2 bedroom Villa w/private Jacuzzi Breakfast Inclu. - Boutique hotels for Rent in La Fortuna, Costa Rica

This accomodation was so unique. It was open air except for the two bedrooms/bathrooms. They were air conditioned. We loved the private spa and used it often becuase it was raining. The grounds are my favorite part of this stay. It's like you are staying in the jungle, and you are! We would definately come back. The staff was top knotch kind and helpful. The only negative was our communication with Pablo. Twice I asked questions/recommendations about the unit as well as tours and such and did not receive a response. I only received the stock response upon check in and move out until the day before we arrived and we messaged to give an arrival time and he responded.

We had a lovely stay at Casa del Rio! The property feels very safe and is close enough to all the main attractions. We’re a family of four, and there was plenty of space for all of us. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle was such a fun experience. From our room we saw many birds, monkeys, frogs, fish, and more. The jacuzzi worked perfectly, and we enjoyed it every night. We also treated ourselves to a massage at the facility and dined at the restaurant both were great experiences. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately our experience was very negative. We paid the full amount that Airbnb told us at the time of booking and at no time were we informed that we had to pay an additional payment upon arrival. When we arrived at the place, he told us that the payment was only a "down payment" and that we had to pay an extra amount, which was never previously communicated. We explained that this was an error outside of our control and that we simply complied with the price published on the platform. They did not give us the room, so we had to leave without being able to apply the reservation. We consider it the host's responsibility to respect the posted price and to assume any errors in their billing system. I wouldn't go or recommend it to anyone else.

Lamentablemente nuestra experiencia fue muy negativa. Pagamos el monto total que Airbnb nos indicó al momento de hacer la reserva y en ningún momento se nos informó que debíamos cancelar un pago adicional al llegar. Cuando llegamos al lugar, nos indicó que lo pagado era solo un “enganche” y que debíamos pagar un monto extra, lo cual nunca fue comunicado previamente. Explicamos que ese era un error ajeno a nosotros y que simplemente cumplimos con el precio publicado en la plataforma. No nos entregaron la habitación, por lo que tuvimos que retirarnos sin poder aplicar de la reserva. Consideramos que es responsabilidad del anfitrión respetar el precio publicado y asumir cualquier error en su sistema de cobro. No iría ni lo recomendaría a alguien más.

Amazing place ! It exceeded all of our expectations! The sounds at night were magical! Slept so good! So fun to cook and hot tub outside. Would definitely stay here again. Great for our family and kids.

We had a wonderful time at the Remanso Villa! The sound of the river, the surrounding rainforest, and the pond all contributed to a very relaxing atmosphere. Everyone on the property was friendly and attentive, and the location was very close to the zip lines and ATVs. The restaurant on the grounds offered a beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time at Remanso Villa and that the sounds of the river, the surrounding rainforest, and the peaceful pond helped create a truly relaxing atmosphere for you. It’s also great to know that our team made you feel welcome and well taken care of — we take pride in offering warm, attentive service to all our guests. We're glad you enjoyed the convenient access to nearby adventures like the zip lines and ATVs, as well as the stunning views of the Arenal Volcano from our restaurant. It truly is a special sight! We hope to welcome you back again soon for more rest, nature, and adventure.

Casa del rio had incredible grounds. The landscaping was impeccable and we were thrilled with the vibe of the place. We had the last villa near the river and the river was insanely loud. Great for white noise while sleeping, but bad for conversation. The only downsides to the place were the living room is “outside”. Not terrible, interesting. No tv in the living room. No way to play music. The tv is the bedrooms was horrible audio.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly glad to hear you enjoyed the grounds — our team puts a lot of care into the landscaping, and it’s wonderful to know the atmosphere and vibe of the property made an impression. Staying in the last villa near the river definitely offers a unique immersion in nature. Many guests love the powerful sound of the river as a natural “white noise,” though we understand it may not be ideal for quiet conversation at times — thank you for pointing that out. Regarding the open-air living room, it’s part of our concept of blending indoor comfort with the surrounding rainforest — though we understand it may feel unconventional to some. We appreciate your comments about the TV and audio setup as well. We’re always looking for ways to enhance our guest experience, and your feedback is helpful as we consider future upgrades, including music options in common areas. We’re very glad you chose to stay with us and hope to welcome you back again soon for another peaceful (and hopefully more tech-friendly) stay!

