What a beautiful place. The room was delightful and we could have looked at the views non stop. And have plenty of pictures to prove it. … read more The breakfasts are delicous, the coffee superb. We chose to eat dinner there as well when we stayed at Hotel Laguna after our sight seeing days, and were not disappointed!! And Anna is delightful to talk to!

  Julio and his mother are the best hosts we could have asked for. The service was top-notch and always came with a smile. When Julio found out we would be… read more heading out one morning before breakfast was going to served, he knocked on our door the night before with fruit bowls and sandwiches for us to take with us. It was almost like staying with friends (that actually want you there).

The units are brand new, modern, and offer sensational views of Lake Arenal. There is really nothing better than waking up to that kind of a view. The hotel is located in close proximity to some good restaurants, and is convenient to explore the area attractions including the volcano area, Rio Celeste, La Fortuna Waterfall, etc.

I would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you for a memorable stay.

To start with- the buildings themselves are simply stunning. Pristinely clean, amazing architecture, and frankly …. The views literally cannot be beat. Next are the owners, who are simply the most welcoming, kind, thoughtful people in the world. I texted in advance that we were tired and hoping to have dinner on checking in and they (plus their chef Carlos) made what was honestly one of the best meals in our lives. No joke. We travel a lot and have been to Michelin starred restaurants that weren’t this good. I cannot emphasize enough HOW AMAZING the food was… you should come here if not for the views then the food alone!! We essentially had a private chef while we overlooked the most gorgeous landscape in their open concept restaurant. We ended up foregoing the five star resort dinner we had planned for the next night to eat here again and it was equally as amazing. On top of that- breakfast was served every day and was also phenomenal. A huge thank you to the owners, the staff, Carlos, for making our stay unforgettable.

  We only stayed one night but I wish we could have stayed one month. The pictures don’t do it justice. We arrived in the afternoon and were welcomed by the… read more owner’s rescue dogs and cats. We immediately felt at home! Our bungalow was out of this world. It was clean, comfortable and the view, well I don’t have any words. You feel like life is paused, the sounds are the sounds you hear on the sound apps. Birds, frogs, other animals. We left our windows open at night and it was cool and mosquito free. The breakfast was incredible. All handmade and organic. Amazing parfait with fresh fruit, mango and coconut smoothie, eggs and homemade bread. The owners are so welcome and gave us lots of good tips on what to visit. We are planning on coming back there and spending more days. This is the place to stay and you will not regret it. I run an Airbnb and I am pretty difficult on where I stay. This will not disappoint you! More

  My wife and I stayed in this hotel two days and had wonderful and memorable time. We stayed in four different hotels, each two nights, around Lake Arenal. … read more All four of them were best hotels Costa Rica presents in different ways. This hotel stands out as a unique one. Its bungalows are well designed and modern. The view from each bungalow is unhindered, looking down Lake Arenal in the right distance and perspective. The hotel is owned and run by Anna and Bastian, who had stayed in many other countries in their earlier life. They bring in their multi-cultural experience in running this remote hotel. They are very warm and very accommodating, for local tours and places to visit, including our losing bungalow keys. We had one dinner and one breakfast, the best food I ever had in a long while. Anna is very passionate of her food from raw materials, cooking and serving. The hotel exceeded my expectation from every possible way! Thank you Anna for the time we stayed there! We missed you to say bye when we were leaving because You went out for your daily shopping for the night’s cooking.
