Villa Mano de Tigre, A Volcano in your Garden! - Villas for Rent in La Fortuna, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

We had a lovely stay at Villa Mano de Tigre. The villa was spotlessly clean and is in a wonderfully quiet location, yet close to La Fortuna and all kinds of fun activities and sights. A huge plus is that you can use the hot springs of Los Lagos. A wonderful extra during your stay. The location and the views must be fantastic, but unfortunately we only had fog and rain. A good reason to come back again and hopefully then enjoy the view 😃

We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad bij Villa Mano de Tigre. De villa was smetteloos schoon en ligt heerlijk rustig, maar toch dichtbij La Fortuna en allerlei leuke activiteiten en bezienswaardigheden. Een enorme plus is dat je gebruik mag maken van de warmwaterbronnen van Los Lagos. Een heerlijk extraatje tijdens je verblijf. De ligging en het uitzicht moeten fantastisch zijn, maar helaas hadden wij alleen mist en regen. Een goede reden om nog een keer terug te komen en hopelijk dan wél van het uitzicht te genieten 😃

View was amazing. Everything was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed. You def need a car to stay here though.

Our second time visiting Villas Jawara and we loved this villa even more than the first one. Absolutely beautiful and spacious and the amenities at Los Lagos make this the perfect choice for a family!

We had an amazing stay! The views and location were absolutely incredible and made this one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring—it was the perfect way to unwind while taking in the beautiful scenery. The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was the perfect base for visiting La Fortuna’s waterfalls, hot springs, restaurants, and other attractions. Santiago was an outstanding host—friendly, responsive, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting La Fortuna!

The  place is great . Santiago is amazing . Book it if you can

Santiago is an amazing host who was always quick to respond. The villa is the most beautiful airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. We booked all our activities and drivers through Santiago which made the trip even better! I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Property is great. Beautiful and well maintained. Santiago is a fantastic host. Communicated proactively and was super responsive to questions.  You can tell he really wants guests to have a great experience.

Villas Jawara was the best place we have stayed at in La Fortuna. You can't beat the views. Incredible stay, cant wait to come again!

highly recommend Villas Jawara! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and our stay was amazing. A special thank you to Santiago. My daughter described him as “the coolest guy!” He was always there to help us with anything we needed. He even drove us to the restaurant twice when our driver hadn’t arrived yet. His kindness and hospitality made our stay even more memorable. Thank you for making our vacation so special!

Absolutely a dream! The view of the volcano in your backyard is beautiful! The house is spotless, You have access to the hotel amenities that was a plus. Santiago is helpful, friendly and available.  We will definitely be back ! Book your reservation!

The location of the villa is stunning. Beautiful decorations and lush gardens. We loved the pool and the sitting areas. Would definitely stay here again.

Incredible place to stay in La Fortuna. The views can’t be beat. The villas are literally at the base of the volcano and it’s spectacular.

Such an amazing property. VERY RESPONSIVE HOST . Anything we needed he was of great assistance. I definitely recommend this property.

Villa Mano de Tigre was amazing. The views were like no other and the home was spacious and clean. Even came with a wrist band for daily visits to the on property hot springs at Los Lagos. Santiago was very helpful and answered all our questions in a timely manner. Definitely would stay next time we visit

The place is amazing. Everything was perfect. Very quiet and relaxed, perfect for enjoying nature and the view of the volcano.

El lugar es increíble todo estuvo perfecto muy tranquilo y relajado perfecto para disfrutar de la naturaleza y la vista al volcan

This place exceeded my expectations. The cleanliness of this place was incredible the volcanoe view was astonishing make sure you book atleast 3 days or more so you have a better chance of seeing the volcanoe as it gets really cloudy but seriously my favorite Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. A real 5 star place to stay

This was easily one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed at. The villa was enormous and could easily accommodate a large group! The jacuzzi pool was very relaxing at the end of each day with an amazing view of the volcano. We were just a short 10-15 minute drive away from great restaurants in La Fortuna but had all the peace and quiet we needed. Santiago was very helpful and communicative, booking multiple tours and activities for us. I’d absolutely recommend this place and would love to return.

Santiago was a very kind, polite, and welcoming host. He met us warmly, showed us everything, and was always very responsive and helpful during our stay. The house is wonderful, and on clear days the view of the volcano is absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

Excellent hospitality by Santiago, he answered very soon all our questions, he was always very kind and helpful person.