Amazing place to stay in La fortuna. Beautiful grounds, pools and restaurant. Hostess at check in was so kind and helpful. The guys at the restaurant were great, and the food delicious. The rope swing is just around the corner and downtown is also walkable. Loved staying in this hotel it was a dream.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a wonderful stay with us and that Casa del Río felt like a dream. It’s great to know you enjoyed the beautiful grounds, pools, and restaurant — and that our team, both at check-in and in the restaurant, made you feel welcome and well cared for. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words! We’re also glad you got to enjoy the nearby rope swing and the convenience of being able to walk into town — it’s one of the things that makes our location so special. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more unforgettable moments in La Fortuna!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Pablo’s place to celebrate my birthday. It is a beautiful peaceful resort surrounded by the rainforest and rushing river.  Maria and Darren at the Reception desk were friendly, courteous and responsive and catered to our needs.  We enjoyed hiking the arenal volcano lava trails and mystical hanging bridges nearby, saw a mommy and baby sloth during our sloth tour and enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Breakfast at the resort was also a nice amenity and convenient. We brought our laundry to a place nearby in town to wash and dry as there are no laundry facilities on site.

Wow! We were super surprised when we arrived to find a beautifully landscaped boutique hotel in a gated area. The staff were super welcoming and helpful providing a group text message for assistance, golf cart rides for luggage and they even helped transport us when it was raining. The restaurant was great with a huge breakfast included and the wait staff were so nice to our kids, even entertaining them with bar tricks! The rooms were as pictured but even bigger than I expected with more bathrooms and the private jacuzzi was a super nice bonus. Our kids LOVED the water slide and the fish in the pond by our room. We wished we would have stayed longer but would definitely come back here again! You don’t even need to leave the compound, it’s really very luxurious. The river and animals are loud at night so if you are a light sleeper that may keep you up but it was very peaceful and serene being that close to nature. 10/10!

You felt like you were in the staying in the Rainforest yet so close to the amenities of La Fortuna. Would highly recommend this property.

Very nice site that includes several villas. Vegetation is abundant and lush. It's more beautiful than the pictures. Kids loved the facilities (picines, slide, basketball). The staff was super nice!

Très beau site qui comprends plusieurs villas. La végétation est abondante et luxuriante. C’est plus beau que sur les photos. Les enfants ont adorés les installations (picines, glissade, basketball). Le personnel était super gentil!

the place was exactly as listed. it was beautiful,  had everything we needed and the staff and grounds at the property were amazing. I highly recommend staying here

We had a group of ten and we all had are own places. The service was outstanding for all of us. The restaurant has great food. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. We would definitely come back and highly recommend. Don’t hesitate to book here, it’s outstanding. You can walk to town or take a cab for very little cost

what a gorgeous  property...staff that made you feel right at home. delicious breakfast options..the unit was clean and very spacious.. a most enjoyable  stay

Had such an amazing time at Casa Del Rio. The pictures don't do it justice at all. It was beautiful and relaxing and we would stay again without hesitation. The amount of care put into this property is evident all around. we loved every minute of our stay here.

This lush, beautiful property was everything that we hoped for and so much more. Very secure and private but close to town, the volcano and the hot springs. We enjoyed hiking, 4 wheeler rides and multiple restaurants all within a 10 minute drive of our house. We will be back!

We had a great stay at the Casa del Rio. The facility was beautiful, clean, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. We would definitely go back.

Beautiful and private hotel, just outside La Fortuna. The grounds are lush and well kept, right along the river. All staff were warm and welcoming. Pools were serene. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and the dining room overlooks the magnificent volcano. Sounds crazy but try the yummy beef stew for breakfast! LOL Comfy beds and pillows. The outdoor couches aren’t too comfy though. They have slippery, crunchy cushions because they are waterproof but not much you can do about that. We loved it here and would return.

We had a great stay for our trip to La Fortuna. The staff was supportive.

This is a very beautiful place to stay in La Fortuna. The on-site staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the daily free breakfast. Would definitely stay here again!

The place is even more gorgeous in person! It’s right us against the river that you hear continuously and overlooking a small duck pond where you can hear and watch the ducks. My family absolutely loved the accommodations. It was clean and so cool. The staff are very nice and the food at the restaurant was amazing! Breakfast is a huge bonus and we had dinner there all but one night of our stay. Prices are reasonable and it was delicious! The staff at the restaurant went above and beyond at each meal. This place is a little oasis that is close to town (walking distance) and very secure and comfortable. I would not hesitate to book - Casa Del Rio exceeded my expectations! I have a feeling we’ll be back again soon!

Most importantly for me - the bed was really comfortable. The first night I slept in the front bedroom but the lovely ducks woke me up way too early, so moved to the back bedroom and it was great.  Loved the open living area and the jacuzzi.  Just needs a saucepan and a toaster

Beautiful place, staff is ver friendly.  Amazing location and beautiful

Our stay at Pablo’s place was great! The living area and kitchen are all open air, but the bedrooms are closed and air conditioned. It was a beautiful property and we really enjoyed our time there.

