Amazing place to stay. Next time we are in Costa Rica we will definitely be staying here. It was our 10 year anniversary, not only did they do an amazing job decorating our room they even upgraded our villa. Ricardo especially stood out everyday he helped us weather it was food recommendations and tours. Very clean and comfortable and just a beautiful location with wild life everywhere. We were able to see monkeys right outside our balcony. 100% recommended

The cottage is tucked in nature. I stayed in the two bedroom villa. It was clean and had the basic amenities to make your stay comfortable. The staff was very helpful too. If you want to enjoy a quiet nature stay, this is the place. I also saw a lot of beautiful birds near our cottage in the morning.

We had the most amazing and magical stay at Arenal Waterfall Lodge and would recommend this location to anyone and everyone! Even before arriving, the hotel was great at communicating with us and answering any questions and concerns we had. The property is private and quiet while still providing amazing access to both nature. Our first morning we were woken up by the sound of howler monkeys directly outside our villa. The rooms were very clean and well stocked with the necessary amenities, and staff were happy to provide additional towels as needed. The breakfast is provided by a local restaurant and was cooked fresh every morning - so delicious! A special thank you to Riccardo who took great care of us and answered any questions we had. We hope to stay here again soon.

The entire place was spotless, floors gleaming. The bed sheets were crisp and all the surrounding windows created an amazing and very private view. Great wifi and amazing hot showers. The breakfasts at Geckos were hearty and delicious, such a warm and welcoming space and Charlie's homemade jam, juices, hot sauce, and mojitos were the best! We loved it so much we booked a cooking class with Scott Alan. It was so much fun and is definitely one of the highlights of our time here in Costa Rica. The location was good to, we walked to the Fortuna Waterfall and we were close to coffee/ chocolate tours, and the free passes to the hanging bridges was such a great added value. The only thing that could be better is the cookware, but then there's so many great places to eat out at!

This beautiful property is located just a couple minutes from the La Fortuna Waterfall via a private driveway. It is nestled in the gorgeous lush mountainside and it is so so quiet and DARK. Not to worry - there is a security staff on site 24 hours a day. We checked in late well after dark. Security led us via motorbike to our villa which had amazing views

Valeria checked us in. She's amazing. Room is clean and has a beautiful view. We had a minor issue with no water in our lodge but the admins got to work on it right away. Very quiet, at the base of the volcano and a 12 minute walk from the La Fortuna waterfall. Kind of has a log cabin feel with beautiful views. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. Large rooms, individual bathrooms on each side and a mini kitchen (fridge, microwave, coffee maker). Great for families. We'd stay again
