Rainbow Place Costa Rica

I stayed here for a month. The home is bigger than I thought it was from the photos, with a kitchen, bedroom and living room (and bathroom of course!). There is hot water in the kitchen and bathroom sink, as well as the shower! The living room also has a pull out bed. The kitchen has ample space to prepare meals. The herb garden was amazing. I even got to enjoy fresh off the tree bananas! The views of Lake Arenal and Arenal volcano in the distance never got boring! I did not have a car and walked everywhere. The town is 1km away, the “beach”, a windsurfing area is 2.5km away (but access to the trails is 1km until you are off the main road). The road isn’t really busy (less in the early morning) but no shoulders so you have to be careful when walking on the road. The town has everything I needed: fruit stand, groceries, fresh eggs and fresh milk. Raquel was beyond helpful and so resourceful and Ernesto the cat is super sweet! I felt more like family staying my month with Raquel!

Raquel is the best host. She gave us lots of tips and recommendations. Her house was perfect for what we needed and we'll equipped. You can't beat the view.
