Guest Reviews

• Kira Elisa (10/5): Grandios! Absolute Empfehlung! - Super nette Gastgeber, morgens frische Früchte, viele Vögel zu beobachten, sehr sauber und in toller Lage. Wunderschönes Apartment und toller Pool– wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt!
• Heidi (10/5): Beautiful location. Friendly and helpful owners. Clean and well maintained space. Quiet and very bird friendly. - The birds were everywhere and up close. Quiet, with thoughtful owners. Afternoon rains were always exciting! No daily maid service. This isn’t a dislike so much as a “good to know.”
• Van Hoa (9/5): Awesome chance to see birds from your balcony. - The apartment was clean and close enough to walk to restaurants and Uber to town. There are actually 2 bathrooms for convenience. There is a cute heart-shaped jacuzzi tub; though it seems to run out of hot water. The garden provided such a wonderful opportunity to watch various birds flying about and up close (including a colorful black toucan). Note: It seems April is nesting season - otherwise there would be even more birds out. The plus side is we had practically zero rain 4/14-4/22. If needed, you can drop luggage at a sister property in La Fortuna. The host is super nice and gave us transportation from there. She can take USD as hotel payment if you don’t have local currency. She also provided water and beer in the fridge. There are some gaps in the doors and a window left open in the downstairs bath which may allow bugs to enter. The upstairs bathroom door doesn’t latch to close. The gravel path leading to the apartment makes it a bit hard to walk to/from. The collective sound of cicadas is very loud at times.
• Donna (9/5): Overall, a wonderful place mostly because of the garden and wildlife. - The wildlife viewable from the balcony was awesome. The location was great, and the king size bed was luxurious. Oh, and the hosts are super nice! The small pool is a bonus. The kitchen wasn’t really set up for cooking. Also the stairs are a little risky. Not for the elderly.
• David (10/5): A fine timing La Fortuna! - It is a lovely little place just off the main road and nearby town. The host and property owners were very responsive to questions and needs. I would stay here again.
• jessica (8/5): Bon accueil - La piscine et l’emplacement. La gentillesse d’Yvette Agencement du salon pas très bien optimisé Manque d’une table de salon.
• Jürg (10/5): -
• Michael (10/5): Schöne Unterkünfte, sauber, Ivette super. - Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft, alles sauber. Insbesondere die Ivette ist sehr freundlich. Wir wurden mit frischen Kokusnüssen begrüßt. Unser Navi hat uns irgendwie falsch gelotst. Wir wurden dann ohne Probleme kurzfristig abgeholt. Obwohl es kein Frühstück gab, haben wir morgens frisches Obst bekommen und noch kleine Snacks dazu.
• Peter (10/5): Fantastisch - Wir haben eine wunderbare Zeit in der Anlage verbracht. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft schön, man wähnt sich auch dank der Geräuschkulisse mitten im Dschungel. Die Aussicht vom Balkon auf den Vulkan Arenal ist einfach herrlich. Die Ausstattung des Apartments ist hervorragend, es fehlt an nichts. Wir haben jeden Morgen eine Box mit unglaublich leckeren Früchten erhalten. Als meine Tochter kurzzeitig krank geworden ist, haben sich die Gastgeber Ivette und Javier in wundervoller Weise um sie gekümmert. Dafür möchte ich mich noch einmal herzlich bedanken! Eine klare und uneingeschränkte Empfehlung für Arenal Getaway. Nichts zu beanstanden.
• Mandalyn (10/5): This jungle paradise was such a special stay, and we know we’ll look back on our time in La Fortuna with very fond memor - We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ivette and Javier’s Jungle paradise. Each morning began with breakfast on the balcony, taking in the beautiful views of Arenal Volcano while watching the birds—it was truly unforgettable. Evenings were just as perfect, with a comfortable bed surrounded by the view and soothing sounds of nature. Ivette and Javier were incredibly warm and welcoming, offering great local tips and generously helping with our plans and bookings. Communication was always easy and seamless, which we really appreciated. Take note of open shower in bathroom. (Gets buggy at night) This was such a special stay, and we know we’ll look back on our time in La Fortuna with very fond memories. The open air bathroom is great during the day but at night was a bit scary with bugs sneaking in. If you are not fond of open air bathroom please take note.
• Amy (10/5): It’s a piece of paradise. - This place is a dream! I liked everything about it. Place is very comfortable. Views amazing. Great bird watching! A toucan landed on the deck. Great pool area. Very friendly and helpful owners and staff. Only positives! I was sad to leave.
• Th.Stumpf (10/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): -
• Harry (10/5): Beautiful stay and a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica - Beautiful property in a great location. The host Yvette was very kind and even let me practice my bad Spanish with her! She met us at the property and showed us round, giving us a welcome drink which was a nice touch. We were delivered breakfast every morning which was really lovely, a mix of fruits and breads/pastries. The property itself is clean and spacious and was perfect for 2 people. Really nice balcony where you can watch the birds with a view of Arenal Volcano. Location is just outside of La Fortuna but a very quick drive in. There are also plenty of nice restaurants walkable from the property. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Arenal/La Fortuna!!! Nothing, it was perfect!