An amazing place, right in front of the volcano. Although we had cloudy days, we were able to see part of the volcano and be surrounded by nature. Super easy to get to, and Santiago was available the whole time. We booked two tours with him, and they were amazing. They picked us up and made everything very easy. I'll definitely come back.

Un lugar increíble, justo frente al volcán. Aunque nos tocaron días nublados, pudimos ver parte del volcán y estar rodeadas de naturaleza. Super fácil llegar y Santiago estuvo al pendiente todo el tiempo. Contratamos dos tours con él y estuvieron increíbles. Pasaron por nosotros e hicieron todo muy fácil. Definitivamente voy a volver.

The villa was better than expected. The access to the hot springs was an unexpected bonus. Total privacy at the villa with resort benefits. A win, win.

Wow - gorgeous house and view! It's incredibly spacious and you even get access to the nearby resort! Be sure to keep the doors shut, as there is jungle life in the area. Santiago is very welcoming, friendly, and happy to help with anything!

This is a lovely place to stay in La Fortuna. It’s affiliated with the Las Lagos resort and my kids loved the pool time at the resort in addition to the quiet and peaceful surroundings at the villa. A perfect mix!

Stayed here with my family and our dog, incredible views of the volcano the house came with everything we needed

House was absolutely beautiful- a slice of paradise with amazing views of the volcano, lush landscaping, a large hot tub, and use of Los Lagos hot springs included. Place exceeded expectations.

From our initial contact with Santiago, we found him very friendly, easy to work with, exceeding helpful and one of the best hosts we used.  He made  great dinning and tour recommendations for us and followed up with reservations for what we decided to book.  Everything involved with accommodations, from initial planning of our 8 days in La Fortuna through checkout from Santiago's beautiful house, Mano De Tigre, far exceeded our expectations.  His house was a perfect fit for us.  The house itself is spectacular and has fabulous views of the valley and volcano.  The intangible value added for us was the location of the house.  The property offered wonderful privacy and quiet yet we had access to everything at Los Lagos Resort just down the hill and then the town only a few miles away.  I'd recommend having a car if staying here.   I give Santiago and his property my highest recommendation without reservation.  Spectacular job Santiago!  Until next time, Pura Vida!!

The villa was fantastic, we had 2 amazing nights. We had called a chef recommended by Santiago the first night, which was perfect after our long day. Everything was perfect, the place where the villa is located allows you to have access to hot springs which is a real plus. And the view is breathtaking

La villa était fantastique, nous avons passé 2 nuits incroyables. Nous avions fait appel à un chef recommandé par Santiago le premier soir , ce qui était parfait après notre longue journée. Tout était parfait, le lieu où la villa se situe vous permet d’avoir accès à des sources chaudes ce qui est un vrai plus. Et la vue est à couper le souffle

Hi Mag!! Thank you so much for sharing your comments with everyone. It was a pleasure to have you in our little piece of land in Costa Rica

Absolutely amazing! Santiago was so friendly and beyond helpful with providing recommendations for activities and making sure we got directions to get there. Fabio helped guide us to certain activities to ensure we knew the way:) The villa itself is gorgeous I wish we could’ve stayed longer. I highly recommend this place and the amazing staff made the experience better than i thought possible!!

Hello Annabelle!! Thanks for sharing your review, pura vida!! 😊 It's been a pleasure being a part of your trip in Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Santiago was a great host and this villa is in a fantastic location!!  We were extremely happy with the villa and the surroundings.  When we arrived, it was nighttime and the visibility was greatly limited, but Santiago escorted us up the hill to the villa, and if he hadn't we might not have made it!  haha.  The villa was clean and spacious and had an amazing view and a private hot tub that overlooked the beautiful yard and volcano.  We loved everything about our stay here and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great location and a well kept villa.  Pura Vida!!

The villa was perfect. We accessed the Hot Springs on property and they are a must do! Skip all the other hot springs in area and enjoy!

Hi Susan, thanks for your review, pura vida!!

Wow wow wow!! This place was even more impressive in person. It was an absolute dream to stay here and our family had some of the best nights of sleep of our lives. So peaceful and serene. A perfect tropical paradise. Thank you Santiago!

