Beautiful property with an otherworldly view of Arenal Volcano.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Curtis! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the villa and those unforgettable views of Arenal Volcano. It's always wonderful to know our guests had a memorable experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Arenal for another amazing stay in the future. Ana Gretel

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with future guests. It was truly a pleasure hosting you both, and we’re delighted to know you enjoyed the villa, the pool, the volcano views, and our location. We’re especially happy that our recommendations and daily communication helped make your stay even more memorable. Thank you once again for your kind words and recommendation. We would be honored to welcome you back anytime you’re in La Fortuna! Warm regards, Ana Gretel

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.

Dear Armond, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable stay and that you loved the villa and the incredible views of the Arenal Volcano. It’s wonderful to know that the property was a great fit for your family. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the temporary construction on the neighboring property. We’re glad it had very little impact on your experience and that you were able to fully enjoy your excursions and time at the villa. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. 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

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

Great stay, close to everything,  would definitely stay here again. Thanks for making our stay enjoyable.

Dear Tionna, Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the location convenient for exploring the area. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words. We would be more than happy to welcome you back anytime. Regards, Ana Gretel

This was a nice Airbnb, a bit smaller in person but nonetheless a nice place. The host was very prompt with their responses which I appreciated. We also had the add on chef service was a really nice experience :)

Dear Susan, Thank you very much for your kind review and for staying with us. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the villa and appreciated our communication and responsiveness throughout your stay. We also love hearing that the private chef experience was a special part of your visit. We appreciate your feedback regarding the size as well. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable, well-designed space that matches the listing description and photos as accurately as possible. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back again 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.

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. We also truly appreciate your suggestion regarding lighting by the keypad—this is very helpful, and we will review it with our team to improve the arrival experience for future guests. 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.

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

Dear Yami, Thank you so much for your message. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your stay with us. We would love to welcome you back anytime. Regards, Ana Gretel

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.

Dear Todd, Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the house and its location, and that everything worked well for your stay. It’s great to know the kids loved the pool and that our team was able to assist you whenever needed. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and it was a pleasure hosting you. We would love to welcome you back anytime. Regards, Ana Gretel

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.

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

Excellent property with an amazing view! The hosts were very responsive and helpful to questions.

Dear Blaire, Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the property and those amazing views, and that our team was helpful and responsive throughout your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love 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.

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!

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

The house was great and exactly as described. It worked really well for our big group. The pool was warm and the views were amazing. We had a wonderful stay.

Dear Bridgit, Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that the house was just as you expected and that it worked well for your group. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the warm pool and the beautiful views during your stay. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we would be happy to welcome you back anytime you return to Arenal. Warm regards, Ana Gretel

Beautiful house; we felt very safe there. Coffee shop and small grocery store a few minutes walk away. Convenient to town and attractions.

Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the house and felt safe during your stay. It’s also wonderful that the nearby coffee shop, grocery store, and convenient location helped make your visit even more enjoyable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Warm regards, Ana Gretel

Overall, we were very happy with this property. Everything was new, and clean, and the view was beautiful. We did have a few problems with hot water after a number of showers and we thought the front door was hard to open. The host was very responsive when we contacted her about these issues.  Would definitely return.

Dear Cathy, Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, the beautiful views, and the overall comfort of the property. We also appreciate you mentioning the issues with the hot water and front door, and we’re glad we were able to assist you promptly. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will review these points to continue improving the experience for our guests. We truly appreciate your kind words and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Regards, Ana Gretel

Plenty of room for six adults. Home was very clean. Owners did a great job of answering questions and handling issues. Great location very close to all the La Fortuna attractions. We would stay again if back in the area.

Dear James, Thank you very much for your review. We’re glad to hear that the home was comfortable for your group, clean, and well located for exploring La Fortuna. It’s also great to know that our team was able to assist you promptly throughout your stay. We truly appreciate your feedback and would be happy to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area. Regards, Ana Gretel

Beautiful stay with friends with a magnificent view of the Arenal volcano. Many things to do in the area and several suggestions left by the host.

Beau séjour entre ami(es) avec une magnifique vue sur le volcan Arenal. Beaucoup d’activités à faire dans les environs et plusieurs propositions laissées par l’hôte.

