We stayed here for 3 nights during a 2 week tour of Costa Rica and fell in love with this place.

The views of the Arenal Volcano are fantastic and you are just far enough out of the small town for peace and quiet. it is only a few minutes walk to all the bars and restaurants etc and we felt perfectly safe walking around the area.
The lodges are very rustic / basic but are perfectly adequate for a few days stay. We are well travelled from 3 - 5 star accommodation all over the world and i am very fussy were i sleep but the rooms were clean and comfortable. We dont use tv's while we are away or room telephones etc as we dont feel the need. In any case you were seconds away from the reception area if you needed anything. The lighting is a little dim at night inside the cabins as there aren't any bedside lamps etc but we had head torches as we are avid readers so managed fine. The bathrooms are large and there is a fridge in the room.
The breakfasts are served opposite the garden under a little open sided cabana with choice of fruit, toast, eggs, omelette etc not large but again sufficient.

The highlight for us was the owner Daisy who was like a friend rather than an owner and while we were there took a personal interest in us and other guests showing us around her beautiful gardens and explaining about the different birds and iguanas etc. This may have been because we showed an avid interest in both the wildlife and her garden, but nothing seemed to much trouble for her. On one day our tour collection was late and she even went off on her own accord and rang the tour people up to chase them up without us asking her to. We are also aware that she helped other guests with similar problems and also seemed to us to go the extra mile.

The place has a nice pool and there are some cabins still being built to one side but this does not detract from the established areas.

Yes small improvements could be made but for us the pros certainly out way the cons and Daisy is clearly trying to establish a good and efficient holiday location from which to tour this beautiful country.

Best bits - the garden and birdlife, seeing large and i mean large iguanas hanging from the trees , views of the volcano and the relaxed and quiet atmosphere.


Would we go back again - yes without doubt.
Many thanks Daisy for a wonderful stay!!!

Stayed here for two nights in one of the cabins situated along a paved path from the parking. The cabin itself was nicely furnished and included a fridge, AC, and TV. The bathroom had plenty of space. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and include a swimming pool. The entire compound sits within a 15-minute walk to La Fortuna’s central plaza. In short: comfortable accommodation, friendly hosts, and beautiful locale.

Very rustic charm from outside, but that is as far as it goes, I had two rooms for family staying two nights, the cabin was cute and clean, but we had no hot water for the one cabin for both days, so cold showers. The TV remote did not work, the lighting inside was like having a 40 watt bulb for the cabin and washroom. You get two towels, no hand towel or facecloth, unless you ask, then it's a big production to get anything. The one cabin had one towel for two people. The bathroom shower is large, but hot water is an issue, and the lighting is pathetic. The toilet paper you have to ask for, nothing seems to go smoothly nor does housekeeping check to ensure everything is in place or working. The breakfast are simple and the 2nd day no meat with breakfast, as they had no bacon, ham or sausage. I bought o the attention of Daisy, all I got was sorry. No compensation for inadequate rooms and stay. If you like sleeping in a glorified garden shed with rock hard mattress this place is for you.
The gardens and landscaping is very nice, with plenty of birds to view. The pool is very nice but limited seating.
I would not recommend this facility unless you like paying for a camping adventure with the rates they charge.