Hola Danielle! Pura vida!! :D Thanks for your review 🥰

Amazing place. Could not recommend more. We originally picked this place due to the volcanic view however due to the fog we were note able to see it. That being said this place was beyond our expectations. It was clean, safe and gated, and had a jacuzzi to relax in after a long day of exploring. The location was perfect, the house had everything you’d need and we felt right at home. Santiago is a 10/10 host and is super helpful and is there for any need.

Hello Anthony! Thanks for sharing it with everyone, loved having you with us!! :D

The house is great (even better that what we have seen before from the pictures, kitchen with everything needed, no dish washer; 2 big bedrooms; the swimming pool/jacuzzi is fantastic), location is peaceful and close to La Fortuna and the Volcano at the same time. We truly think the view is fantastic even if fog was part of our 3-day stay. Santiago was really helpful during our stay. We appreciated the dryer especially because the humidity was really high, a heater would have been great. Thanks for the stay and happy to come back one day.

Amazing views and a very special setting! The accommodation is as shown in the photos: very nice, well maintained and with a spectacular view of the Arenal Volcano, really impressive. The environment is quiet and safe, ideal for resting and enjoying nature. The villa is comfortable, clean and functional. A great attraction of the place is the large hot water jacuzzi (practically like a pool), perfect to relax and enjoy the surroundings. In addition, the accommodation is located within a complex with a hotel, and the host provides access wristbands to the facilities and hot springs, which adds extra value to the experience, even if they are not used during the stay. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and it is a place that we recommend for its views, tranquility and concept.

Vistas increíbles y entorno muy especial! El alojamiento es tal como se muestra en las fotos: muy bonito, bien cuidado y con una vista espectacular al Volcán Arenal, realmente impresionante. El entorno es tranquilo y seguro, ideal para descansar y disfrutar de la naturaleza. La villa es cómoda, limpia y funcional. Un gran atractivo del lugar es el jacuzzi de agua caliente, de gran tamaño (prácticamente como una alberca), perfecto para relajarse y disfrutar del entorno. Además, el alojamiento se encuentra dentro de un complejo con hotel, y el anfitrión proporciona pulseras de acceso a las instalaciones y a las aguas termales, lo cual agrega un valor extra a la experiencia, incluso si no se utilizan durante la estancia. En general, fue una experiencia muy agradable y es un lugar que recomendamos por sus vistas, tranquilidad y concepto.

Hi Karina!!! I'm super happy you had a nice stay with us 🥰 It fills my heart to know that you have rested and enjoyed the surrounding nature! Your feedback helps us move forward and always offer the best service to our customers!! Pure life! 🌋🇨🇷

We loved this place. It’s super clean and has very nice furnishings. The separate patio spaces were awesome, especially because it was a bit rainy/foggy most of the time we were there so the nice covered outdoor spaces gave us the ability to still hang out outside most of the time. There are lots of cool birds around the villa that were fun to watch and listen to. Highly recommend.

Hola Brock! We appreciate you took the time to leave a review for us!! Pura vida! 🥰 Loved having you with us! !

Hi Philip!! Pura vida! Thanks for your review! 🌋🇨🇷

Incredible views, spacious, clean, cozy, big hot tub, great host who is helpful with booking local attractions, so many wonderful things to say about this place. Best Airbnb ever!

Hi Tyler!! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with everyone! It was a pleasure to welcome you with us! These comments motivate us to always offer top-quality service and make sure our customers have the best experience in the La Fortuna area, pura vida!! 🌋❤️

Our stay was wonderful.  The location was great and we loved having access to the hot springs. We didn’t think we’d use the hot tub but we were surprised it was much cooler due to elevation ans cloud cover so it was so nice to use it! It was spacious, peaceful and close to everything. Santiago also helped us arrange massages at the Villa. Thank you for a great stay!

Santiago’s place was breathtaking beautiful place! We traveled as two couples, it was perfect. I would 100% recommend. The wristbands to the hotel springs and restaurants were perfect. Thank you for hosting!

We enjoyed our stay at Mano de Tigre. The amenities at Los Lagos were great. The house was clean and comfortable with a great view of Arenal. We were close to town as well. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub. Santiago was great to deal with snd always responsive. We had a great vacation.