Dear Laurie, Merci beaucoup pour votre message. Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous avez passé un beau séjour entre amis et que la vue sur le volcan Arenal ainsi que les nombreuses activités aux alentours ont contribué à votre expérience. Nous sommes également heureux que les suggestions partagées aient été utiles pendant votre séjour. Ce sera un réel plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’un prochain voyage dans la région. Regards, Ana Gretel

Our stay in La Fortuna was great.  The property was beautiful and when the volcano decided to come out from the clouds it was absolutely breathtaking.  The pool was large and an absolute blast, but point of caution that the tile outside the pool and on the second step of the pool do get very slippery.  Everything was clean and the property always felt very secure and private.  Our hosts were very responsive with any questions.  We also really loved the ability to walk to the Coffee Time shop for breakfast or ice cream during the day - it was great.  La Fortuna is beautiful and this house is nicely situated close to everything but far enough from the main drag for some peace and quiet.  We recommend this house wholeheartedly!

Dear Dane, Thank you very much for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re truly happy to hear that you had a great stay and were able to enjoy the beauty of La Fortuna, especially those special moments when the volcano revealed itself. It’s wonderful to know the pool, privacy, cleanliness, and overall location all contributed positively to your experience. We also appreciate you mentioning the convenience of walking to Coffee Time and your kind note about our responsiveness. Your feedback is sincerely valued, and we’re grateful for your recommendation. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back anytime you return to the area. Regards, Ana Gretel

This home was absolutely stunning-we loved everything about it. Although we had a small hiccup at the beginning, the host was quick to rectify the issue, which we truly appreciated. The views of the Arenal Volcano were breathtaking and made the stay extra special. The heated pool with jets and colorful lights was a wonderful touch and perfect for relaxing. We felt very safe during our stay and especially loved the automatic door, which added an extra level of security and peace of mind. We can’t say enough great things about this beautiful home and would highly recommend it.

Dear Melissa, Thank you very much for your thoughtful and kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you loved the home and that the views, pool, and overall comfort made your stay so special. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the initial hiccup and are glad we were able to resolve it quickly. It truly means a lot to know you felt safe and well cared for during your visit. Thank you for the recommendation, and it would be a pleasure to welcome you back again in the future. Warm regards, Ana Gretel

Amazing place to stay and wonderful hosts! The view of the volcano is unreal and the listing is as described. The home is modern, beautiful, clean, and in a great location.  We loved the outdoor amenities- so fun to have a private heated pool! Diego was extremely responsive and helpful in getting us set up with dinner reservations and fun excursions. If you’re planning a trip to La Fortuna, this is the place to stay!

Dear Misty, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. I’m truly happy to hear you enjoyed the villa, the unreal volcano views, and the outdoor amenities — having a private heated pool really does make the experience special. It’s great to know the home met your expectations in terms of design, cleanliness, and location. I’m also glad I could help with dinner reservations and excursions to make your trip even more enjoyable. Thank you very much for your recommendation, and it would be a pleasure to welcome you back anytime you return to La Fortuna. Warm regards, Ana Gretel

A unique, elegant, modern, spacious and cozy Airbnb, and the most valuable thing is that it's quiet, the ideal place to rest away from the city.

Un airbnb único en su clase, elegante, moderno, espacioso y acogedor y los más valioso silencioso, el lugar ideal p descansar lejos de la ciudad.

Dear Vivien, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I’m truly glad to hear you found the Airbnb unique, elegant, modern, spacious, and especially peaceful. It’s wonderful to know it provided the perfect place to rest and disconnect away from the city. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back. Warm regards, Ana Gretel

This property is beautiful and perfectly located for volcano views—you can see it clearly from the house, even from the bedrooms. It’s about a 10-minute drive to downtown La Fortuna, close to restaurants and major attractions, yet still very private. The home is gated, secure, and well designed, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, a modern kitchen (no dishwasher), strong AC, blackout drapes, and plenty of natural light from the large windows. There’s also a pool, and someone even came by to clean it during our stay. The concierge team was incredibly responsive; whenever something came up due to heavy rain—like a brief power or water-pressure issue—someone arrived almost immediately. We also had cleaning service twice, plus a washer and dryer, which made the stay even more comfortable. Overall, this property feels better than a hotel: private, spacious, well maintained, and unbeatable for volcano views. Highly recommended.

Dear Komal, Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review. I’m truly delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the property — especially the privacy, the design, and those incredible volcano views right from the bedrooms and living spaces. It’s wonderful to know the location worked perfectly for your trip, close to town and attractions yet still peaceful and secure. I’m glad the amenities made your stay comfortable, from the pool and modern kitchen to the strong AC, blackout drapes, and natural light. Thank you as well for mentioning our team’s responsiveness — we really appreciate your patience during the brief weather-related issues, and I’m happy we were able to resolve everything quickly for you. Your comments about the cleaning service, pool maintenance, and laundry access mean a lot, and I’m thrilled the villa felt even better than a hotel for your stay. Thank you sincerely for the recommendation. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back anytime. Warm regards, Ana Gretel & Diego

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful, private, relaxing home. Not only is it a gorgeous view of Arenal volcano, it has many other features we loved, like the open doors out to the patio and pool, the private gate closing everything in, waking up early to toucans in the tree and the phenomenal sunrises/sunsets. They were super helpful, responsive, and gave so many great suggestions as well. I genuinely appreciated their great communication.