Pablo was a brilliant host – always getting back to our requests within minutes. The property was very clean and modern with comfy beds and all facilities included. Great service and perfect location

If you’re looking for a unique experience, then book this place!!  My family and I absolutely LOVED our stay at Casa Del Rio.  The room is an open air concept, so it’s like you’re living and sleeping in the Costa Rican rainforest.  This is something that we enjoyed the most about our stay.  However, it does make for a very “sticky and buggy” stay due to the intense humidity.  So if you don’t like the feeling of camping, this place might not be for you.  The Airbnb hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating.  Anytime we had an issue with something, they were always very quick to respond.  The free breakfast in the mornings was also a surprise bonus.  I loved that it was a smaller hotel property- it felt very secluded and private.  The water slide on the property was also a trip highlight for our kids. I would definitely stay at this Airbnb/boutique hotel again!!  Definitely a 10/10.

Casa del Rio is a spectacular place. So many details have gone into creating this get away. The landscaping is breathtaking. Every time we stepped outside, we were in awe of the beauty. There are so many things on property that we didn’t realize until the last day. It would be nice if when you arrive, someone showed you around. There are basketball courts, chickens, peacocks, multiple pools, a slide that my kids enjoyed, and so much more. Breakfast was amazing. We were so impressed with the delicious breads, fruits, juices, coffee, and menu. We were there for the first weekend of the restaurant opening. This is going to be an amazing place. Great food, ambiance, music. The only thing I would add is the option for “to go” food for the room from the restaurant for those who have had a busy day and want to relax in their room. It would also be nice to have a bar area, for those that just want a cocktail or glass of wine or even take a drink/bottle of wine back to the room.

Superb villa and resort, perfect for us, a family of four. Pool and water slide were much loved by the kids. The villa is surrounded by so much nature, the sound of the river roaring, the noise of the monkeys, toucans in the morning. The included breakfast is incredible, lovely attentive staff. Special shout out to Genesis and Louis for their attention : ) The whole experience felt very private, luxurious and very special overall.

The staff was nice and friendly, and helped us have the best time possible. The place is beautiful! If we are back in Arenal we would come back to this charming place. Thank you Hayward, Alejandra, Jose and Genesis for making our stay so comfortable.

I cannot express how impressed we were with Casa Del Rio! It was above and beyond our expectations! Howard and Luis were amazing! If you are looking for paradise, this is it! We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa, surrounded by absolutely beautiful grounds! We will definitely stay here again!

The entire property has a peaceful, relaxing spa-like atmosphere that surpassed our expectations. The pictures don’t do the the place justice! It’s gorgeous and the sound of water surrounds you all over the resort. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property not far from La Fortuna Falls.  This boutique hotel was a great choice for our trip.  The included breakfast every morning made sure we started our day off with plenty of energy.  The pool was perfect for cooling down after a long day of hiking.  t is close to town and there are restaurants and a market within a mile of the property.  Upon arrival, we were added to a chat on What's App so the hose was always just a short message away with assistance.   We did not find out until the last day that was possibly a sloth in the trees above our room or we would have spent entirely too much time trying to find him (spoiler alert: they are hard to find).

The rental is very unique with having the living space in open air.

My family really enjoyed our stay at Casa Del Rio.  The place was truly beautiful and unique.  We would love to go back.

The place is great, clean and nice. On the other hand, we were often disturbed by washer shelves that tried to open the kitchen doors. We had to put everything in the fridge including trash. It helped but didn't stop them waking us up several times. it was the only downside to our stay.

Le logement est formidable, propre et agréable. Par contre, nous avons été dérangés souvent par des rayons laveurs qui essayaient s'ouvrir les portes de la cuisine. Nous avons dû tout mettre dans le réfrigérateur incluant les déchets. Ça a aidé mais cela ne les a pas arrêtés de nous réveiller à plusieurs reprises. c'était le seul point négatif de notre séjour.

We loved our stay! We stayed in the 2 bedroom casa and thought the space was comfortable and well-laid out. We particularly loved the grounds. All the plants were so lush and beautiful. Also loved the water slide, hot tub, pool, soccer field and basketball court. Finally it was so nice to have breakfast each morning and the young lady that was our waitress was so kind and friendly. We looked forward to talking with her each morning and she made our trip much more enjoyable. We felt we got great value for the price and we would highly recommend! The only aspect of the trip that could use help is check in and check out. There isn’t a great system and we ended up just having to wait at the gate until another guest was coming in when we arrived. Thankfully that wasn’t a very long wait. Check out also required a little work to find someone. But overall, those challenges were minimal and wouldn’t change our decision to stay here in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our 2 bedroom casa and found the grounds, amenities, and breakfast service to be of high value. Your kind words about our staff have been shared with them and we thank you for your kind words. We appreciate the feedback regarding check in and check out experiences and we understand that this can impact our guests’ overall experience. At Hotel Casa Del Rio, we strive to prioritize customer service excellence in all areas of our operations, so rest assured that this is something we are looking into improving. Thank you again for your visit and kind words about Hotel Casa Del Rio. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Absolutely loved the community grounds of this property. It felt like 5 star resorts we have been to. We booked the family suite by the river and loved how we could hear the river rushing. It was very private, quiet and relaxing. Our kids loved the slide and it was nice having the soccer field. The location is very convenient to everything in the area. The check-in was a little confusing waiting in the car for 10 minutes to have someone greet us and take you to your place but once inside you understand why. Only recommendation would be provide more towels or a community dryer. Things don't dry quickly and only receiving one pool and one bath towel we always had damp towels. Hopefully back in Costa Rica someday so we can stay again.