Loved having you with us Lisa!! Pura vida! 😊

Santiagos place was magical! The Los Lagos resort at the base of the mountain is a total bonus on top of having a private villa. we had an amazing time!

Hi Sean! Thanks for your review, it's a pleasure for me having you with us! Pura vida!!

Easily the most amazing airbnb we have ever stayed in. The volcano feels like it’s on the back doorstep. We made good use of all the facilities including the hot tub and the fire pit, plus the hot springs at Los Lagos was a lovely inclusion. The place is actually within the Los Lagos complex at a private end called the Jawara Villas (it’s a short 2min drive down to Los Lagos) and the entrance is via Los Lagos making it incredibly safe and also very private. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to La Fortuna.

Hello Natalie!! It fills me with happiness to know that you had an amazing time with us! What a pleasure having been part of your memories in Costa Rica!! Thanks for describing the place! 😊🇨🇷

Beautiful, modern house in a great location. Very helpful host. Lots of towels. Lovely volcano view with plenty of outdoor seating. Loved our stay!

Hello Karen!! Pura vida! 😊 Loved having you with us!

Super house. Fantastic location. The house was like new. The hot tub was a dream to be in. Really a great place to stay and Santiago was a great host. Always responsive and helped us with everything. Absolutely recommended! Thanks again!!

Super Haus. Traumhafte Lage. Das Haus war wie neu. Der Whirlpool war ein Traum. Wirklich eine top Unterkunft und Santiago war ein toller Gastgeber. Immer ansprechbar und hat uns bei Allem weitergeholfen. Absolut weiter zu empfehlen! Danke nochmal!!

Hi Lutz! It's been a pleasure having you here! Your feedback helps us maintain a high-quality service and improve every day. Thanks and pura vida!! 😊🇨🇷

Amazing views,  well kept place, quiet and amazing hot tub

Hello Rajneesh! Loved having you with us, pura vida!! That hot tub is amazing 😮‍💨🇨🇷

We absolutely loved the home, the location, and Santiago’s hospitality. Right after we booked this villa and on until checkout we were kept constantly updated by Santiago which made for an entirely seamless experience. The location is spectacular - nothing beats viewing the majesty of an active volcano right from your backyard. The viewpoint up the hill is worth a visit and the hot springs at Los Lagos are the icing on the cake. The home itself is very well appointed with wonderful views from every room. We loved our stay and are already planning a return visit! Thank you for sharing your Villa with us!

Hello Damodar!! Pura vida, we really appreciatte your comments, Im super happy to know that you enjoyed and could have rest here!! 😊

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The view was absolutely beautiful, and the home itself was modern, clean, and very comfortable. Santiago was an outstanding host. He was extremely attentive and responsive throughout our stay. He went above and beyond by helping us book both our zip-lining adventure and a chocolate and coffee tour, which made planning our activities effortless. We also loved having access to the resort amenities while still enjoying the privacy of our own space. It was the perfect balance, and we would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Hello Brittany! What a pleasure to have you with us!! Pura vida!! 😊🇨🇷

The villa is beautiful. Unfortunately we did not have luck on our side in terms of weather so was not able to see the Volcano. Jacuzzi was great after a long day of hiking. Very much would recommend!

Hello Kyle! Pura vida! :D Thanks for sharing you review with everyone!! Pura vida 😊

It was a wonderful stay. The highlights are 1. Beautiful place. 2. Wonderful house with all the necessary amenities for cooking and relaxing. 3. Super clean Would love to visit again for sure.

Hey Madhan!! Pura vida! You will be welcome back at anytime, your comments help us a lot and we appreciatte every second our guests take to leave a review that describes your experience with us! :D

This is our second stay and we couldn't be happier! The views are amazing, the house is clean and has everything we could want or need. We love the access to the hot springs at the resort. We will stay here again on our next trip!

Hey Roger! Pura vida! 🇨🇷 Thanks for sharing your comments!!

This is our second time staying at Santiago's properties and once again the experience was great! This home was one of the cleanest Airbnb's we have ever stayed at which was much appreciated.

Hello Ross! It's been a pleasure having you again!! Thanks again for choosing us, that make us keep doing our best every time!! Pura vida 😊🇨🇷

This place is even more beautiful in person. By far the best airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. It is incredibly clean, has everything you need, and has the most beautiful view of the volcano. The hot tub was such a nice bonus, and the free access to Los Lagos hot springs was so nice as well. Santiago was super helpful and kind. We highly recommend this place!

