We loved everything . This place is excellent . I’d give it 20 out of 10 if I could . It’s clean , quiet , you have neighbours but it’s all very discreet . The pool is fabulous . So many birds and humming birds every where . It does not have air con but it is not needed . Love this place .

Communication prior to arrival was excellent. There are two markets and a gas station very close by for all your basic needs. Also there was a great bar and restaurant called moyas and a german bakery that was fantastic. House had just enough things to be able to cook for our family of 7. It's about a 45-60 min drive to arenal national park and la fortuna. Showers were hot and house had all our basic needs.

The views were just amazing. We woke up the first morning and was not able to see the lake at all. But by the second morning, we could see the lake, mountain ranges, windmills in the distance, it was beautiful. The house was cute and well appointed. Beds were comfortable. Having the pool there during the hot days was awesome. The pool was the perfect place to cool off.

Set in Tronadora and only 43 km from Sky Adventures Monteverde, Lakeview Arenal 1 Bed Suite, Communal Pool & Gym - 2024 Traveller Awards Winner offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated holiday home is located 39 km from Sky Adventures Arenal and 45 km from Selvatura Adventure Park. The holiday home features a pool with lake views, spa facilities and full-day security.

We loved how peaceful, classy and clean the studio is! Great amenities and finishes and the bed was really comfortable. The setting is beautiful and the use of the clubhouse with gym, pool and game room was awesome! The Monday morning community breakfast was tasty and a good chance to commune with other residents and guests. The hosts Ian and Marcela are personable, available and went out of there way to make sure we were comfortable. One of the highlights of a great stay was an amazing reflexology session with Mariela. We also took advantage of a massage in their spa, which was super affordable. The drive from town to their suite was on a short dirt road with great views of the lake, so we chose to buy some food in town to cook in their amply supplied kitchen rather than drive back and forth.

    Excellent location, Gorgeous views and lots of beautiful birds around property. Breakfast & Dinner were great and a great value. The cottage was dated but it a great bargain and a gorgeous location- Had nice little deck & side semi private sitting area for shaded reading & relaxing. The rooms on the main bldg are much nicer, newer and surely more expensive but again our cottage was great & totally met all needs. Our hosts were really gracious also

    Wonderful place, great people and a nice pool and wonderful grounds. The place is nice and quiet with well appointed rooms, I plan to return to the lodge next year if possible. Lots of restaurants near by but sadly the lodge restaurant was closed .

    Stay in a cabin at the top of a beautiful sloping lawn and garden, views of the Lago. Hear howler monkeys and see toucans. The place has an “Emily Bronte” or “Secret garden” once famous, now forgotten feel. Absolutely incredible. Poke off into the forest and see if you can find the hidden and abandoned swimming hole. The inn keeper with arthritic hands feeds banana to the Aracari bird with the broken beak. Bird watching at breakfast is a joy; be sure to “tip” the birds so they get lots of fruit to eat.

    Location was secluded and superb particularly sitting. On balcony over looking mountains and lake felt like you had it all to yourself. Views from swimming pool and hot tub breathtaking. Staff wonderful particularly Christopher very helpful. Would like an umbrella left on balcony as other places did would have been handy as weather very changeable in these parts.

    We felt like home! A place, where we found new energy and positive spirit. Super comfortable and also very well designed. Away from the rush of La Fortuna, but a short ride. Beautiful countryside. If you are a nature lover as we are, you can spot a big colony of montezuma birds right from your window (not noisy). Mountain view from the terase. Super helpful and friendly owners. We didnt want to ever leave.

    The people at La Mansion were super and the rooms/cabins were vey nice , roomy and comfortable. Breakfasts were good. The location is a little out of the way but with a great view over the lake. We had a problem with the room when we arrived and were at a loss as to how to deal with it, but the manager stepped up big time and everything worked out perfectly. Thanks Caesar! Also great service by Christopher.