Casa Del Rio far exceeded our expectations! Our family of four (including 2 boys aged 10 and 12) spent 5 nights here and our stay was incredible. We rented to Casa that had 2 bedrooms and private kitchen and hot tub and it was huge in size including the extra large comfy beds. But we also used one of the common kitchen too which was very accessible, as it was fun for the kids to be using the water slide while we were cooking. The pool was absolutely beautiful and large plus we usually had it to ourselves. The grounds were lush and gorgeous and a staff even came to get us one day to show us a sloth right on the property. Finally, the included breakfast was like being at a gourmet restaurant where you ordered off their delicious menu selection. From a traditional Costa Rican Breakfast to breakfast tortillas and croquettes. Plus they had coffee, yoghurt and fresh fruit, banana bread and juices. Some of the best meals we experienced while in Costa Rica.

Highly recommend staying here, we all had a fantastic time!

This place is a gem. Our kids loved the water slide. Beautiful accommodations. Great breakfast included. We would definitely return.

The place was great! Sanctuary of tropical plants, rushing river and very safe and secure.

We loved the place, I'm sure we'll be back!!! Hayward was very kind!!!

Nos encantó el lugar, por seguro volveremos!!! Hayward fue muy amable!!!

Absolutely beautiful place, peaceful and close to all activities in La Fortuna The staff is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend staying there for a stay in La Fortuna A little piece of paradise !

The double room we booked had maintenance or something happened to it, but Felicia reached out to me and offered 2 different units to be utilized. One with a jacuzzi and the other with a balcony view of the forest and goose pond. Nice place, felt secured. Very responsive through messaging service, Hayward and Alejandra responsive during our stay. Recommend getting the hot stone massage while staying here. Only thing missing as of now is a restaurant/dining area. About a 2-3 minute drive into town.

Casa del Río was wonderful in every way. Everyone we encountered was so helpful and kind. The space is very peaceful and beautiful. The kids loved the pool and water slide. Also, the hot tub is brand new and was a much welcomed addition after some big days of adventuring.

Wow this property really succeeded my expectations ! When we pulled up to the front gate we didn’t know what to expect, and once the gate opened it was like entering a tropical paradise ! What I like is that you can’t tell from the outside what’s on the inside. It truly was a tropical paradise in there. I can honestly say it definitely enhanced our whole experience at La Fortuna. It’s very close to the local town where you have several grocery stores and restaurants. We were a family of 4 and stayed at the Remanso Villa which was perfect for us. We really enjoyed having the outdoor kitchen living area which was fully equipped with everything you need. They brought us fresh eggs the same day we arrived which lasted us the entire stay. The jacuzzi was such a nice amenity to have in the villa as well which was something we definitely took advantage of every night. My son loved the outdoor slide and pool area as well as the soccer field and basketball court. They even have a communal kitchen area where you can hang out with family and friends. The landscaping alone at this property was just spectacular and had us in awe the entire time. The hosts were extremely attentive and very helpful. Hayward made sure we had everything we needed at all times and was super responsive with all my requests and questions. He even helped us arrange massages right next door to our villa ! Which I highly recommend ! If you are visiting La Fortuna, I would highly recommend staying here at this beautiful piece of paradise! I can’t wait to go back in the future. 🫶

Wow! Such an amazing and unique property in a safe and tranquil environment! We had an incredible time staying here and it enhanced the whole experience of La Fortuna! Very convenient to town yet you feel Ike you are in a secluded tropical wonderland with so many nice amenities as part of the small community! The open layout is spectacular and like something you would read about in an architecture magazine. The hosts were extremely thoughtful and responsive regarding check in, check out and everything. They responded in literally minutes. Luis and Felicia were truly wonderful in every way! Luis even gave my wife some flowers for Mothers Day! You will have such a nice time if you are lucky enough to be able to book this little piece of paradise!

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, IS A PIECE OF PARADISE ON EARTH, AN OPEN CONCEPT IN WHICH YOU ARE PART OF NATURE, THE SOUND OF THE RIVER A FEW METERS FROM THE HOUSE IS SO RELAXING AND THE LANDSCAPE SO WONDERFUL AND CLEAN, THAT INVITES US TO RETURN AND PUT THIS PLACE AMONG OUR FAVORITES OF THE WORLD. THANK YOU FOR HAVING SUCH GOOD TASTE AND INTEGRATING WITH NATURE IN A MASTERLY WAY, THE FACILITIES AND THE CONCEPT EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS, YOU HAVE TO VISIT IT.   BLESSINGS.

