everything was excellent. Staff was fabulous and very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious and clean. Bed is very comfortable! Breakfast was excellent and the guys there are wonderful. Would highly recommend Arenal Waterfall Lodge.
The cottage is tucked in nature. I stayed in the two bedroom villa. It was clean and had the basic amenities to make your stay comfortable.
The staff was very helpful too.
If you want to enjoy a quiet nature stay, this is the place. I also saw a lot of beautiful birds near our cottage in the morning.
The entire place was spotless, floors gleaming. The bed sheets were crisp and all the surrounding windows created an amazing and very private view. Great wifi and amazing hot showers.
The breakfasts at Geckos were hearty and delicious, such a warm and welcoming space and Charlie's homemade jam, juices, hot sauce, and mojitos were the best! We loved it so much we booked a cooking class with Scott Alan. It was so much fun and is definitely one of the highlights of our time here in Costa Rica.
The location was good to, we walked to the Fortuna Waterfall and we were close to coffee/ chocolate tours, and the free passes to the hanging bridges was such a great added value.
The only thing that could be better is the cookware, but then there's so many great places to eat out at!
The location can’t be beat. Private an secluded. Definitely need a 4x4 to get up here. Villa was huge! Great views and nice and quiet. Will definitely return

I enjoyed staying here. Maximo was very helpful and provided us with everything we needed. The room needed some repairs though. Breakfast was really far from the hotel and wasn’t great honestly. Location is great. Right next to the waterfall, you can walk!
This beautiful property is located just a couple minutes from the La Fortuna Waterfall via a private driveway. It is nestled in the gorgeous lush mountainside and it is so so quiet and DARK. Not to worry - there is a security staff on site 24 hours a day. We checked in late well after dark. Security led us via motorbike to our villa which had amazing views
Valeria checked us in. She's amazing. Room is clean and has a beautiful view. We had a minor issue with no water in our lodge but the admins got to work on it right away. Very quiet, at the base of the volcano and a 12 minute walk from the La Fortuna waterfall. Kind of has a log cabin feel with beautiful views. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. Large rooms, individual bathrooms on each side and a mini kitchen (fridge, microwave, coffee maker). Great for families. We'd stay again

We stayed in one of the villas, clean, great view, nice small kitchen, for the price great.
Such an amazing place. We loved the cottage space, pool and the view of the town was unreal. I already miss it a few days later and want to go back. Amazing place for a family to stay and experience nature. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay with this property. We had a small problem and management was great, very quick to correct and very nice. Would recommend, especially villa 13 and 14- both had good pools and amazing views!
Great customer service from Ricardo and Max, they helped me booking my tour with the best tour guides. The rooms were cleaned and breakfast was tasty

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff was very friendly and helpful, but the room wasn't very cozy at all. The sheets and blankets are very thin and the room always had a chill to it even when the ac unit was adjusted. There are no rugs on the floor. The windows have curtains, but there are no blinds or curtains on the glass door so others can see right into the room (we put up a sheet). And unfortunately, the pool was out of order so we weren't able to use it. Overall it was a decent stay, but I probably wouldn't go back.

It’s very rustic, and the staff were awesome about giving information, and help.
It’s a quaint, rustic lodge that is on a great location and some great views especially of the volcano. For the price, you can’t go wrong if you’re looking for lodging that’s economical.
