Nido Arenal truly feels like a nest perched in the tree tops, with beautiful jungle views. We had tree frog porch pets every evening and could see so many toucans in the trees outside. Loved the howler monkeys calling in the distance each morning from the mist. The peaceful fountain and jungle sounds were a joy to wake up to. The house is beautiful and spacious, pool is warm with a perfect view of the volcano, which is also framed by the windows in each room. It really is a little slice of heaven here, feels very private and removed but only 15 min to LaFortuna and all of the activities are nearby.

Amazing Concierge & Views, But Lacked Indoor Comfort Our stay in La Fortuna had highlights, but the house didn't match our expectations. The Highlights: Concierge: Truly impeccable! The best service I’ve experienced. They texted daily itineraries and handled all planning effortlessly. Views: Beautiful scenery when clear. Great for outdoor enthusiasts who prefer lower-amenity stays. Things to Consider: Drive: The access road is extremely rough and takes 18 minutes, adding 20 extra minutes to every trip. Comfort & Amenities: AC is only in bedrooms, making main rooms hot and muggy. A screened wall opening let rain in every night, leaving floors wet and slippery. Issues: Bathrooms smelled like sewer the whole stay, and the washer was impossible to figure out. Heavy fog meant we only saw the volcano once. Beautiful setting, but due to difficult access and air conditioning issues I probably wouldn’t stay again. I would choose to stay closer in town.