Dear Ariana, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear that you loved your stay and enjoyed the home’s peaceful privacy, relaxing atmosphere, and of course the gorgeous volcano views. It’s wonderful that you also appreciated the open design leading to the patio and pool, as well as the extra sense of comfort provided by the private gate. We’re delighted you had the chance to experience special moments like waking up to toucans in the trees and enjoying the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets — those are some of the magical touches we love about this place too. Your kind words about our communication and suggestions mean a lot to us; it’s always our goal to make sure our guests feel supported and cared for throughout their stay. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable visit. Regards, Ana Gretel & Diego

I felt right at home, they always answered any questions quickly. The house is beautiful.

Me sentí como en casa, siempre contestaban rápido a cualquier pregunta. La casa está hermosa.

What an incredible home base for our visit to Arenal and La Fortuna. The view alone is worth every penny. But the home is spectacular too. Well appointed, spotless and comfortable. And the ceiling to floor windows make you feel like you’re outside. And the pool is a perfect touch. Can’t wait to come back.

Dear Christe, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that the villa provided the perfect home base for your Arenal adventure. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the panoramic views, the design and comfort of the home, and of course, the pool! Those floor-to-ceiling windows really do bring the outdoors in. We would absolutely love to host you again—come back anytime! Warmest regards, Ana Gretel, Andrea, Diego & the Casa Arenal Gardenia Team

Beautiful house, 100% recommended, would come again!!

Hermosa casa, 100% recomendado, volvería de nuevo!!

Dear Sigrid, Thank you so much for your comment! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful house and that you recommend us 100%. It will be an honor to welcome you again on your next visit to La Fortuna. We wait for you with open arms! Kind regards, Ana Gretel, Andrea, Diego and the team at Casa Arenal Gardenia

We had a wonderful stay at Ana and Diego's. Diego was an exemplary host: very responsive, caring and always ready to help to make our experience perfect. The house is superb: comfortable, well-equipped and ideally located. The large glass doors create a beautiful continuity between inside and outside, giving a pleasant feeling of space. The view of the volcano is spectacular and, in my opinion, justifies the rental price. Only small downside: the proximity of a neighboring house with black canvas roofs, which I would have liked to see in a photo before booking. Despite this, we highly recommend this house and warmly thank Diego for his exceptional hospitality.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour chez Ana et Diego. Diego a été un hôte exemplaire : très réactif, attentionné et toujours prêt à aider pour rendre notre expérience parfaite. La maison est superbe : confortable, bien équipée et idéalement située. Les grandes portes vitrées créent une belle continuité entre intérieur et extérieur, donnant une agréable sensation d’espace. La vue sur le volcan est spectaculaire et, à elle seule, justifie le prix de la location selon moi. Seul petit bémol : la proximité d’une maison voisine avec des toits en toile noire, que j’aurais aimé voir en photo avant de réserver. Malgré cela, nous recommandons vivement cette maison et remercions chaleureusement Diego pour son accueil exceptionnel.

Dear Valerie, A big thank you for your warm and detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that your stay was wonderful and that the comfort of the house, its complete equipment, as well as its ideal location contributed to making your visit so enjoyable. We're glad you enjoyed the spectacular view of the volcano, as well as the fluidity between the interior and exterior offered by the large bay windows — this connection with nature is exactly what we want to offer our guests. And thank you too for your comment about the visual proximity of the neighboring accommodation. This type of feedback is valuable to us, as it helps us improve the transparency of our presentations and refine the experience we offer. Thank you for your warm recommendation, and for highlighting Diego's professionalism and kindness — it's a real pleasure for him to support each guest with care and availability. With gratitude, Ana, Andrea, Diego and the Arenal Heights Villas team

I could live there. I would never get tired of the view.  The house was fabulous! Also there is an excellent restaurant in short walking distance. “Raul Castanos”

Dear Lisa, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you loved the villa so much you could see yourself living there—we don’t blame you, that volcano view never gets old! We’re glad you enjoyed the fabulous home and discovered Raul Castaño’s, one of our favorite local spots as well. We’d love to welcome you back anytime to soak in the view and enjoy more unforgettable moments in La Fortuna! Best regards, Ana, Andrea, Diego, and the Casa Arenal Gardenia Team

While the property itself is amazing the pristine views from the photos are spoiled by the presence of a makeshift home directly next door. I’m sure it’s hard to control who moves in but it is equally difficult to market yourself as a luxury vacation home with a corrugated metal structure directly next door. While the gentlemen living there kept to themselves we didn’t expect to see people walking around shirtless or doing their laundry, nor did we expect to hear them showering in the adjacent bathroom. In all this shadowed the otherwise great visit to the area as it didn’t feel as clean, safe, or elegant as we had hoped. Given the higher price point we paid for this location we expected a different experience and were a bit disappointed by the situation.

