A perfect place to relax and enjoy the true pura vida of Costa Rica. The view is stunning, and all you can hear is the sound of nature, especially the birds singing. The bed is extremely comfortable, and the space is cozy and very well maintained. Breakfast was delicious, varied, and different every day – a lovely surprise! There are several good restaurants, supermarkets, and gas stations nearby, which is very convenient. Carole and Paul were outstanding hosts, always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help with anything we needed. It was an amazing stay in every way!

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!

Amazing view over the lake and the vulcano, the kitchen is spacious and there is a big washing machine / dryer. The apartment is very beautiful and there is a large balcony, but my highlight is the pool (three pools) overlooking the lake. There is an amazing seafood place very close: Lake Arenal Pizza and Seafood! The cocktails and the food are amazing.

The location is perfect for staying at El Castillo. The host was super friendly and helpful. There is a river/ stream next to the cabin that isn’t visible but you can hear it so clearly, the sound of the water was incredible! Will keep this place as a go to whenever I’m back 100%.

The property was clean, spacious and in a lovely safe location (inside a gated community). The hosts were superb from start to finish, very accommodating and friendly, offering local advice and great recommendations. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is clean and modern and the kitchen area has everything you need. The pool area is amazing.
