Amazing Stay for Friends and Family
We went for my wife's 40th birthday with multiple families with kids. It was a perfect venue and stay that was closer to the Liberia airport vs Fortuna. We had Tucans on the property, parrots, and plenty of beautiful birds. There is enough distance from each of the villas that gave you some privacy, but close enough to also feel together easily. One issue you can run into in being in the jungle is bugs, but there were no mosquitos or any issues at all staying here, definitely nothing in the houses either. Nuevo Arenal is the local town about 10 min down the road, with some great food options and local stores to get provisions as needed. Definitely more locals and low key, which was nice. The host, Coltin, was phenomenal. We had several issues arise, including forgetting an important bag at the rental car agency at the airport, and Coltin was there to help and use local connections to get it all solved (even went to pickup the bag himself!). He also arranged special cake for the birthday, balloons, and was incredibly responsive. 10/10 for him. Overall, great experience.

Great vacation
Maria was a great host. She booked us a couple excursions for a discounted rate, answered all our questions, made recommendations, and was very accommodating. And her English is good which was helpful because our Spanish is no bueno ;). Lake Arenal is beautiful and we enjoyed the small town but it was quite a drive to all our excursions in La Fortuna. Maria was there to greet us at check-in. The property was really pretty and well landscaped. The Enchanted Cottage felt private. It had all the essential appliances and cooking utensils. We wish we would have had a couple staple items like cooking oil and salt/pepper but nothing a quick trip to town the next day couldn’t fix. The cottage could use some cosmetic updating and the bed was a little harder than I would prefer. We loved hearing the birds and rain and just relaxing in between excursions. The Wi-Fi was good and they have cable TV. Very nice hosts, cute town, good restaurants nearby, private and clean cottage, pretty property! Thank you!

Family Anniversary Vacation
Our family of seven spent four wonderful days at Arsenal Springs. We occupied two of the villas, Casa Grande and Casa Primera. The grounds and the views were beautiful! The Casa Grande had the had the most spectacular views. Maria Louisa was very friendly and hospitable. Chef Nixon catered a dinner for us one night. The food was wonderful and we all enjoyed his and his cousin’s service and humor. One suggestion: comfortable patio and pool furniture would have made the experience even better. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Fantastic property with spectacular view
We had such a great time! Property is absolutely beautiful set on hillside overlooking the lake. Villas were all very clean and unique, perfect for our group of 15 including 7 young kids. Tons of nearby activities in rainforest, volcanoes and towns. We also had the private chef cook several dinners and breakfasts. All the food was fantastic, great to stay in after days out exploring!

Extended family getaway
The property was stunning. We were a party of 14 and used all of the villa's. The hill to get to the top house was a steep one but made for a good workout. The houses were all filled with towels, toilet paper and soap and were all very clean. Maria helped with each and every request and question we had making our visit a spectacular one.

Charming Costa Rica Mountain Home with Lake and Mountain views
Our family had a great time here and Maria and Tom were wonderful and responsive hosts (even texting and meeting us late at night on our arrival as we did have a little trouble finding the gate in the dark). The home is colorful, cheery and bright with local accent touches (paintings, rugs, artwork) that really give a feel of being in Costa Rica. We had daily adventures in La Fortuna and up to Rio Celeste - all are a bit of a drive from the home but we did feel central to explore the area. Also, coming home to the pool, view and waking up to the birds and flowers made us feel very at home away from home. Thank you Maria and Tom for a lovely stay!!!

Beyond expectations
Tropical paradise. There are four separate villas on this property. We rented all four, but you may rent them separately. Maid service is provided for fresh linens during your stay. The host speaks English and Spanish and is warm, welcoming, and helpful. We opted not to rent a car, and the host arranged for van transport for us for day trips to La Fortuna and LaPaz. And also to and from the airport. All the villas are well equipped, clean, and quaintly furnished. One thing to be aware of is that two of the villas are at the top of a pretty steep hill, and the other two are further down. Both have beautiful views of Lake Arenal, but if your party is using both, be aware that it is a challenging trek up that driveway. We were eight 70 year olds, and we were able to do it, but something to be aware of. (The pool is near the bottom two villas.). All in all, we absolutely loved this place.

Even more beautiful than the photos
We had a wonderful stay at the Arenal Springs Villa. The property is even more beautiful than the photos, and Thomas, Maria, and their team are so kind and helpful. One day a few members of our group were taking a walk around the property and the gardener cut down fresh grapefruit for them. It made their whole trip! The property is about an hour away from the major Arenal attractions, but the drive is beautiful, and it was worth it for us to be able to stay altogether in such a beautiful villa.