Dear David, Thank you very much for sharing your honest feedback with us. We sincerely regret that your experience did not fully meet your expectations, especially considering the importance we place on offering a peaceful and elegant environment to all our guests. We understand your concerns regarding the neighboring structure and the impact it had on your stay. Please know that we are already taking active steps to improve this situation. We are in the process of enhancing the perimeter fencing to better preserve the views and ensure greater privacy. Additionally, we have spoken directly with the neighbor, who is currently working on improvements to their property. They have agreed to extend the roof of their warehouse, which will significantly help block the view of the construction area and reduce any disturbances moving forward. We truly appreciate your feedback—it helps us continue to grow and provide the best possible experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and show you the positive changes we've made. Warm regards, Diego & Ana Casa Arenal Gardenia

We had a great visit to the La Fortuna area and this was a great spot for us. Close enough to town but also a peaceful, quiet base away from the action. Some food and coffee options nearby, too. Convenient to the hot springs, hanging bridges, Arenal and El Silencio. The house and grounds are beautiful, with views of the volcano from every room. Very nice pool and patio. Some development still in progress in the neighborhood but it didn't bother us. Hosts are accessible and very helpful with any needs including itinerary recommendations. Thanks for everything!

Dear Lincoln, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that our villa was the perfect peaceful base for exploring La Fortuna and nearby highlights like the hot springs, hanging bridges, Arenal, and El Silencio. It’s great to know you enjoyed the beautiful home and grounds, the volcano views from every room, and the relaxing pool and patio. We appreciate your understanding regarding the ongoing neighborhood development and are glad it didn’t impact your stay.

Incredible view of the volcano from the patio. Very spacious and clean. Very good communication from the host and the concierge

Dear Claire, Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the incredible volcano views from the patio, as well as the spacious and clean accommodations. We also appreciate your feedback on our communication and concierge service—we always strive to provide a seamless experience. We’d love to welcome you back for another great stay in La Fortuna! Best regards, Andrea, Diego, and the Casa Arenal Gardenia staff

This is a beautiful home to stay in with a perfect location!! You are CLOSE to all of the best attractions - hot springs, Arenal 1968 trail, ziplining, etc. Andrea helped us with the most ideal itinerary. Every activity they chose had the best tour guides and nothing was far from our home. Canyoning & ATVs we could walk directly from Arenal Heights. There are also several great restaurants in close proximity to the home- we loved Raul Costano & Soda Arenal! The home itself seems to be one of the nicest in the area. Our volcano view was spectacular!! We were trying to decide with our bigger family between a resort or this home, & so glad we ended up here because it really gave us the opportunity to spread out. If you are looking for complete privacy, the home itself is not very private at all, despite the gate. Behind the back wall is a large shack that several workers live in. You can see all of there daily activities and it made us feel uncomfortable,we wish we would have known

Dear Samantha, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the location ideal for exploring the best of La Fortuna—hot springs, Arenal 1968, ziplining, canyoning, and ATVs all nearby, many even within walking distance. We're also glad Andrea could help craft the perfect itinerary and that you enjoyed the local restaurant recommendations as well! We’re honored that you felt the home was one of the nicest in the area, and that the volcano views and space made it a great choice for your family over a resort. We also sincerely appreciate your honest feedback regarding the lack of privacy and how the visibility of nearby living quarters affected your comfort. We understand how important that feeling of privacy is, and we’re already looking into options to improve this aspect for future guests. Thank you again for choosing Arenal Heights Villas—we’d love to have the opportunity to welcome you back with an even better experience. Warm regards, Ana Gretel, Andrea, Diego Casa Arenal Gardenia

Excellent with an unbeatable view of the volcano.  Very comfortable rooms and common areas.  A few things were missing in terms of cleanliness. However, excellent for large groups.

Excelente con una vista al volcán insuperable.  Muy cómodo las habitaciones y los lugares de comunes.  Faltó unos detalles en limpieza. Sin embargo excelente para grupos grandes.