Santiago was such a helpful host! The space itself is incredible and even better than pictures. A must.

We had a few wonderful days in this villa! It's very conveniently located—right at the foot of the volcano, next to thermal springs. But at the same time, it gives an impression of complete seclusion! Definitely recommend this villa, it's made with love 😍 The owner, Santiago, was extremely welcoming and friendly! Thank you for your warm hospitality! We fell in love with Costa Rica's nature 💛

If you want to stay at a private home and see Arenal, stay here! This place was so beautiful, inside and out. It’s in a gated community up the hill from a hotel, which made me feel so safe. I loved hearing the rain in the metal roof. The spa was perfect and so serene with all of the plants they have on the patio. Everything was great! We had a little hiccup with our travel getting to Costa Rica and Santiago was very understanding as we kept communicating with him and updating him. He was so responsive!

Hello Bonnie! Hearing that you enjoyed the rain and security of the Villa is music for me! I'm super happy to have you staying with us and will definitely be a pleasure to have you here at anytime, pura vida!!

The location has an amazing view of the Arenal volcano. A private and peaceful location with beautiful surroundings. Very spacious and clean stay. Santiago is very responsive and helpful with recommendations.

The place was great, it had a fantastic view of the volcano! Everything was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We would come back anytime in a heartbeat!

Die Unterkunft war großartig, sie hatte einen traumhaften Blick auf den Vulkan! Es war alles sauber und die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Wir würden jederzeit sofort wiederkommen!

Highly recommended in La Fortuna! The villa is beautiful! Spacious, very complete, incredible view of the volcano, you are super close and you have it right in front of you! The rooms are huge, very comfortable beds, carefully decorated and with very nice taste! You have your own Jacuzzi in front of the volcano where we live sunny mornings and also impressive storms views from a safe place. Really very happy with the accommodation. Santiago is super responsive, he responds quickly, he sent us local recommendations from day 1, which was very helpful for the stay. The villa is located on the grounds of the Los Lagos hotel and we had access to its facilities, which we could also enjoy, both the hot springs and the cold pools for hot days! I recommend a vehicle as the road from the entrance to the hotel is long and uphill. We had already been to La Fortuna, but we loved this place!

Ultra recomendado en la fortuna! La villa es hermosa! Amplia, muy completa, vista increible al volcán, estás super cerca y lo tenés justo en frente! Las habitaciones son enormes, camas muy cómodas, decoración cuidada y con muy lindo gusto! Tenés tu propio jacuzzi frente al volcán donde vivimos mañanas de sol y también tormentas impresionantes vistas desde un lugar seguro. Realmente muy contentos con el alojamiento. Santiago es super receptivo, responde rápido, nos envió recomendaciones locales desde el día 1, lo cual fue muy útil para la estadía. La villa se encuentra en el predio del hotel los lagos y teníamos acceso a sus instalaciones, las cuales también pudimos disfrutar, tanto las aguas termales, como las piscinas frias para los días de calor! Recomiendo vehículo ya que el camino desde la entrada al hotel es largo y en subida. Ya habíamos estado en la fortuna, pero este alojamiento nos encantó!

Hola Mauricio! Muchas gracias por compartir tus comentarios! En serio me llena de alegría saber que han tenido una estadía espectacular, ha sido un placer recibirte y serás super bienvenido cuando gustes, pura vida!! :D

We had a great stay!  Everything was clean and comfortable. This was such a nice private location in which to enjoy Arenal and surrounding areas.  Santiago was very available and helpful with recommendations, directions, instructions etc.   We would highly recommend this to anyone.

It has been a pleasure to have you with us, thank you very much for the comments and it will be a pleasure to welcome you soon! :D

One of the best air bnb’s I’ve ever stayed in! Santiago was so helpful and would book 100x if I ever came back to La fortuna .

Hey Michael!! Pura vida, it's been a pleasure hosting you, pura vida! Definitely, You're always welcome back!!

We had the most amazing stay. At the most amazing villa. With the most amazing scenery. And the most amazing host. And to use the word “amazing” wouldn’t do it justice. To have a FULL view of the volcano in your own geothermal water-fed jet tub in your backyard and having anytime access to the facilities of Los Lagos Resort just couldn’t be beat. Pura Vida at its finest.

