Lovely jungle experience
Beautiful property with lots of amenities. Flowers, birds, howler monkeys, etc…can be enjoyed throughout the property. The massage hut, on site, was outstanding!!! Many restaurants and activities within walking distance.

Fabulous place and fabulous hosts!
We loved our week at Encantada Arenal! The guesthouse is beautifully decorated, and well-equipped, and the hosts, Marty and Nita are warm, caring, and incredibly helpful. They provide personal concierge service, such as making reservations and recommending all of the best activities. At their suggestion, we joined them on an amazing tour at the wonderful Bogarin Trail in La Fortuna, where we were able to see sloths with their babies, poison, dart, frogs, eyelash, vipers, as well as toucans, and a wide diversity of other birds. Marty made a reservation for us at sky adventure to do the hanging bridge hike, which was another terrific experience! We did the 8 AM tour which we highly recommend and saw lots of birds, and, of course, the magnificent rainforest. Other suggestions that we took included hiking both the Observatory Lodge trails for incredible views of the volcano, and the 1968 lava flow trail, as well as enjoying the Hot Springs at los Lagos, and visiting La Fortuna waterfall. Marty and Nita were always available to answer any questions, gave us a tour of their lovely B&B, and when I paid the small extra fee for a load of laundry, Nita even hung the clothes that couldn’t go in the dryer for me. It is clear that people are Marty and Nita‘s passion, and they truly love what they do. From enjoying the wonderful shared Jacuzzi that we had all to ourselves one evening to chatting about our mutual travels with Nita and Marty, we felt cared for and had an amazing time!

An Incredible Experience!
First let me say--- If you desire a truly authentic Costa Rican Rainforest experience--- why would you stay anywhere else! The Encantada Guest House was perfect--Incredibly clean, beautifully appointed, and perfectly situated. Wildlife galore, your own pool, shared hot tub access, on-site massage and yoga studios, trail to a private creek---- all just so incredible--- and the hosts Marty & Nita are second to none!!!

Encantada Guest House
The casita was beautifully decorated and the surrounding gardens were stunning. We enjoyed waking to sounds of bird song and sitting on the front porch watching the humming birds as we drank our morning coffee. Nita and Marty did an excellent job sharing fun things to do and places to go in the area. The whole experience was restful, peaceful and fun!

Lovely Jungle Stay
We enjoyed our stay in El Castillo. The accommodation was clean, spacious and well supplied with everything we needed. Peaceful outside spaces were appreciated with chairs in sun and shade as desired. Nita and Marty are kind and accessible when needed. Previous reviews mention the road up - we found it easy up and down with a firm track. Enjoyed a few local restaurants as recommended by our hosts.

We found our new favorite place!
Encantada Arenal B&B and guest house is set on the edge of the rainforest with amazing views of the volcano and lake Arenal. The property is peaceful, beautifully kept and full of character. Marty and Nita treated us like family. We saw toucans and heard monkeys every day. The location is so close to everything we wanted to do: zip lines, hiking, great restaurants, but it felt like we were the only ones there. Can’t wait to plan a return trip.