UN HERMOSO LUGAR, ES UN PEDAZO DE PARAISO EN LA TIERRA, UN CONCEPTO ABIERTO EN EL CUAL ERES PARTE DE LA NATURALEZA, EL SONIDO DEL RIO A UNOS METROS DE LA CASA ES TAN RELAJANTE Y EL PAISAJE TAN MARAVILLOSO Y LIMPIO, QUE NOS INVITA A REGRESAR Y PONER ESTE LUGAR ENTRE NUESTROS FAVORITOS DEL MUNDO. GRACIAS POR TENER TAN BUEN GUSTO E INTEGRARNOS A LA NATURALEZA DE MANERA MAGISTRAL, LAS INSTALACIONES Y EL CONCEPTO SUPERARON NUESTRAS ESPECTACTIVAS, TIENEN QUE VISITARLO.   BENDICIONES.

We stayed at Remanso del rio for 3 nights as a family of 4. We loved having our own private outdoor space to eat and lounge. The kids loved that they had their own room with a tv to chill out after being out all day. The grounds and swimming pools were beautiful and so well maintained. You really felt like you were away from the busy town of La Fortuna when you entered the space. It was still so close for us to drive in to town though and we loved being able to get away from the main strip at the end of the day. We used the kitchen quite a bit and loved that we had a blender to make fresh fruit smoothies. Hayward, who greeted us, was great if we needed help and Felicia was super easy to communicate with.

We had a wonderful stay in Remanso del Rio on the beautiful property of Casa del Rio.  The surroundings are stunning and lush.  Casa del Rio is closer to a luxury boutique hotel than your typical AirBnB. We enjoyed the seclusion offered by the villa's location at the back of the property and the soothing sounds of the rushing river.  Though both bedrooms were fantastic, the outdoor living room / dining room / kitchen area was the highlight of the property for us.  We spent much of our time relaxing here, looking out at the pond where they raise tilapia and even seeing a Tiger Heron catch one.  Luis was our primary point of contact and he was amazingly hospitable from the moment we arrived.  He gave us a fantastic tour of the villa and then drove us all around the Casa Del Rio property - even going into the hen house to give us fresh eggs for the morning.  Luis was always a text message away - rapidly responding to any request, such as scheduling on-property massages and bringing more eggs for our second morning. (Thanks, Luis!)  In all, we had an amazing stay and feel so grateful for the care we received.  As others have mentioned, the private hot tub was not working (which we knew in advance and didn't mind); however, they began installation of a new hot tub on the morning of our departure - so I bet that you'll be able to enjoy a wonderful private hot tub as well.  Very nearby restaurants we enjoyed were El Chante Verde (we ate here twice) and Restaurante Tiquicia.  Obviously, we would return and recommend a stay here to anyone!

This is our second time staying at Casa  Rio. We love the rainforest vibe and the running river is very relaxing to listen to. Felicia is very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. she even arranged massages (maximum 2 people at a time).  The grounds are beautiful and we loved the slide and hot tub (although i wish the hot tub was warmer, it was still nice).  Everything stays pretty wet, but they will send fresh towels upon request. Great location, close to town and tons of great restaurants.  There is a pizza place right on the main road that is fabulous and is literally a 3 minute drive.

Excellent experience, the place is beautiful, the maintenance exceptional, the facilities very comfortable. Really a jewel in La Fortuna that we didn't know. We hope to return soon. Excellent experience, the place is beautiful, the maintenance is exceptional, the facilities are very comfortable. Really a gem in La Fortuna that we didn't know about. We look forward to returning soon.

Excellent experience, the place is beautiful, the maintenance exceptional, the facilities very comfortable. Really a jewel in La Fortuna that we didn't know. We hope to return soon. Excelente experiencia, el lugar es precioso, el mantenimiento excepcional, las instalaciones muy cómodas. Realmente una joya en La Fortuna que no conocíamos. Esperamos regresar pronto.

Our stay at Casa del Rio was purely magical!  We stayed in the Remanso cottage and it was perfect. The open air living room was like living in the jungle. We love the sound of the river too!!

Fantastic stay, the host went above & beyond. The grounds are beautiful & extreme safe & secure.  We loved our stay.

Unique open air concept in combined living/dining space. Took advantage of well kept community saltwater pool, and during the rainy hours the tvs well equipped with Netflix and cable. My son loved the fish pond right off the living room. We slept easily with the sound of the river. Friendly and accommodating staff. Responsive host. We drove to town after long days hiking. Would come back again for the adventure. Thank you.

This was a great home that was close to so many restaurants and attractions.  The property was gorgeous and felt very safe. The staff especially Hayward took very good care of us and were always quick to respond. There was a small maintenance issue that happened while we were there and they fixed it immediately and made sure it didn’t negatively affect our stay.  I would definitely stay there again.

Felicia was very responsive and helpful through your stay, including getting some items we needed.  The grounds were lovely too.  We highly recommend this place.

Impressive location. The place is can't be described with photos. It is really worth it the sound of the the river and the overall experience is superb.

