Guest Reviews

• Paul (7/5): GOOD - HOMELY, BREAKFAST DOG BARKING
• juan (10/5): - muy atentos súper lindo el lago está hermoso lo recomiendo mucho más si vas con niños
• cristina (10/5): Lovely and cozy. - Marita and Jeffrey were so welcoming and kind. The view from the patio is stunning, and the location was great to grab dinner at the Indian restaurant and to walk to Arenal Park.
• Trevor (8/5): -
• VBER (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix. Très bons petits déjeuners. Gentillesse des hôtes - Bon accueil. Propreté. Très bons petits déjeuners. La possibilité de garer notre voiture à l'intérieur de la propriété. Nous n'avons pas eu la chambre de luxe (un très grand lit) et avec baignoire réservée sur Booking mais une petite chambre avec lit classique et douche. La chambre est un peu petite mais très propre.
• Cordova (10/5): Very satisfied with everything - Great breakfast All was great
• Harald (7/5): -
• Natalia (10/5): Perfect stay - Breakfast was amazing! The backyard is absolutely gorgeous and the room is very cozy.
• J (8/5): -
• Guest (9/5): Sehr herzliche Gastgeberin und sehr sauber. - Sehr gutes Frühstück. Direkt an der Hauptstraße, Zimmer und Sitzplatz auf der Rückseite und darum Sehr ruhig.
• Anupkumar (9/5): Superb -
• Eduardo (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): Exceptional - Very hospitable and welcoming.
• Claudio (10/5): For Nuevo Arenal, this is a great choice - Breakfast was great local food. Location is great for the lake, although some attractions like the volcano are 45 minutes away A microwave or heater and a small refrigerator in the room would be welcome additions
• Cathy (9/5): Superb -
• Ematpete (10/5): Great stay - Very friendly housekeeper and really good breakfast! Thanks 😊
• Calvin (8/5): Good place to stay when traviling - The breafast was good with a good veriaty each day.the room was clean. Securety was good and the owners quiet friendly. Birds were nice to watch in the morning Road noise a little loud.
• Traci (8/5): Cute B&B on the Main Strip - Great location and breakfast at this cute family-owned Bed and Breakfast. The grounds in the back are stunning and the rooms were super charming and comfortable. The highlight was lingering at breakfast and watching the gorgeous birds, including a pair of parrots that live on the property, and listening to the rain. The breakfast was delicious and they provided basic cereal and hot chocolate for the younger kids. The abuela and her nieta who run the place were lovely. The little fast food place next door was also run by a super sweet lady who stayed open later to make dinner for my kids, since we arrived at around 6 and most places were closed. We didn't have a fridge in the room to store the food we were traveling with, and we needed to throw some of our food out. It was also a bit pricey for such a short stay because we had a family of 6 and needed to pay for 2 adjoining rooms. We also needed to pay in cash, which was unexpected. It was more expensive than all of our other lodging in Costa Rica during our 13 days there, but there are fewer available rooms in that area.
• Marcel (9/5): Superb -
• Werner (9/5): Superb - Incredibly clean,great location A little traffic noise (not bad though), it pretty much stopped after 9:00 pm.
• Mark (10/5): Perfect place in between Liberia and La Fortuna - Nice, clean, convenient, great breakfast, nice owners, beautiful back yard, let me wash my car, condition of room and place was immaculate. Everything was in top condition.
• Caron (8/5): Lovely, cosy property well located with friendly service. - Beautiful gardens and lovely lake views, near to nice restaurants Traffic noise late at night. Only once or twice a night, but woke me as so peaceful the rest of the time!
• Azra (1/5): Bad - we never get to enter lady canceled when we were jn front of her house due to family tragedy( what i’m sorry about but someone should have let us know ). we drove more then 5h to get there and we got stock there at night with the baby and without room. bad experience, not recommended
• Travis (8/5): A decent stay for a decent price. - Breakfast was great. Marita and Alberto were extremely welcoming. Beautiful garden on the property. Room was nothing special but it was clean. The street was extremely noisy. Dirt bikes going by a lot. No AC meant we had to leave windows open and made it even noisier. Only accept cash which was inconvenient for me. No mention of a cash only property while booking.
• Kay (10/5): Delightful stay at Marita's B&B. - The tropical garden at the bed and breakfast is delightful. We enjoyed Marita's wonderful breakfast as we gazed over beautiful foliage and bird-watched. The hosts gave excellent suggestions about area activities and provided a very helpful map. Watching the sunset from the nearby lake park was terrific.
• Aroca (9/5): Exceptional experience - Marita is very friendly clean place and good breakfast
• Agata (9/5): Superb - Beautiful garden (we saw a tucán there ;)), delicious breakfast, super friendly people and great location ;)
• Roli (10/5): Comfortable B&B - Hosts were very friendly. They have a small B&B managed well. Landscape behind the house is very pretty. Breakfast was delicious. They asked for our preferences and cooked accordingly. Eating on the porch with pretty plants as our view made our morning enjoyable.
• Radek (8/5): Very good - Very good breakfast in a great garden, where we saw so many birds you can just dream about in any local national park. :) In nearby restaurant (a bit uphill) with a great view to the village valley, we saw many many hummingburds on its terrace.
