⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Stay – Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property in La Fortuna. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The location is excellent, with many great cafés, restaurants, and attractions within walking distance. The house was spotless, very comfortable, and exactly as described. The pool was fantastic, and we especially loved the warm water after a day of exploring. The views of the Arenal Volcano were simply breathtaking—we were lucky enough to see it in all its glory on our second day, and it was truly unforgettable. The hosts provided exceptional hospitality. Communication was outstanding, with personalized attention and daily check-ins to make sure we had everything we needed. Their recommendations and assistance made our trip even more enjoyable. There are also many tour companies and activities conveniently located near the property, making it a perfect base for exploring the area. We highly recommend this property to anyone visi

Amazing place!!! Really enjoyed the view of the volcano. The house was great. My family really enjoyed being there. There is construction next to the house but it was not bad. We did excursions mid-day so, we missed most of the activity, which was nice. I would definitely stay here again.
Host Response

It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back anytime you visit the Arenal area. Regards, Ana Gretel

I would give this Airb&b a 4.5/5 stars. Our group of 7 stayed for a week and utilized the home to it's fullest. Love the area, it is great for a restful yet active stay. The home's concierge service was awesome, they worked with us to build a perfect week of activities and provided great recs for food and other needs. Sadly, there was construction directly in front of the rental so part of the volcano view was partially blocked. The host did notify us a few weeks before our stay. Pros: volcano view, walkable to a few activities and sodas, outdoor space is large, house is spacious and comfortable, concierge service was 10/10, host was extremely responsive & friendly, great kitchen and a grill is available, onsite laundry Cons: water pressure throughout the house is 3/5 at best making it difficult to wash hair and clean up well, extremely slippery outdoor tiles and pool stairs are rather dangerous (we had a person fall on them and get injured), front door difficult to use at times
Host Response
Dear Jennifer, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall and that our concierge team was able to help create a memorable week for your group. Your kind words about our communication, recommendations, outdoor spaces, location, and overall comfort truly mean a lot to us. We also sincerely appreciate your feedback regarding the areas where we can improve. As mentioned prior to your arrival, the construction taking place on a neighboring property is temporary and unfortunately outside of our control, but we understand how it may have affected part of the volcano view during your stay. Regarding the water pressure, this is something we continue to monitor closely. Due to the property’s hillside location and the high demand periods that occasionally affect the local water system, pressure can vary at certain times of the day. We are especially sorry to hear about the fall on the outdoor tiles. Guest safety is extremely important to us, and we take comments like this very seriously. We will review this area again with our maintenance team to determine whether additional anti-slip measures can be implemented. We also appreciate your comments regarding the front door and will have our team inspect it to ensure everything is functioning properly. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for recognizing the efforts of our team. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Arenal in the future. Regards, Ana Gretel

Stunning home with beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano. The amenities were great and the location cannot be beat. I felt the host was proactive and always responsive. I would definitely stay again and would recommend to friends. Only suggestion would be to have light where the key pad is particularly when guests are arriving at night.
Host Response
Dear Monique, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the home, the views, and the location, and that you felt well supported throughout your stay.

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be more than happy to welcome you back anytime. Regards, Ana Gretel

We had a great stay at this house. The house itself is beautiful and very clean. The cleaners even came during our stay which I’ve never seen at previous Air BNBs. The kids loved the pool- it was very warm! FYI there is no shallow end, it’s about 5 feet deep all around. The view is beautiful- we had a string of bad weather though so never got to see the full volcano as it was covered in fog the whole time. But that’s no fault of the host of course. A dishwasher would be a nice addition, you have to hand wash all the dishes. All in all would definitely recommend this house to anyone vacationing in La Fortuga.
Host Response
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re very happy to hear that you had a great stay and enjoyed the house, the cleanliness, and the service from our team. It’s wonderful to know the kids had such a great time in the pool as well. We appreciate your understanding regarding the weather—while the volcano doesn’t always show itself, the views still have their own beauty. Thank you also for your suggestion about the dishwasher. We truly value this kind of feedback as we continue improving the experience for our guests. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back anytime. Regards, Ana

This is a great modern house just outside of La Fortuna, but still walkable to a coffee shop and several restaurants. The hosts were very responsive when a few minor issues and questions came up, and having the pool was wonderful for the kids, highly recommended.

Lovely villa with a mind-bending view of the volcano. The outdoor space is great and the wide-opening sliding doors allow you to flow right into the volcano life including hearing howler monkeys in the distance. The location is great, feels like you’re in nature but all the Fortuna and reserve sites are less than 15 mins away. It is important to set expectations - the finishes are rather basic (no dishwasher, beds and sofas aren’t plush, and hot water is finicky) and the construction next door does impact the sound (even on weekends) and view from upstairs (but site can NOT be seen from downstairs or back yard). The nearby Coffee Time has a great breakfast (5 second walk) and the place seems very safe and secure. Incredible value compared to the hotel rates, that’s for sure.
Host Response
Dear Dustin, Thank you very much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the unique setting of the villa, especially the views of the volcano, the outdoor space, and those special moments surrounded by nature. It’s great to hear the location worked well for exploring the area, and that you felt comfortable and secure during your stay. We also truly appreciate your honest feedback. We’ll take your comments into account as we continue improving the experience for our guests. Your perspective is very valuable to us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be happy to welcome you back anytime. Regards, Ana Gretel

The house was so beautiful and clean. The pool was amazing. Our teens loved it. The town was a short drive to many restaurants and shops. The views of the volcano were great. This is a nice area. The host did let us know prior to arrival that they were starting construction next door of a retaining wall. The workers live on site in a make shift hut but they caused no problems and only worked during the hours stated.
Host Response
Dear Lauren, Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the home, the beautiful views, and that the pool was such a highlight for your family — especially for your teens. It’s great to know the location worked well for exploring nearby restaurants and shops, and that you found the area pleasant and convenient. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the nearby construction and your note that it did not affect your stay. Transparency is very important to us, and we’re glad everything remained comfortable throughout your visit. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, and we would be very happy to welcome you back anytime you return to La Fortuna. Warm regards, Ana Gretel

We had a wonderful stay in La Fortuna. The house was perfect for us. We enjoyed spending time in the pool before and after our outings. Although we never saw any, we could hear howler monkeys all day long, which was truly amazing. We could walk to a coffee shop and a soda and the drive to other places was simple. Diego, our Concierge was absolutely fabulous!! He was on top of everything and super responsive. There is construction next door but it did not bother us in the slightest. We honestly never heard or saw them when we were outside. We would definitely stay here again. Loved it!
Host Response
Dear Katie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that the house was a perfect fit for your stay and that you enjoyed relaxing in the pool between your outings. It’s great to know you experienced the sounds of the howler monkeys — even when they stay hidden, they certainly make the rainforest feel alive. We’re also happy that the nearby coffee shop and soda added convenience to your stay. Thank you as well for your kind words about the concierge service. It was truly a pleasure assisting you and helping with the details of your visit. We’re very glad the nearby construction did not affect your experience, and we truly appreciate you mentioning it. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be very happy to welcome you back anytime you return to La Fortuna. Warm regards, Ana Gretel
