Peñas Blancas Arenal Eco Zoo Hotels

"The property was exquisite. 360 of incredible views. We enjoyed using the hot tub and extensive balcony at night overlooking the volcano and the covered outdoor spaces in the morning enjoying our coffee and nature. We liked that it was far enough away from the busy town of La Fortuna to get the peace, tranquility, and breathtaking wildlife while also being close enough to the Hot Springs, attractions, etc. The home itself was practical for us as we had seven people: two couples and three young adults. Everyone had their own room and bathroom, which was a plus. Definitely recommend!"

"Really love the location! So clean and easy to prepare meals. "

"We enjoyed our time at Encantada Guest House and the ElCastillo area. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, with an extraordinary birding experience, this is it. The house is perfectly outfitted and comfortable, the grounds are gorgeous and the owner and staff are easily reached for any questions. The area is great with lots of great restaurants and friendly locals. We will most certainly be back."

"The home was lovely and the view was stunning. Communication was great and the local host, Erica, was outstanding!"

"Perfect sanctuary! A place to disconnect from the noise and tourism. Morning yoga! Guided evening nature walk! Hot tub! The food is excellent and the staff were super friendly and helpful. A true blessing! 🙏❤️🇨🇷🕉️ Pura Vida!"

"We had some issues with dogs barking and bugs, but you are in the country. The hot tub, pool, outdoor sitting, and breakfast made were awesome. Beautiful property!! "

"Beautiful home and patient, wonderful host. We got lost and host showed up to take care of me. "

"The roof was good and staff was welcoming "

"We really enjoyed the quiet village and the house's amazing views of the volcano and lake! We saw beautiful birds everywhere. Loved the swings and the 3rd floor lookout! So peaceful. The only drawbacks were, one night the neighborhood dogs barked for an hour and we had a little trouble finding the house but Erika went out of her way to talk us through it and had her daughter meet us! Also, the first and second floor are only connected by outdoor steps. It was great for us because our teens stayed downstairs and loved it. (But with younger kids this may be an issue) We met Lilander at a stable close by and had an amazing horseback ride to a waterfall! Highly recommend this place!"
