We loved Laguna Arenal the minute we arrived. Our accommodations were perfect, very clean, bathroom very spacious and updated. The view from our cabin was amazing!!! Breakfasts were incredible!!! A lot of variety with fresh ingredients. Wifi worked very well. Our host's: Milena & Bastiaan, were the best! Extremely accommodating, paid attention to details and also aimed to please.

The location is amazing, you have access to a beautiful rainforest on the property and the volcano views are unbeatable. We stayed in a room, which was simple but very comfortable. We had shared bathroom and shower, they were very clean and the shower has hot water which is lovely in the fresh mountain evenings. The restaurant on the property serves delicious vegan/vegetarian food all day. To be noted that it's not close to La Fortuna, it's about a 30 minutes drive out, so it's best to have a car. It's one of the things we personally loved. We did the night walk with Aurelio and it's been the highlight of our trip so far! He is so knowledgeable and very interesting, everyone should do it!

Just stay here. Friendly host. Great view. Spacious room, including bath spa. Received an upgrade at no extra cost, which was greatly appreciated. The property really is just metres outside the Sky Adventure Park, not the entrance down below, as the directions are somewhat vague.

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

Everything was great,

Everything was great, only down side is the busy narrow road around the town. Outer locations were quieter! We Loved Nuevo Arenal. It is a quaint little town about 40 min from Arenal Town. Although you can not see the Volcano from there, there are Beautiful views of Lake Arenal.. Great Restaurants and People.

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.

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
