Arenal Waterfall Lodge

Arenal Waterfall Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We had the best week vacation here! I stayed here with my spouse and two girlfriends. We had the 2 bedroom villa with private pool! Everyone was so helpful and so nice at the property! They drive you to the included breakfast at Geckos by the waterfall where you get to meet Charlie and Scott and all their sweet and lovable pups and kitties! Not only was their breakfast so flavorful and filling, but their fresh juices, banana shakes and the sweetest fruit bowls were all absolutely delicious too! They both are such kind and humble people and made us feel like family. It was the best start to our day, every morning. We even saw monkeys and toucans right across the street from the restraunt! It was such a cool experience! Bonus! They have a dog sanctuary with so many sweet and lovable babies! You can fall in love and take one of them home with you 💕 The villa itself is perfect, it had everything we needed. The location is the most peaceful and beautiful, the views are spectacular! We fell in love with La Fortuna and we will definitely be back here again. Thank you so so much to all the staff and front desk personnel for taking care of us at the lodge and to Scott and Charlie for such great hospitality and yummy food every morning 😊 Pura Vida!"