• Stevan (10/5): Perfect stay in La Fortuna - Hosts were fantastic, room was pristine
• Finn (10/5): - Wunderschöner Garten mit vielen Vögeln. Sehr schöne und saubere Unterkunft. Bestes Bett auf unserer Reise :)
• Thierry (10/5): Magnifique séjour à Arenal Gateway. Top 👍 - Tout. Un cadre super agréable en pleine nature, oiseaux, singes, grenouilles 🐸… un logement magnifique, des hôtes très sympathiques et de bon conseil. À proximité de la cascade de la Fortuna et de restaurants très sympas. Rien
• STUART (10/5): Fabulous tropical hideaway - Attractive duplex buildings set in beautiful gardens with a pool and jacuzzi. Ideal for relaxing after a day trekking. The owners are attentive and friendly living on site. A morning plate of fruit and bread was a nice touch. Local ubers made transport easy without a car.
• Pauline (9/5): Nice location, surrounded by nature - Secluded location. You are surrounded by nature. Many birds! The large windows and balconies allow you to really enjoy the nature around you. There was no table and chair inside for meals, only on the balcony. Since it was cooler and it rained a lot while we were there, we did not necessarily want to eat outside.
• Tim (10/5): - Very friendly and welcoming hosts, gave good recommendations and even brought us fresh fruit every morning. Beautiful place to stay, with a fantastic view on the volcano and many many colourful birds. Good location near la Fortuna. We will remember this place!
• Fraser (10/5): Great place, and great facilities - Loved that it was on a split level, and also the owners added some nice touches for our stay, and provided a lot of great recommendations The side road to get to the property is not the easiest to drive on
• Kirsten (10/5): So stelle ich mir Costa Rica Urlaub vor. - Alles, die Gastgeber sind absolut reizend. Man könnte den ganzen Tag auf dem Balkon sitzen und nach Tieren Ausschau halten. Die Appartements sind teilweise offen gehalten. Man fühlt sich hier an der ersten Sekunde extrem wohl. Ganz niedlicher, sehr sauberer Pool.
• Wei (10/5): - Everything is great. Very beautiful surroundings. The owner is very nice and helpful. Very comfortable stay. We booked from booking.com, the address there will take you to nowhere , so be sure to contact the host and get the exact address
• Claudia (9/5): -
• Sharon (10/5): Geweldig! - De locatie en de accommodatie waren geweldig. Het had alle faciliteiten, een groot bed en een heerlijk zwembad. De hosts waren erg aardig en stonden klaar meer een verfrissende kokosnoot bij aankomst. Ook kregen we tips voor de omgeving. Daarnaast zagen we in de tuin een 🦥 en verschillende vogels! -
• Leni Arias (10/5): - Ubicación Atención Privacidad Seguridad
• Bridget (9/5): -
• Rohan (8/5): Great stay in La Fortuna – easy, comfortable, and well-located! - We had a fantastic experience at Arenal Getaway. The location was perfect — close to everything in La Fortuna, and getting around with Uber was super easy and affordable. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, providing clear instructions that made check-in and our entire stay smooth and stress-free. Everything was exactly as described, and we felt well taken care of. Perfect spot for exploring the surrounding attractions. Would definitely stay here again!
• Giovana (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptional stay! The split level appartment was trully incredible- comfortable beds, small kitchen, hot tub in the garden and value for money!
• Carvajal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mariana (10/5): Our stay in this place was amazing, the house, the location, the host Elizabeth who was very kind , everything was 10 - We loved everything Nothing
• Sam (9/5): Nicely tucked away modern property with great hosts and everything you need. - Modern bungalows with all the amenities including A/C. Every morning you get a box of fresh fruit for breakfast by the hosts. The hosts are a wonderful couple and very helpful. There is a little pool and a jacuzzi on the properties well.
• Sara (10/5): Private and beautiful, but close to the town. Highly recommend - Property was beautiful. We saw more birds here than any paid excursion. Hosts were so kind and every recommendation they gave was excellent
• Zaid (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the fresh fruit served to us every morning. Very friendly and accommodating hosts!
• David (9/5): Superb - We got an amazing view of the volcano and many different types of bird came to visit. Small garden and pool and a hot tub, very tranquil place. Lovely hosts.
• Meagan (9/5): Lovely Garden Cottage just outside La Fortuna - It was a really stylish, clean, and comfortable garden cottage. It is 1 of 3 units set in a beautiful garden with a refreshing pool. The views from upstairs were amazing and one can see the volcano. There is a daily stocked bird feeder, and it was lovely to sit on the small balcony and watch multiple different birds visit. Ample parking is available. The hosts were very friendly and gave us fresh fruit and pastries each morning for breakfast. Check-in was a little tricky as I lost cell reception on the road up to the location, so I got a bit lost and then struggled to contact the host when getting to the gate. The host provides a picture of the road and of the gate, so just be sure you have the information before you leave an area of reception. The shower would be better if there were a shower curtain or a wall between it and the toilet.