Gorgeous place …. Only complaint was the private jacuzzi didn’t actually work … but they made other accommodations for us. Location minutes to downtown, and the host was available at any time …. Including getting us fresh towels, arranging our massages, etc. Can’t wait to return. Cheers!!

Beautiful spot , comfortable beds, amazing gardens , river next to cabin , great responsive staff, great location, ended staying 3 additional nights ,

Awesome rental and close to downtown La Fortuna! The only thing we had an issue with is that the jacuzzi did not work. That was one of the main reasons we booked this location! Host did not inform us in advance that it was not working nor if they were going to get fixed.

The villa is really very pleasant. Sitting by the Rio (be careful, the noise of the torrent is very loud, what you can love or hate...), it is very nicely furnished and decorated, in a beautifully planted garden that allowed us to observe many birds. We particularly enjoyed the large swimming pool and the jacuzzi (collective, the one of the villa is still not repaired). The kitchen is very well-equipped, the bedding super comfortable, and the service impeccable (a big thank you to Luis for the fresh eggs, pineapple and the breakdown of the safe). The hotel is a 3-minute drive from the center of La Fortuna.

La villa est vraiment très agréable. Posée au bord du Rio (attention, le bruit du torrent est très fort, ce qu'on peut adorer ou détester...), elle est très joliment aménagée et décorée, dans un jardin magnifiquement planté qui nous a permis d'observer de nombreux oiseaux. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la grande piscine et le jacuzzi (collectif, celui de la villa n'étant toujours pas réparé). La cuisine est très bien équipée, la literie super confortable, et le service impeccable (un grand merci à Luis pour les oeufs frais, l'ananas et le dépannage du coffre fort). L'hotel se trouve à 3mn en voiture du centre de La Fortuna.

Really great place to stay. Super convenient to town, would come again.

A beautiful and relaxing stay! There are so many more amenities than I realized: a water slide, a pizza oven, basketball courts, a beautiful river for swimming and we took advantage of them all! A truly incredible value and the best of outdoor and indoor living.

This unit description is accurate. The property is beautiful. Nice place if you don't mind bugs. The hot tub does not work with no plans to fix it. I had 2 bottles in the shower, but they weren't labeled so not sure what they were.

Such a great place, very clean and so much extra. Felicia is also very  responsive. There are signs for the community if you look to follow along to enter on right side. The community is also fantastic and has too much amenities.

Beautiful place and property!! Great location

Our trip to La Fortuna was made even more incredible by our stay at Casa del Rio. You will question what is behind that gate when you arrive since there is an ATV graveyard next door, but it is crazy beautiful once inside. We loved the layout of our casita with its open-air living room and kitchen. We spent lazy mornings hanging out and making breakfast before heading out for adventures and came back in the evenings for cocktails and games. We were living in the middle of the jungle and this is exactly what we hoped for. BTW, don’t leave food lying around or you’ll likely have a nighttime visitor who will partake of it. We never saw the actual animal, just footprints and half-eaten food! Other than that, no other creature came into our area. The whole casita feels very private and is in the back of the property so you rarely see any other guests there. You might see more activity when the spa is open, but I doubt it is too intrusive. The hotel has about 15 rooms so you have a good chance of enjoying the grounds and its amenities alone – especially during the day when other guests are doing excursions. The hot tub and water slide are separate areas from the main pool area. Watch out, the water slide is fast! Sit up for a slower experience. The grounds are immaculate and the hosts are responsive. I could live here! One final note, as others mentioned, the private hot tub wasn’t working so I would recommend not booking this place if that is important to you. It would’ve been nice to have, but the place is so incredible it ultimately didn’t matter.

Beautiful residence and very nice well maintained accommodation. Excellent bedding! Be careful of the coati who comes to search our food and garbage at night and prevents us from sleeping 😅 Too bad for the hot tub that wasn't working when we weren't informed (otherwise the rating would have been 5 stars) Thankfully Félicia was able to compensate for our disappointment. We recommend this listing!

Magnifique résidence et très beau logement bien entretenu. Literie excellente ! Attention au coati qui vient fouiller notre nourriture et la poubelle la nuit et nous empêche de dormir 😅 Dommage pour le jacuzzi qui ne fonctionnait pas alors que nous n'avions pas été informés (sinon la note aurait été de 5 étoiles) Heureusement Félicia a su compenser notre déception. Nous recommandons ce logement !

Great place to stay in La Fortuna. Just outside the main town in a quieter more natural setting. The house is located in a larger gated and walled off resort property which feels very secure and has great amenities with a nice pool, water slide pool, hot tub, soccer field, basketball court, and fish pond. The living area is open to nature and very peaceful. We had great views of sloths right outside our front door which were better than during our guided sloth tour.

We were worried the pictures wouldn’t be accurate but they are! Very beautiful and relaxing location. You can hear the River which is incredibly soothing. We would love to come back.

