"Great stay "

"In the heart of the jungle, this property is super chill & picturesque as well as 20 min from La Fortuna downtown and has parking on site. Ypull absolutly get to hear some animals safely around. We used our pool and hottub every single day and were stunned by how clean the bungalow was. This is a family owned business so you'll feel totally safe and taken care of. "

"Fantastic, unique experience. Beautiful grounds and hotel. Amazing animal sanctuary. "

"This is such a unique property. My family (partner and 2 kids) stayed in the suite and had so much fun. The views are spectacular, my kids loved exploring the property and getting to know the dogs and cats that roam about. Beautiful, relaxing, and fun. Wish we could stay longer."

"The property has a river running behind it for a beautiful view. The owner walks the grounds and interacts with the guests and staff. Every employee was so friendly and helpful! The buffet breakfast was amazing as well as the dinner menu. I can’t find anything bad to say!"

"The Ranch Villa Arenal is a gorgeous house and property. We felt at home and fell in love with Yadi the house keeper/cook and Joaquin the grounds keeper. Yadi cooked a delicious breakfast every day and Joaquin entertained us with tours of the working ranch. The Fortuna area offers many activities for all age groups. Our family had a fantastic time and highly recommend this property. Pura Vida."

"Highly recommend lodge. This is a must stay when visiting costa rica. "

"This lodge and spa is located in a valley between two mountain ranges at about 5000 feet (compared to Monte Verde 4300 feet) and is considered to be within the range of cloud forest. When we arrived, we were checked in and the host was very nice but failed to give us clear information of how to navigate the privately owned cloud forest with very hilly resort location and four water falls all within the property. Even though we mentioned that my wife is just recovering from knee surgery he completely ignored the fact. It was very cloudy and misty, and we wanted to finish the waterfall trail that evening. There are no clearly marked trail makers, nor the maps given were accurate. Maps were schematic and could not be relied upon for trekking. When my wife and I followed the trail, we reached a fork and had to decide to take either the mystery trail or melody trail. The map or the board showed no information on the level of difficulty. Our check in host just mentioned that they were both in a loop. We took the melody trail which turned out to be a big mistake and we struggled a lot in the hiking. This could have been easily avoided by any indication of difficulty levels by the guide, signboard, or the map. In any case, we made it. The waterfall was just OK, luckily while returning we took the mystery trail which was much easier and well paved though at some forks there were no sign. I do wish the property will improve so the visit will be much better for others in future. "

"Great place to stay. "