Beautiful and spacious newer modern home located in a lovely quiet community.  The views were spectacular and the property offered very easy access to local restaurants, hot springs and tours in the area.  The free hot springs visit included was a plus.  Santiago was kind and very responsive and easy to work with.  Highly recommend this property.

Truly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at! Super peaceful, quiet, and best part you look out the back and see the magnificent Volcano! My husband is a bit OCD and this place was spotless! We greatly enjoyed our stay and loved everything about it! Highly recommend and we hope to visit again!

great location right in front of Arenal Volcano! Santiago was fast and responsive! Clean and Tidy! Jacuzzi and fire pit was amazing!

An excellent, quiet, extremely clean place. Every detail speaks of the excellence and quality of the place. Definitely 5 stars!! The host is super attentive and communicative.

Un lugar excelente, silencioso, extremadamente limpio. Cada detalle habla de la excelencia y calidad del lugar. Definitivamente 5 estrellas !!. El Host súper atento y comunicativo.

The place was amazing. The best view we had in Costa Rica. The place was really clean, we had access to the hot springs in Los Lagos. Santiago was really nice, we met him while going on a walk with our dog and he was there for us any time we needed it.

We absolutely loved Mano de Tigre. The villa is beautiful and extremely high quality. The space is large and the outdoor area has a border of small bushes, so it is very private. We got excellent views of the volcano and the use of the hot springs was a great bonus. Even with two small kids, we had a relaxing time in the gorgeous setting. Santiago was so friendly and kind and helped us book massages right in the villa. Everything was clean, there were no bugs in the unit. The view is insane — if you have a chance to come to Arenal, I would highly recommend you stay here! Get the privacy of a villa plus the amenities of being right near the Los Lagos resort. Thanks Santiago!!

Hello Amy! I'm super happy to know that you enjoyed your time with us! We're happy to be part of your memories in Costa Rica, pura vida!

Picture-perfect house in a great location. My son actually thanked me for booking!

Santiago is an A+ host and reachable always to make your stay flawless and the location was perfect. Peaceful with everything to satisfy your needs. A+++

This place is amazing . So beautiful and peaceful . When I come back to La Fortuna I will definitely want to stay here . Santiago was great. I couldn’t have asked for more

This villa was like a dream. Everything was so beautiful- the view , the interior and the vibes! Santiago was very easy to communicate and helped us out with several information around the area. They also provided pass to the Los Lagos resort so we could use the hot spring. The only thing I think is important to note is that there is no way to walk to the resort or restaurants since it’s uphill. It is helpful to have a car or use Uber which costs around $6-$7. We would love to come back someday!

Absolutely unforgettable stay! Having a volcano in the backyard was surreal. Breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The home was clean, cozy, and Santiago was a great host.

The villa was absolutely gorgeous and Santiago was extremely friendly and attentive. We found a coral snake in one of the bathrooms and he immediately drove over to help us take care of it. The only issue I had is that the place was infested with cockroaches. Granted when notified, Santiago immediately took action in having someone come over to spray while we were gone, however we were still finding them every night even after being sprayed. I understand to a certain extent that you have to expect some wildlife to show up when you’re literally in the middle of a jungle, however I noticed that there were several ways that the owners of the place could have sealed it up better to reduce the chance of bugs getting in (such as the front door having a large opening on the bottom open to the world as well as there being some cracks in the bathroom ceiling where bugs, snakes, and other critters could enter). If it hadn’t of been for that, I would have given it five stars instead of four.

Hi Megan! How are you? First I want to clarify we definitely don`t have a "cockroaches" Infestation, we have really high cleaning levels at the villas. Even you told me you only saw 4 cockroaches that were possibly scaping the bad weather, as we are in the rainiest season in Costa Rica, the fact that they came inside doesn't mean the place is infested. 1 week prior to your check in date, we fugimated the villa, this is something we always do every 2 month to make sure infestations like this never happens, and that is definitely not an infestation. Thanks again for your review, pura vida! :D Please know this is something we are 100% aware and have been taking the corresponding actions to avoid this animals come a lot since always, even controlled the near by forest grass, but of course, we can't handle what happends in the deep forest and it's animals. Bugs (And not talking only about cockroaches) Are definitely part of the fauna here and Costa Rica, and know that you will definitely have all kind of bugs, are it's our fauna. But please don't confuse saying we have an infestation