Overall this was a great property right next to the river. The river sound was awesome at night and the grounds were beautiful. We were disappointed that the private jacuzzi wasn’t working, since that was the main reason we booked this place. Be warned that the living area and kitchen are completely open to the outside, do not leave food out in the open or you may be surprised by some furry visitors! Lots of space and  nice finishes. We enjoyed the birds, ducks, turkeys, lizards, fish, and the beautiful landscaping!

This place is amazing! The surroundings are so beautiful. There is a river just outside so you hear the peaceful sounds of the water. The living space is open where you can look out at the a pond and enjoy the birds. We had a kingfisher visit while we were there. The bedrooms are comfortable and beautiful. The air-conditioning worked well. The showers were large with great pressure and hot water! There is an open-air kitchen which I loved cooking at!  Don't leave your bananas on the counter! We found the peels on the floor the next morning. Lol We saw a sloth in a tree just out the front door. We spent time at the pool & water slide. We saw howler monkeys in the trees by the hot tub. The grounds were so manicured it was just beautiful to walk around the property. The employees that worked there were all so nice. They brought us eggs for breakfast and they drove us & our luggage in golf carts to the place when we arrived and when we left. We went down to the river where there was a waterfall and a rope swing to jump in the deep end. We walked down the street to a lovely restaurant for dinner. I would highly recommend this place and we hope to return one day! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Everything was great but would have loved to known the jacuzzi wasn’t working.

Really great stay! The hottub is actually bone dry and doesn’t look like it’s been used in a very long time, but the pool and community hot tub were really nice. A bit further from town than we expected, about a 20-25 minute walk, but that’s ok. Really close to a fun part of the river with a public rope swing so that was a fun surprise! We would recommend this to people who are fairly active or at least willing to drive whenever they wanted to go into town

This place was simply amazing. Tranquility and peace is just the beginning of the way to describe our stay. We had a pond next to our open air living room/ kitchen.  Luis took such good care of us. Literally anything we wanted I texted him at any time of day or night and he made sure we had everything we needed. They set me up with a guide who booked all our excursions. It was so simple and fun. We were all so impressed with the grounds. The pictures do not do this place justice. 5/5 I recommend this place to anyone, families with small children too adults that want to have fun. The hot tub and pools are amazing

Excellent place to stay while in La Fortuna. The location is close to town with many very good restaurants within a short drive.  The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the accommodations are top notch.  Great pool and really fun water slide with sports activities on site as well. Communication was great and all of the staff was very helpful. The only negative is that the private hot tub was not in service. Kind of a bummer when that is a headline in the description of the place.

This  is truly a "hidden" gem. Located behind a white gate, it can be a little confusing but you're in the right place! Beautiful setting, full of colorful flora, chickens, ducks, and peacocks (they're quiet) and lots of areas to relax. We loved our two bedroom unit with its' open air living room and kitchen. Beds were comfortable- one bedroom had an en suite bathroom, the other bedroom used the bathroom down the hall. Not sure if all two bedrooms have that arrangement.  Highly recommend the restaurant around the corner- Restaurant Tiquicia. There is market very close by as well as some shops that sell beautiful wood products!  Great place to hang and relax!

a magical place in total connection with nature

un lugar mágico en conexión total con la naturaleza

beautiful area and place was great. beds were comfy.  would stay again

Great complex, very friendly staff made us feel very comfortable. The point deduction is for the still defective hot tub in the house (see other reviews). Next time we would choose another room to have a little more tranquility from the river. Overall, we would highly recommend Casa Del Rio to come back.

Super Anlage, sehr freundliches Personal haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Den Punkt Abzug gibt es für den noch immer defekten Whirlpool im Haus (siehe andere Bewertungen). Nächstes Mal würden wir ein anders Zimmer wählen, um etwas mehr Ruhe vom Fluss zu haben. Insgesamt würden wir die Casa Del Rio sehr empfehlen uns auch wiederkommen.

Casa Del Rio is truly amazing. We stayed in the Remanso del Rio on the property and were very happy with our stay. The entire property is beautiful and well maintained. You will fall in love with the sound of water as it lulls you to sleep. This place is perfect for a small family and I highly recommend you book this place while visiting Arenal / La Fortuna.

Cute hidden gem! Close to nature and open concept. We had a nice stay.

Casa Del Rio is truly amazing. We stayed in the Remanso del Rio on the property and we were really blown away. From the outside all you see is a white wall and and a big black gate. At first I wasn’t sure about my Airbnb pick. Then the gate opened to paradise. The property is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. The bedrooms both had nice cold air conditioning and the kitchen and sitting area was open air and was nice to sit and talk about the days experiences. You feel like you are staying in nature. This place is perfect for a small family.

Amazing place ! Very clean and comfortable. Pictures do not do it justice !

