My husband and I went to Agua Inn this weekend, my mind was blown❤️. The place, the architecture, the vibe, the beautiful energy this so called "paradise in the forest" gave from the very first moment we arrived. Javier and Trent were beyond special and amazing with us, Feo and Kila, so sweet❤️ Pepa not so much, she scared the shit out of me🐦, gurl did not gave us a break😂🤭. Thank you Trent and Javier for the beautiful vibe, your kindness, that delicious breakfast and the amazing coffee, also thank Adela for her hospitality and kindness We are definitely coming back, hopefully this time a little bit longer ❤️ See you soon!

Great Location near Lake Arenal. Joanne and Simon are the perfect hosts; during our stay they were always helpful and found answers to any question. We became friends! They proposed best-fit daytrips that fit best with our interest: a cozy Hot Springs Spa resort, a Hanging Bridge tour and a horse back ride. Ahead phone calls were offered to secure availability. The house restaurant was temporarily closed as the cook had just left. Manuel, owner of a small restaurant next door (25m) offered excellent local food and hosted us every night. Best comes last: the home-made breakfast with fruit of the season, fresh juices and home made bread and cake! WOW!!!

A Hidden Paradise in Arenal – Unforgettable Stay! Villas Santa Maria is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed into a little slice of paradise. The property is stunning, surrounded by lush greenery, breathtaking mountain views, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it the perfect getaway. The villas are beautifully designed—spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in both the accommodations and the hospitality truly sets this place apart. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible breakfast prepared by Paul and Carol. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious homemade feast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon to fresh tropical fruit, homemade banana bread and the best locally sourced coffee, each meal was a delightful way to start the day. Their warm and welcoming nature made the experience even more special, making us feel right at home. The location is ideal—just a short drive to Arenal’s main attractions yet tucked away in a tranquil setting that allows you to truly relax and reconnect with nature. Whether you're here for adventure or relaxation, Villas Santa Maria is the perfect choice.

The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing.

The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing. Both the volcano and the lake offer many chances for impressive photographs. The town has the necessities that a visitor might need. Restaurants serve good food at good prices.

Not convenient for La Fortuna.

Not convenient for La Fortuna. It was a 20 min windy road drive each way. Nuevo Arenal was really noisy with dirt bikes and cars driving through. City has little to offer as far as food and entertainment.

The town is beautiful and located in a beautiful lush area. There are cute little restaurants and sodas. The locals were very friendly. My only complaint would be that the restaurants and stores etc close too early. It was hard finding something to eat/drink later in the evening

No power in the room the morning of our departure and no return call. Wine undrinkable. Bunk bed not for adults. Mattress very thin. One person cooking and cashiering for restaurant. Hope everything works because no one is coming. Claimed power outage but noticed it only affected our 2 units. Wiring looked suspect in our room.

The road between Nuevo Arenal and the Arenal Volcano is gorgeous, true jungle scenery complete with lovely views and roadside animal encounters. The resort is 8 miles from town, but shares space with two other dining establishments as well as a quick shop for essentials. Spend a week, sign-up for some outdoor adventures, especially by visiting the Arenal Observatory Park and the Mystico Hanging Bridges naturalist tour. You'll have truly lived the Monteverde experience!

The area is beautiful with mountain and lake views.

The area is beautiful with mountain and lake views. People are very friendly. There are many great restaurants and eating spots to enjoy, including a brewery/restaurant on the lake. We would love to go back. You need to have a car to see this area of Costa Rica. Getting around was easy - the main roads are good, but the side roads are rough. We did take some drives into the "country", and saw some interesting areas and also great views. The climate was very comfortable - mostly in the 70's deg. F. We didn't near air conditioning in our rooms.

The hotel on the whole was fantastic. The room was an excellent size with an amazing view over lake Arenal. The grounds were very nice and well maintained with a good sized pool and large jacuzzi. The restaurant and food were very good with excellent portion sizes (a 'snack' was easily big enough for dinner). Staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful with booking tours and answering questions. There was also a small shop near by, a souvenir shop a 2 minute walk down the road and a lovely walk down to the shore of lake Arenal.

Overall stay was good with only one complaint that we had a lot of bugs such a spiders and centipedes in our room which I understand that are common in Costa Rica but still was a bit scary for me. Overall the staff was lovely and the view from the hotel is also great as you get to see beautiful birds from the balcony. For the price we paid would recommend it
