This place is absolutely incredible! Our bungalow was clean and spacious and at night the sounds of nature made it feel like we were in a rainforest sound bath. The restaurant was beautiful, had such delicious, well-priced food we ended up eating there two nights in a row. At breakfast, fruit was set out for the birds so we could watch them as we ate! The butterfly dome on the property was magical. We went on the night walk tour and the sloth tour and really enjoyed both. There were also young sloths in the trees right by the entrance of the property! We didn't have a car, but it was easy to call an Uber and they arrived within minutes. If you are driving, there are spots for cars next to each of the bungalow. What I loved most about the place was how friendly and helpful everyone was. I'd like to send special thanks to Francisco at reception, who was so patient with all my questions and helped us plan our time/set up tours etc. I highly recommend this place!

Great stay in the forest

Loved our little cabin. Though we had close neighbours it still felt like you were in the middle of the forest. You could sit on the veranda and just listen to the sounds. Room was comfortable, though relatively basic. Had everything you needed like some hanging space (plus a full size under counter fridge - slightly randomly placed, but useful!). Bathroom was dated but all clean and working - and good water pressure/temperature. Breakfast was great, and restaurant reasonably priced on the other occasion we used it. Trails on the property were good and free to access, plus the butterfly cage. We also went on the night walk on the property (discounted price for guests) and highly recommend. Saw lots for a great price. In a rarity for Costa Rica there was a full pavement the whole way down to the main town, so you could walk the 2KM or so without going on the road. We stayed here without a car and did that a number of times. Uber also good in this area. Recommend doing the coffee/chocolate tour at North Fields almost opposite too - great value afternoon. Overall, this was the most unique accommodation we stayed in, and really glad we did.

Arenal oasis is excellent option if you are looking for quiet isolated rustic lush green jungle environment. Full of howler monkeys and colourful birds. Good breakfast, all kind tours, polire customer service.easy 15 min walk to all Ind of restaurants, hot springs. Add another 15 minutes you will be in Fortuna park and downtown. If you are looking to stay around this area literally you don't need car.

We stayed here for a week in June. It was so peaceful in the jungle with howler monkeys serenading us in the early morning. The bird watching and night walks are fabulous. The food is delicious and the staff made us feel very at home. We plan to visit every year.

Forrest Bathing Vibes

Beautiful location! I have slept in jungles on 2 other continents but Arenal Oasis feels so alive and wild! It’s loud here. Not cars, or traffic but the tree frogs, howler monkeys, chirping insects, song birds. That’s sort of the point of this place, but if you need a quiet environment bring ear plugs to sleep! Wild life was everywhere- including many poisonous species. Our kids, 5 & 8 understood not to touch anything, but I would not recommending kids any younger as the jungle surrounds these cabins and there is little “safe” space for them to independently explore. This place is geared to bird lovers and naturalist. We were the only family on site, which was fine if you understand the adult nature of the place. The cabins are immaculate and bug free! However they are poorly ventilated, so be prepared to battle the heat and humidity as there are few breezes and they are not entering your cabin no matter how many windows you have open. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend the night tour. The food at the restaurant is fresh, tasty and affordable. We ate there many more times than planned because we loved it.

The hotel forgot about us We emailed them to left them know our flight changed and we wou5now be arriving late and asked if it was ok or should we cancel our stay They assured the guard would be there to let us in our room. They did not have anyone there to help us we drove 3 hours to this hotel. So at midnight we were stranded 😞 Most of La fortuna was closed our driver called around to help find us a room at 1am Then early in the morning we had to Taco quickly back to Arenal Oasis before rafting excuses picking us up there. We only stayed one night at Arenal Oasis They were sorry we were stranded and stress and obviously didn't charge us for they missed night But that's it Staff was nicand polite Garden was beautiful, loved the vibe Beds were uncomfortable

Lots of wildlife and fauna on the property. Location very convenient-close proximity to restaurants and stores but away from the hectic traffic of main commercial area of La Fortuna. Friendly helpful staff but very rustic basic cabin. Our specific cabin needed repairs and update. In the open window/ventilation areas, the mesh screen had many holes which allowed bugs to enter the cabin especially at night when the lights were on.
