Absolutely amazing experience! The hotel was as good as we expected. They have a nice location and territory, you can relax by the pool, in the jacuzzi, or go around to different restaurants. But most of all we liked the staff in this hotel! They are so helpful, attentive, and friendly and try to do the best for their customers! If we go to this part of the island again we will definitely stay in this place ;)

Beautiful, quiet location on Lake Arenal. Loved the gorgeous views of the jungle and the sights and sounds of all the birds and animals around the hotel. Hosts Simon and Jo were incredibly charming, warm and generous, and gave some great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. And their wonderful dogs really made the stay feel like home. I was very sorry to leave!

Ian was so welcoming to his lovely property that was a lush and well tended garden with a variety of beautiful plants and trees located with a nice lake view. He also cares for a goat, Philomena, and other birds and small animals. The upstairs apartment where we stayed was comfortable, spacious, well stocked. Some wonderful little extras, fresh flowers sprinkled throughout, wine and a large sitting porch with great breezes to view toucans and other cool birds! We so enjoyed Ian’s tour around his property and learned so much. Definitely a highlight of our 3 week trip.

Everything! Great breakfast included, very helpful and courteous hosts, provided any and all information we needed during our stay. Our room was exceptional with a spacious balcony overlooking the rainforest. Felt like being in a treehouse with birds galore.
Not convenient for La Fortuna. It was a 20 min windy road drive each way. Nuevo Arenal was really noisy with dirt bikes and cars driving through. City has little to offer as far as food and entertainment.

The town is beautiful and located in a beautiful lush area.
The town is beautiful and located in a beautiful lush area. There are cute little restaurants and sodas. The locals were very friendly. My only complaint would be that the restaurants and stores etc close too early. It was hard finding something to eat/drink later in the evening

No power in the room the morning of our departure and no return call. Wine undrinkable. Bunk bed not for adults. Mattress very thin. One person cooking and cashiering for restaurant. Hope everything works because no one is coming. Claimed power outage but noticed it only affected our 2 units. Wiring looked suspect in our room.

The road between Nuevo Arenal and the Arenal Volcano is gorgeous, true jungle scenery complete with lovely views and roadside animal encounters. The resort is 8 miles from town, but shares space with two other dining establishments as well as a quick shop for essentials. Spend a week, sign-up for some outdoor adventures, especially by visiting the Arenal Observatory Park and the Mystico Hanging Bridges naturalist tour. You'll have truly lived the Monteverde experience!

The area is beautiful with mountain and lake views.
The area is beautiful with mountain and lake views. People are very friendly. There are many great restaurants and eating spots to enjoy, including a brewery/restaurant on the lake. We would love to go back. You need to have a car to see this area of Costa Rica. Getting around was easy - the main roads are good, but the side roads are rough. We did take some drives into the "country", and saw some interesting areas and also great views. The climate was very comfortable - mostly in the 70's deg. F. We didn't near air conditioning in our rooms.

Our accommodation at Agua Inn was excellent - great hosts, wonderful breakfasts. We ate at several local restaurants and enjoyed some great meals, including the local Costa Rica style tacos. Favourite places were The Gingerbread House restaurant, Moya's Place in Nuevo Arenal, and Lake Arenal Hotel and Brewery on the other side of the lake at Tilaran, where we ate lunch and tasted their beer and cocktails, Le Bistro at Hotel La Mansion on Rd 142, where we celebrated my husband's birthday - wonderful view of the lake from there. There are so many more good places to eat and enjoy a view - too many to list here. On one of our outings, we took the coffee and cocoa tour at Don Juan Tours, Monteverde. Four of us had our own tour guide, who was most excellent, and he led us through the gardens, demonstrated how to grind coffee beans and we drank the coffee. Each of us actually made our own chocolate, following his instructions from grinding the cocoa beans, to mixing in other ingredients to our liking. We also had hot cocoa. So fresh! They have a nice store there as well where you can purchase coffee beans and other souvenirs. I purchased the Peaberry Coffee Beans which are 100% pure coffee Arabica Costa Rican and some pottery espresso cups, just like the ones we were served coffee in during the tour. You definitely should rent a car if you are travelling to this area of Costa Rica - there is so much to see and do while there. It's easy to get around - the main roads are paved, but you can certainly find some very rough roads if you venture into the countryside, which we did, travelling up and down and around the mountains, taking in the full flavour of the area.
Carlos and Werner are exceptional, warm and helpful hosts! We’d spent 3 nights in Nuevo Arenal, Werner and Carlos provided us with a lot of informative tips on activities - thank you again! The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the communication with the hosts was quick and efficient. PLUS Carlos is a passionate cook and we had THE best breakfast in Costa Rica! We would love to come back some day!
Beautiful, quiet location on Lake Arenal. Loved the gorgeous views of the jungle and the sights and sounds of all the birds and animals around the hotel.

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 !
The Location of this hotel is just wonderful. It is a bit in the middle of nowhere, but you can reach Nuevo Arenal within a few minutes by car. It is very calm there and taking a swim with all those beautiful plants around is very cool.
Breakfast on the balcony is also a little highlight, it was tasty and the view is stunning.
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.
The property was charming, with lots of birds, animals and insects - including fireflies! One of the hosts (Rob) was super friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient to La Fortuna, Rio Celeste and near some beautiful views of Lake Arenal. Drive to the property was so scenic!
We could not have asked for more.
Carlos, our host, was super helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast was amazing, the place was clean, quiet, bed and pillows were comfortable, near facilities and we could park our motorcycles in a sheltered parking spot.
Definitely strongly recommended.
Great place to stop over between La Fortuna and Tilaran/Monteverde. Bus stops right outide the hotel. Nice bright room, garden setting with views, many birds, good bed, great shower. Friendly owner, early check in was possible. Very nice stay.
This place is fantastic. The room is exceptional, the wildlife and birds are fantastic, and the food is beyond words. Be prepared to have the best food of your visit to Costa Rica, and to have a fantastic time with a spectacular staff.
The host was fabulous and the staff was excellent. The location is convenient to many day trips and there are many good restaurants nearby. The included breakfasts were traditional and delicious. Highly recommend.
The breakfast was very good. We loved the view from the room and the decoration. There were plenty of birds in the hotel grounds including toucans. It was very relaxing and we would certainly stay here again.
Great hotel by Lake Arenal in a small little village. Great vues, very attentive staff. Away from the La Fortuna crowds.
The staff is very attentive.
The food at the Bistro is really good.
We were surprised to encounter more than 80 species of birds on and near the property. Beautiful views of Lake Arenal, and the food was superb as well as the people who worked there.
Excellent budget hotel! Clean and spacious room, fantastic views, nice veranda, all blissfully quiet. Friendly and helpful service and lovely breakfast.
