A very friendly, organised and Eco-friendly resort. The cabins are discreetly distributed in the forested area and the rooms are very well kept and clean. The restaurant, a simple structure, serves good simple dinner and a breakfast where you can watch a wide variety of birds come to feeding tables. The lodge is well located to visit Arenal Volcano and... More

My fiance and I stayed at Arenal Oasis in August of this year and enjoyed it very much! The staff was warm and welcoming. Our cabin was clean, quiet and through the large back window, we had a great view of plants, hummingbirds, and leaf cutter ants. Every morning we enjoyed breakfast while watching the colorful assortment of birds eating... More

We spent 3 nights here in September 2011 and it definitely wasn't enough! We absolutely adored this hotel, the owners, and all the staff. The birdwatching was fantastic and we loved eating breakfast and dinner al fresco in the covered restaurant. Breakfast with the birds is great, watching the chachalacas, tanagers, euphonias, and honeycreepers coming in for the fruit that... More

My husband and I spent 3 nights in the cozy little cottages of Arenal Oasis in September 2011 and we loved every minute of it! The cottages are sparkle clean in the heart of nature and very private. There is a nice trail on the site where you can walk and enjoy nature (and a neat butterfly farm) at your... More

My fiance was staying here with a friend during her visit of the Arenal volcano and she loved it. She loved the setting of the cabins, their cleanliness and the friendliness of the people running the place. We wanted to stay here when I visited but unfortunately it was full. We ended up on the same street at Cerro Chatto... More

My friend and I had a wonderful time staying here. The cabins are simple but clean and very pleasant, and the family that runs is very nice. Lots of natural beauty, not at all crowded, a good place for some quality quiet time. Or as a base for day-long jaunts into the surrounding area. The unique attraction of Arenal Oasis... More

We stayed here for 5 nights and both loved it. Its off the beaten path far enough that you aren't near most of the tourists. You'll be lulled to sleep each night by frogs and crickets. The birds at this place were amazing. They set fruit out for breakfast to attract dozens of beautiful birds each morning. Bring you camera... More

This is my 4th visit to Arenal Oasis and this time I am staying here, in one place, for a week. It is a great place to relax inside the rainforest. Fantastic place for photography. The property is owned and operated by a Costa Rican family, the family Rojas Bonillas, who are very nice and helpful. Dining area is inside... More