• Lea (10/5): Great place with kind hosts, amazing breakfast and beautiful garden - Very nice place to stay with incredibly kind hosts. In the morning we enjoyed a great homemade breakfast with beautiful garden views! We were able to watch a lot of different colourful birds. We had fresh juice, coffee, fruit and a great burrito. We only stayed for one night but wouldn't have minded to stay longer. The place is located on the main street, bars and jobs are in walking distance and you can enjoy a great view over the lake while walking around.
• Julie (7/5): It was a nice place to stop for a night on our way from La Fortuna to Rio Celeste. - The patio faces out on a lovely backyard! The suite was very clean and shower had great pressure. Marita’s smile and warm manner were lovely and the breakfast was filling and homemade. The juice was the best we have had in Costa Rica🙂The property was secure and convenient as we were travelling along this highway. It is also right next door to the German bakery where we found rye bread and had a wonderful supper. We appreciated the owners concern over the security of our car park, as we misunderstood the parking information. The noise of the road. We had read about this so we were prepared but the side suite is very loud, the larger suite in the back would be quieter I think. The decor was a bit dated but all as pictured so no surprises.
• Deborah (10/5): Stayed in a clean, comfortable and self locked room - The hosts were outstanding. There is a secured parking area. The grounds are beautiful and you can watch birds eating from their feeder while you have breakfast on their patio. My breakfast consisted of fresh coffee, juice, sweet roll, fresh cut fruit and a huge burrito.
• Adrian (9/5): Perfect stopover leaving a warm memory of caring hosts - Superb breakfast. Friendliness and flexibility of hosts, who were non-intrusive but very accessible if needed. Comfortable bed. Variety of birds to be seen in garden. Host's recommendations for eating (Moya's pizza very good). Off street parking. Some traffic noise but it was not overly disruptive in our room. Ready access to a fridge would have been useful but I am sure if we had asked the hosts they would have offered use of their fridge.
• Marco (9/5): Lovely B&B with lovely hosts. - Marita and Roberto are the most caring hosts you'll ever meet. The breakfast with view to their lovely garden is great. The room was spacious, comfortable, very clean and with air conditioning. Nuevo Arenal is nice but as a location some kilometers away from the attractions of La Fortuna. As one knows this before it is not really a negative point. The German bakery is right next door, so if you don't like the smell of freshly baked bread, this might be a negative point (;-)).
• Iris (4/5): Disappointing - Is ok
• Maximilian (10/5): Marita & Albert really make you want to stay forever -
• Patricia (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was good. The room needs some love. Equipment is old.
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed there with our friends and we all love everything, the owners was very nice and friendly, garden view was amazing, breakfast was very special. Honestly it felt like home
• Didier (8/5): Very good - Comfort, good AC, good beds, nice hosts and cosy breakfast!
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marco (9/5): Stay like home - Marita and Alfredo are very nice people and we felt completely comfortable. The room was simple but very clean and the beds comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast with a view of the beautiful garden, especially for birdwatchers there is a lot to see. If we are again in the area we will definitely stay there again.
• Monica (9/5): Lovely stay in Nuevo Arenal - Nueva Arenal is a great place to stay - in close proximity to La Fortuna Waterfalls/Arenal Volcano and Tenario Volcano/Celeste falls; great restaurants-Tenajas on Lake Arenal for sunsets; Casa Italia for homemade pasta; Moyas for vibe and pizza. Marita and Alberto are a lovely couple - Alberto from the US speaks English and Spanish/Marita spanish. Room is quaint and comfortable; their back deck is a slice of paradise with orchids and gardenias growing. That's where the traditional Costa Rican Gallo Pinto breakfast is served. They are both a wealth of information! Loved our stay!
• Cason (10/5): Exceptional -
• Frank (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay! Clean and comfortable room, lovely breakfast area overlooking a beautifully landscaped property that is enjoyed by so many birds! Our breakfast was delicious, too. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
• Claudia (9/5): Very nice hosts and good location - Marita and her husband are the kindest people, took really good care of us, asked which breakfast preferences we have and we had very good local and austrian (!) breakfast!!! The terrace and the garden is wonderful and the location is near restaurants and lake and you even have 2(!) really really good Italien Restaurants in Nuevo Arenal ! Nothing! Some street noise is mentioned but it didn't bother us!
• Anonymous (10/5): Perfect spot to stay for a day or two - On the main road, but you would never know what you go to the back patio so many flowers, plants and birds. Marita and Albert are very nice and helpful. breakfast was great too! I can’t think of a thing I did not like.
• Teresa (10/5): Great place to stay - Alberto & Marita are wonderful hosts! Food is always great. My sister was with this time & she had excellent gluten-free breakfasts. They are always willing to help & go the extra mile to make sure your stay is wonderful! 👏 😊 Everything was fine.
• Mike (7/5): Good -
• Kevin (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (8/5): Very nice people, worthy to visit - Marita and Albert are extremly nice people. Very helpful. Very nice garden! You hear the streetnoise quite a bit.
• Atiyah (10/5): A perfect tranquil stay with a stunning garden - Marita's place was perfect. She and Alberto are the perfect hosts and made me feel like family. They were welcoming, helpful and genuinely friendly. Their place is walking distance from the beautiful lake and the little town. It is also conveniently located next to a German bakery which has delicious pastries! The highlight is definitely their stunning garden which attracts vibrant coloured birds including hummingbirds and a baby toucan while I was there. It's a tranquil setting and having breakfast watching the birds is an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend staying here for a peaceful stay.
