Fantastic stay in La Fortuna
We had a wonderful week staying at the Arenal Family Home! The property managers were very responsive and helpful in booking any of our daily adventures. The home was clean and comfortable and very close walking distance to downtown La Fortuna. The owner, Guiselle was very kind and helpful as well. She hosted our family for a traditional Costa Rian dinner and cooking class which was so much fun and delicious ! We loved our time in La Fortuna and would recommend this home as a great place to stay.

Relaxing, peaceful ending to 2 weeks of Travel through Costa Rica
The house was spotless, the grounds were lush and landscaping was so beautiful! Nice pool area to cool off in and spectacular views of the Arena Volcano from the upper decks! The company that manages the Arenal Family Home was helpful, informative and took care of all our tours, shuttles and restaurant reservations! We went to Baldi Hot Springs...$48 included the many pools and a great buffet dinner!!! You can walk to the grocery store or town in 10-15 minutes. There are restaurants in walking distance (Tiquicia was excellent and reasonably priced) The owners live behind the house and have a dining room for guests if you want to stay home for any meal. We ordered the breakfast on our last day and it was one of our favourite meals! Giselle made the best beans and rice and cooked pancakes over a wood stove! Our group of 8 enjoyed it!!! So delicious. I would highly recommend this house for cleanliness, comfort, good wifi, location and potential for so many tours in the area. Perfect ending to our trip! Love La Fortuna!