Our stay at Villa Mano de Tigre in Villas Jawara was marvelous! The villa and the surroundings were as beautiful as listed, and the view of Volcan Arenal was truly stunning. We made great use of the hot tub and patios to read and relax and worked out in the backyard. Access to the Los Lagos facilities was a great bonus. We spent one afternoon at the pool (incredible water slide!) and hot springs with many different pools and had a few meals at the restaurant and pool bar - great options close to home.  The villa is very conveniently located. It felt like a 10-15 minute drive everywhere: La Fortuna downtown, El Salto, La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal National Park (closer to 20 minutes), and grocery store. The host, Santiago, was fantastic from initial booking through to the duration of our stay! He provided excellent experience recommendations, including in-villa chef and nighttime nature walk. Santiago was super responsive and friendly. Our family of 4 totally loved our stay! Pura vida!

Hello Benjamin!! Thanks a lot for sharing your review with everyone, pura vida!! It's been amazing having you here and having been part of your memories in Costa Rica, pura vida!! 😊

Santiago was proactive in reaching out after booming, offering recommendations, and super fast at responding to questions. We were able to check in early and the access to the resort was fantastic, as was the location generally, with a great view of the volcano top!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at Santiago’s place. The house was BEAUTIFUL with everything you could possibly need. The pictures don’t even do it justice. We LOVED the hot tub. We loved the privacy of the home while also having full access to the resort. Santiago set up all our activities which was incredibly helpful. We will definitely stay here should we ever visit la Fortuna again.

Hello Mary!! Thanks for your review, pura vida!! Loved having you with us 😊

Amazing place at the foot of the volcano! The teenagers took the opportunity to update their profile photos… The places are clean and perfect for a large family or two families. We saw toucans in the trees at the back of the yard with the Arenal just behind! Several birds also in the area and a peccary. Proximity to several activities. Santiago was very responsive and came right away to fix a small problem with the front door. He gave us several references for good restaurants! A place that's worth it!

Endroit incroyable au pied du volcan! Les ados en ont profité pour mettre à jour leurs photos de profil… Les lieux sont propres et parfait pour une famille nombreuse ou deux familles. Nous avons vu des toucans dans les arbres au fond de la cour avec l’Arenal juste derrière! Plusieurs oiseaux aussi dans les environs et un pécari. Proximité de plusieurs activités. Santiago a été très réactif et est venu tout de suite régler un petit problème avec la porte d’entrée. Il nous a donné plusieurs références pour de bons restaurants! Un endroit qui vaut le coup!

Our stay in La Fortuna was absolutely incredible! The property was stunning — the view of the Arenal Volcano was unreal and made every morning feel magical. There were amazing hiking trails just minutes away, perfect for exploring the lush surroundings. The hot springs nearby were such a relaxing bonus and really added to the experience. Santiago was a fantastic host — super responsive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking to enjoy nature, unwind, and take in some truly unforgettable views!

This is the most amazing AirBnB with the most jaw dropping view and beautiful home. We loved every aspect of our stay here that checking in to the Andaz Papagayo (5 star resort) wasn’t as impressive to us. We wished we stayed longer. Santiago went above and beyond as a host.  All his dining recommendations were on point. We can’t wait to come back!

What can i say, this place was a dream and Santiago was a fantastic host. My only complaint is that i only booked one night at this amazing house. The view of the volcano from the hot tub and entire house was out of this world. Cannot recommend this place enough!

No review can truly describe how special this villa is. From the stunning views to the peaceful, private location, everything was perfect. 🙌🏻 The villa is part of the Los Lagos private resort, making the experience feel exclusive and relaxing. A huge bonus was the included entrance to the Los Lagos Hot Springs, such a fun and soothing treat! 🏊🥽👙 The highlight of our stay was our incredible host, who went above and beyond to help coordinate a surprise proposal—for me! 💍✨ It was magical, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable. The villa itself was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. We felt completely safe, welcomed, and taken care of. The surrounding nature, the comfort of the home, and the kindness we received made it feel like paradise. 🌳🏞️☀️ If you’re looking for a dreamy, once-in-a-lifetime experience, this is the place to book without hesitation. We are forever grateful for the memories made and are already dreaming of returning one day. ❤️ Pura Vida 🇨🇷🦋✌️🏼

Santiago was great. very responsive. Home was beautiful and lush, and private.  Very quiet and peaceful.

