Offering a garden and garden view, Arenal volcano apartment with panoramic view is set in El Castillo de La Fortuna, 4.6 km from Sky Adventures Arenal and 16 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park. This apartment features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 26 km from La Fortuna Waterfall.

The apartment is composed of 1 bedroom, a fully equipped kitchenette, and 1 bathroom. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. This place is a hidden gem, the drive up was stunning, the host was so friendly and the apartment is beautifully decorated. The bed’s extremely comfortable, the shower has great pressure and everything is spotlessly clean. I wish I’d found this place sooner as I would happily spend a lot more time hear. The views take your breathe away. The night sounds are heavenly. There is a great breeze and the screens keep mosquitos away.

Fitted with a terrace, the units offer air conditioning and feature a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and a hair dryer. Selected rooms also feature a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave, a toaster and a fridge. At the bed and breakfast, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. Carole and Paul are excellent hosts with an amazing property! We had some difficulties traveling but they stayed up late to greet us and had special accommodations for us too. The breakfasts were fabulous! We lost power one morning but Carole and Paul still had hot coffee, hot water for tea, and a warm breakfast for all the guests. The rooms are as beautiful as the photos and are very comfortable. The bed was comfortable too.I especially loved watching all the birds and meeting other guests at breakfast. I highly recommend staying here! We will certainly stay again next time we are in Nuevo Arenal!

The holiday home features 4 bedrooms, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a fridge, a washing machine, and 2 bathrooms with a shower. The property offers garden views.

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 31 km from the holiday home, while Sky Adventures Arenal is 39 km away. Fortuna Airport is 55 km from the property. A beautiful compact villa with a wonderful view over the lake. Comfortable beds and nice bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a nice garden. It's close enough to all the attractions of Arenal (we enjoyed hanging bridges, Zipline, kayak, hiking and watching the local fauna) as well as supermarkets, restaurants and cafés. At the same time it is in a quiet area, so we could thoroughly enjoy the stay with our family. The owner is very nice and helpful. Highly recommended!

The holiday home comes with 1 bedroom, a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and a hair dryer. Towels and bed linen are featured in the holiday home. This holiday home is allergy-free and non-smoking. We loved how peaceful, classy and clean the studio is! Great amenities and finishes and the bed was really comfortable. The setting is beautiful and the use of the clubhouse with gym, pool and game room was awesome! The Monday morning community breakfast was tasty and a good chance to commune with other residents and guests. The hosts Ian and Marcela are personable, available and went out of there way to make sure we were comfortable. One of the highlights of a great stay was an amazing reflexology session with Mariela. We also took advantage of a massage in their spa, which was super affordable. The drive from town to their suite was on a short dirt road with great views of the lake, so we chose to buy some food in town to cook in their amply supplied kitchen rather than drive back and forth.

The spacious holiday home is equipped with 5 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, and 5 bathrooms. A flat-screen TV is provided.

Arenal Eco Zoo is 1.9 km from the holiday home, while Ecoglide Arenal Park is 21 km away. Fortuna Airport is 33 km from the property. A wonderful place! ... Really "in the sky", all around only nature, no view of houses. Very good for birdwatching, toucans come by daily and hummingbirds are everywhere. There is an observation platform. You can see the volcano and Lake Arenal from everywhere on the property and the many armchairs grouped around the house. The people from the agency are very friendly and helpful. We missed some things in the kitchen and bedside lamps, everything was done immediately. You have to know that there are three units on the property. In addition to the large house with four bedrooms (which we rented), there is a (very) small unit in a kind of garden house for 2 people and another house with 2 bedrooms.