Remanso del Rio was a perfect spot for my family and I to explore La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano area from! One of the property conceirges, Justin, was easy to get ahold of and happy to help with any issues that came up. The property itself is absolutely stunning, with a river running alongside the boarder. From our villa, we could hear the river running last, and sounds of the rainforest. The open air common living space was lovely, although unfortunately we were informed on arrival that the jacuzzi was not working. I see looking back now that this has been a problem for guests as far back as September, and am disappointed this wasn't communicated to me prior to arrival. There is however, a communal pool and hot tub close by on the property that my family enjoyed using. The beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of space to spend together as a family in the main living space. A quick, 5 minute drive into the main town of La Fortuna, about 15-20 minutes drive to the thermal spas on the other side of town. Overall, my family loved staying here and exploring the beauty of this area of Costa Rica, thanks very much to our hosts!

This place is everything you could imagine it to be. The staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. Convenient location and they were able to offer recommendations as needed. The communication was excellent. We will definitely recommend and stay here again if we are in the area!

Casa Del Rio is a oasis. The river from the waterfall flows through the property and now I can’t sleep without that sound. I got spoiled. The property has a huge pool, small pool, a water slide, jacuzzi, and spa. It’s very secure and private. Its about a 5 min drive or 15 min walk to downtown. The house is incredible. The bedrooms are huge! The kitchen is incredible. I can’t express how much I loved this property. Felicia was super helpful with all my questions and requests. She made sure I was comfortable and made sure I was having a positive experience. Angel also helped me so much with local information. This area is extremely safe, clean, and did I mention beautiful? I highly recommend Casa Del Rio. I will 100% come back in the future!

The most magical place ever! This was one of our most favorite homes and places we have ever been to. It is truly magical. The location is perfect and central to all activities, parks, and the town. Felecia was helpful and quick to answer all questions - great communications! Justin was wonderful welcoming us to the property, giving us a tour, and even gave us some fresh eggs for breakfast! Once the gate opens to the property, you are transformed into a completely contained paradise. There's a hot tube and super fast water slide, and even a basketball court and pingpong table. It's completely gated and very safe! The property is filled with beautiful flowers, plants, and is very well maintained. This specific home was beautiful with a complete outdoor living area (roof and no walls) and two great sized, fully enclosed bedrooms. If that's not "your thing" you may want to stay at one of the fully enclosed homes. The open air living space was great for us. I really can't say enough wonderful things about this place, and I can't wait to come back for another visit!

Stunning grounds, helpful staff, relaxing, perfect for couples, waterslide for kids.

We never received towels as requested. Had to use the same towel for 3 days. We also came home to workers fixing our hot tub (to get ready for the next guest's. Not even us), with no notice that people would be in our room without us. Location much further from town/ activities than expected. Staff unable to provide resources for transportation and activities.

Property was beautiful and well done Amazing spot. We arrived to a broken hot tub which we were informed about prior to arrival but we were already booked and were not informed upfront when booking. The hot tub looked like it was broken for months And not like it just broke recently as the hoist Felicia informed us. On arrival I asked her about it and she stated she would look at a partial refund or discount. But when we followed up with her several times via Air B and B messaging she just chose to ignore us. We also arrived to a broken ceiling fan in our room. It got replaced by awesome maintenance staff but we had to wait for repairs and this could have been done to ready the room prior to our arrival as well. Both rooms in our amazingly located unit with smelled very musty which was not idea for sleeping Beautiful property. Very secure Awesome location and other amenities Well kept and pristine Just disappointed about the room/space we rented, along with the hosts poor and lack of communication. Not sure she really appreciated our business !

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. It was an uncommon instance and we’ll do better in the future. Regarding the private jacuzzi, it wasn’t broken when you made the reservation. Also when we informed you about it you could have cancel with a full refund. Also we made sure you were aware that there was a jacuzzi and two pools for you guys to use. You decided to request a partial refund on your second day. You were not ignored we just declined that refund. You were also disrespectful to our workers and that’s something we do not tolerate! Regarding the fan we had guest checking out that day and we were not aware the fan was broken. Sometimes in rainy season the humidity in Costa Rica is really high specially in villa that is surrounded by a river.

Very unique location. Kind of Bali style with the open air concept. Love hearing the sounds rain hitting the talapia pond on one side and the river on the other. Highly recommend, even in off season (we stayed early November).

Great place - nicely away from everything. We loved the sound of the river during the night.

We stayed here as a family group of 4 adults. Great communication with owner Felicia and easy personal check in from ground staff. Lovely rooms and king beds and one has ensuite bathroom with another shower, basin and toilet at entrance for the second bedroom. Great jacuzzi and water slide and large lovely clean pool area in beautiful gardens with loungers/ chairs on premises and awesome communal areas. Close to supermarket and waterfall and the town of La Fortuna . There is a fast flowing river alongside the property and this could affect your noise level if you wanting some quiet. Well equipped with essentials but missing was a toaster and blender. Would highly recommend this villa .

Great place only downside is the personal hot tub was not working during our stay but the staff was nice enough to extend the public hot tub hours just for us which was great. Close enough to town but far enough for privacy and quiet