The view is breathtaking. Santiago was great! Would stay here again.

Hello Zachary!! Muchas gracias por la reseña, ha sido un placer recibirlos con nosotros, pura vida!!

Santiago did an amazing job hosting and making sure we had everything we needed and more. Definitely recommend Santiago’s place as it was absolutely stunning with splendid views!

Hola Dalraj!! Thanks for your review, pura vida!! Thanks for recommending the place as well, you will be definitely welcome back at anytime!! :)

Santiago was the best host! He responded so fast when I had a question and the villa was absolutely incredible. This house blew my expectations away!

This place was fabulous, epic views of the volcano, the space was beautiful and serene, close to everything yet immensely private as well, loved it.

To be fair our time was great and so was location. As for expectations, lights on porch were out, grill had no way to light, cleaning crew never visited to upkeep or replace toiletries, and the kitchen barely has what is needed to make at home meal. But hey you’re on vacation some people might not cook like we did and some might if so may not be the best place. We stayed elsewhere over 12 days and other airbnbs did far better at accommodating taxis, restaurant and general travel.

Hello Riley! Hope everything goes amazingly! Ohh hehe I think you're a little confused. Of course we will not go inside the villa to replace anything without your consent. (You never asked or wrote us a message to) Remember we are not a hotel. This is an airbnb and of course the more important for us it not disrespecting your privacy unless you tell us to come inside. About the grill, there's fire starter and wood provided already, in case you couldn't started and needed help, you could have asked for it as well and we'd have helped you gladly! :) Please I ask you to understand the airbnb concept. Of course it'd have been a pleasure to help you replacing and giving you whatever you needed, but without communication from your part (Not even a word) it makes it a little difficult, pura vida!! :D

One of the most memorable airbnb stays I’ve ever had. Great property and location. Super helpful and responsive host!

Beautiful, location, view and property.  Santiago is a great host. Very responsive to communication.  I can’t say enough good things about this place.

Hey Seth! It's been a pleasure having you here, pura vida! :D

This is our favorite air bnb location we have ever stayed at! The views are even better than the photos. The attention to detail at this property is unmatched. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again

Our family absolutely loved staying here! The house was amazing and the 360° views were beyond breathtaking. Santiago was the most gracious host, answered my MANY questions quickly about the area and different activities. We didn’t realize we had access to Los Lagos pools for a whole stay until check in, but what an added bonus. The pools and hot springs were a family favorite! Also, the food and drinks by the pools are great. I HIGHLY recommend this Airbnb and area of CR! Pura Vida!

Thanks so much for your review, pura vida!! It's been amazing having you with us and you will definitely be welcome back at anytime!! :D

The place was absolutely breathtaking , just like the pictures. It is peaceful, quiet and with the best possible view. Santiago was responsive and super friendly, ready to help in whatever we needed. If we ever come back to costa rica we will be totally staying here again.

Lucia es una huesped increible que será bienvenida de vuelta cuando lo desee, pura vida Lucía!! :D

We loved our stay in Santiago's villa. It had great views being high up on the hill, was spacious enough for our two families and access to Los Lagos hot springs was a huge perk. The design and furnishings of the villa were very done as well. We were lucky that the Arenal volcano was visible the first day (the following days it was hidden by clouds) as its a beautiful backscape to the villa. It is very humid, as expected in the rainforest, and we appreciated having the dryer on site, as towels, bathing suits etc do not dry just by hanging up. Santiago and his staff were very friendly and responsive. Thank you!

Love it so much! Spacious for two families and the design is perfect for entertaining a big group! And you get the best view of the Volcano right after your backyard 😍 so awesome! The restaurant recommendations are spot on, breakfast buffet down the hill at the Las Lagos resort is super convenient, and evening soak at the LL hot spring was relaxing.

Hola Haowei! Me complace saber que tuviste una muy linda estadía, ha sido un placer recibirte acá en Villas Jawara, pura vida! :D

Incredible place with spectacular views of Arenal volcano and the surrounding countryside. We loved the large custom hot tub and fire pit. And it was terrific to have free access to the Los Lagos hot springs and resort.
