This unique place has been built with great care and has everything you need and the most wonderful views . sitting on your private balcony you see incredible sunsets and hear a wonderful soundscape of wildlife . The owners are lovely with great advice about what to do in the area and the breakfasts are great too . highly recommended to get away from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna.

The location of Agua Inn is magical: fully immersed in nature, an hour away from the touristy La Fortuna. The garden is a colourful piece of art, and the river makes it even more peaceful. The staff is amazing, Trent has been very accommodating with our late check in. Breakfast was really good, we had something different everyday and the portions were pretty generous too ( typical Costa Rican breakfast with eggs/ beans/ carbs + fruit). The room was big and cozy and got cleaned with care everyday. The pets of the house are the cherry on top: 2 dogs and a parrot named Pepa. Agua Inn definitely stole our hearts, we hope to be back very soon!

The property was amazing, we were surrounded by birds and it felt like we were in the middle of the forest but with all the luxuries of the modern world. There is a pond were we swam and kayaked in during our stay. We saw multiple toucans in the tree next to the restaurant. Our son did not want to leave when we had to leave to go to our new location. I wish we had more days to spend here!

Rancho Margot is more than a hotel, it's a community and an sustainable project. For us it was truly an inspiring experience as we could witness first-hand the challenges and rewards that living off-the-grid entail. Rancho Margot's team has accomplished plenty like regenerating a portion of the forest and they invite you to learn about their sustainability practices through their tours and experiences. You can also just enjoy nature, take a hike or swim on their natural pools. It's secluded for a good reason, and we didn't have any reason to leave. We stayed 3 nights but would love to come back!

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing. Both the volcano and the lake offer many chances for impressive photographs. The town has the necessities that a visitor might need. Restaurants serve good food at good prices.

Everything was great,

Everything was great, only down side is the busy narrow road around the town. Outer locations were quieter! We Loved Nuevo Arenal. It is a quaint little town about 40 min from Arenal Town. Although you can not see the Volcano from there, there are Beautiful views of Lake Arenal.. Great Restaurants and People.

Not convenient for La Fortuna.

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
