Arenal Waterfall Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Really beautiful place and kind staff! We got a free room upgrade when we arrived and could hear the howler monkeys outside. They offer included breakfast at a restaurant nearby with free transportation there. Some of the best sleep I’ve got in a long time with the rain and bird noises :)"
