Pura Vista Glamping was a great find and place to spend the night. Wendy and Roger were super helpful in helping us find a place to eat and in suggesting things to do while we were there. High recommend the Essence Arenal Jungle Night Tour right across the street from Pura Vista. It was an exceptional 90-minute tour with Aurelio. The photo was the view from our little dome deck

Idyllic position. Simple but delightful rooms with the most amazing incredible views of Arenal ( lake & volcano) . Delicious coffee, breakfast and supper. stayed for 3 nights which was just enough ( 2 would have been too short as so much to do in the area) .

The property is in a beautiful location on a hill surrounded by nature. It is really quiet and you can hear the birds and monkeys from your room. We stayed in the tent which was really comfortable with a shared bathroom. Everything was very clean. The food was amazing and there are so many activities such as massage, spa and tours. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a peaceful place.

We were really happy to spend two days here. The room has a splendid view, the swimming pool also. The restaurant 2 mins walk from our room was fantastic. Far from the chaotic Fortuna, but close to every 'must see and live' in the same time. We really appreciate everything, we hope to come back one day!

The location was absolutely stunning with amazing views of the Arenal volcano and lake. We loved the various hiking trails, one even led to a water fall where you could swim, so bring your swim suits! We saw so much wild-life nearby on our walks including coyotes, toucans and monkeys. The room was spacious and very comfortable. We loved every meal and found the staff to be super friendly and helpful, wish we could have stayed longer!

The kind helpfulness of our hosts. The view and setting Thank you to the amazing family who run the lodgings! They were very kind and attentive! The location is excellent! Highly recommended: The butterfly conservatory which is literally just a few minutes walk up the street is awesome with several stunning walks, views, and stories of its own. The amazing views from all around the property and neighbourhood! Pura vida!

The story of the owners is amazing. You can feel the passion which they put in creating the Nepenthe. The view from the apartment and from the pool is amazing. From there we visit La fortuna, Hot springs and Arenal 1968. It is very peaceful place to stay.

Amazing location right on the lake with a view of Arsenal. Sitting on the balcony with a coffee each morning with the birds and butterflies in the garden was a highlight of the trip. The fusion restaurant is really good too. Daniela on reception was so helpful with late checkin/out and sorting transport to La fortuna and our trip onward.

Essence is based in an outstandingly beautiful location with breathtaking views of Volcán Arenal and Laguna Arenal. The large grounds are wonderfully maintained and home to an extraordinary variety of flora and fauna. The staff were exceptionally polite, friendly, and well-informed. I mostly spoke to Ariana who is so friendly, enthusiastic, and kind. I was particularly pleased to book an early morning birding tour in which we saw a hummingbird nest. I loved my stay!

Nice place with amazing view. The pool is beautiful, a little cold though so the jacuzzi is a big plus (it would be wonderful to have a view from there as well). The stuff is really kind and helpful. Clean rooms. We loved the location, el Castillo is a great alternative to la Fortuna, quiet yet close to everything with nice restaurants.

Lovely location with amazing views! Staff super helpful and the on-site restaurant phoenix did a great breakfast & dinner & accommodated us as vegetarians! The location is great for the views but if you aren’t driving then be prepared to get taxis (we used Uber with no issues) as even the short walk to el Castillo is up a very steep hill on the way back so wouldn’t be suitable for everyone. I had a massage and we used the laundry facilities & all was great!