• Debra (10/5): Beautiful getaway just outside of town. - Lovely hosts. Brought fresh fruit and pastry each morning! Also provided local coffee in a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Beautiful spot to sit and relax and enjoy the many birds that would come to feed. Nice pool for cooling off and a jacuzzi that we enjoyed for relaxing at night after hiking all day. Highly recommend.
• Terry (10/5): Exceptional - Really great apartments, stylish, clean, comfy beds well equipped. The location was just outside of the busy town, still close, but the gardens and pool were beautiful, and there were lots of cool birds around. Parking within the gated yard was a bonus. Host were great, luckily they spoke English so they were able to give us lots of recommendations.
• Bill (9/5): Superb -
• Robbert (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer! - The property is super clean and new and has an amazing garden with lots of birds. Breakfast was also excellent and communication with the host was smooth.
• Ball (10/5): Stay here if you want a relaxing stay with beautiful views and kind hosts! - The hosts Ivette and Javier were amazing hosts. They let us drop our bags off early and showed us around the property. They had amazing views to watch birds and other animals in the jungle near their home. They had a pool and a sauna however we did not use this but they looked nice! They had coffee each day and a fruit tray with little baked goods that were a nice touch! One of our friends left his expensive, filtered water bottle at their location and we reached out to them and they even shipped the water bottle to us at our next stop to make sure he had it for the rest of the trip. They were truly two amazing people and anyone would be lucky to stay at their place! Nothing, absolutely perfect!
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was wonderful. The hosts were amazing. Highly recommend. We saw about 20 different types of birds while sitting on our balcony for morning coffee.
• Mariana (10/5): A peaceful sanctuary with excellent hospitality! - It was better than expected! It was such a wonderful surprise to see how beautiful it was—like a sanctuary filled with colorful birds, tropical flowers, and other species. It was easy to get there by Uber, and if you wanted, you could walk to several natural tourist spots in the area. Coming from a busy, crowded city, arriving at this place was incredibly refreshing because everything was so comfortable. The bed was amazing, the apartment was well-equipped and spotless. There were plenty of cozy spots just to sit and enjoy watching the hummingbirds or the sunset. We made use of the BBQ and the jacuzzi. The staff was another highlight—they were incredibly kind and attentive. They even prepared fresh fruit for us in the mornings and had that genuine Pura Vida vibe. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it. It’s perfect for nature-conscious people who respect the environment. Everything was perfect
• Ruxandra (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay, super modern, with amazing views on the volcano and surrounding rain forest. Hosts were extremely welcoming and made us fresh fruit boxes every morning! Would 100% recommend!
• Robert (10/5): Very cosy stay next to La Fortuna - This was the best apartment "***bnb" experience in a long time! The hosts built a very beautiful and unique apartment 5 min away from La Fortuna Central. It was cosy, beautiful located in a living garden. We could see Tucans in the Trees! We were welcomed so friendly, that was beyond our expectations. I think we arrived as guests and left as friends, thank you! Parking was easy and gated on the property. Wifi was good. Climate controled. Somehow not much moscitos in November. Not really something negative to tell. The stairs for the "Maisonette" are a special piece of design and architecture and lifting the luggage might be harder than usual. I had no problem with it! Some shower glass might be a nice upgrade in the open shower bathroom.
• Jennifer (10/5): Wow!! Jungle life at its best! - Gorgeous property!! It’s like a jungle in there. We didn’t want to close the windows. The nature sounds were too spectacular. Difficult to locate but host was responsive.
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! The property is beautiful and the rental has everything we needed, plus so many things we didn't expect! The fruit basket every morning was perfect! The coffee and sugar, as well as a fully stocked kitchen was so nice. We loved the big windows, the outdoor space, and the shower. No complaints or anything I would change, except maybe a luggage rack to keep suitcases off the floor.
• Ronald (10/5): Beautiful accomodation with an amazing bedroom view. - The accomodation was very nice and clean. The outside bathroom and shower on the first floor was very special, on the ground floor there is another shower available as was a very nice outside whirlpool. The view from the bedroom is amazing, you wake up looking at the vulcano and directly into the surrounding trees with an abundance of birds and from our bedroom balcony we had the chance to spot a sloth who spend the whole morning there. Ivette and Xavier the hosts are very kind and each morning they made a small plate with fruit and bread to start the day. Nothing...
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. The accommodation was located in the jungle and the apartments very stylish and yet cozy. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming and we enjoyed our stay a lot. thank you
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very friendly and helpful we can recomend it to everyone you will have an awesome stay here in la fortuna. the appartment and the pool area is very clean and beautiful. It has everything that you need. They have 2 cute dogs who will welcome you.
