Clean stay with lagoon view
Overall comfortable stay with lagoon view. Very clean! Way less mosquitos than I expected. We liked waking to fish and turtles and going to bed with frog and gecko sounds. The building itself does smell humid… because it is not totally sealed from the outside. We were also visiting during the wet season (end of July). Turn the AC on while indoors and no problem. Close to the rivers with hot springs, the hot spring resorts, and restaurant. You need a car tho.

Loved our stay…. Close to road so loud when trucks pass, nothing owners can do. Close to lots of great restaurants and activities. Bonus that Tarzan swing up the road. Owners very easy to communicate with and accommodating to early check in.

Beautiful atmosphere, good property
Very serene atmosphere with lake, ducks and greenery. Very good host who lives on property. He even provided firm mattress as I didn’t like that couch mattress.
Ample parking
The only issue was tin roof which made lot of noise during rain but after one day you stopped noticing it haha

Cabañas del Lago was spectacular. We had a room right on the water. The nature was all around us and we couldn’t have been happier. We felt so at home and the amenities were spot on. Definitely the place to stay in Arenal.

Absolutely beautiful property! We sat on the front deck and watched turtles swim by every morning. Was a bit worried the water would smell but it didn’t at all. It was like your own little private sanctuary. Would stay here again!!

Nice hotel but unfriendly management
We enjoyed the stay overall but it was raining all the time and the roof above than bedroom and kitchen was leaking. We had to move the beds. Also, the owner tried to charge us $30 extra per night for kids, even though the property was clearly described as “family friendly” and “kids stay free” on the booking website. Will not come back.

We love this place!
We had so much fun here, and it was a wonderful place to come and relax after a day of activities. Very unique cabin, with porch right on the pond. Friendly ducks, dogs, and it was great hearing all of the different bird calls. Very close to restaurants and things, but felt remite and private. Comfortable bed. Only complaint was the small bathroom without much room to put things.

Super unique and enjoyable place to stay. Even has kitchen if you’re inclined to make your own meals (or just coffee), but town is so close with tons of great dining options. Loved the lagoon which is literally at your door step. It rained constantly for us, but didn’t care. The sound of huge raindrops on the tin roof was actually pretty soothing. Bonus - the Tarzan swing into the river is just up the road.

This was a great place if you’re looking for a safe, quiet, and cozy little place to sleep at. Cabins by the water in the woods was very relaxing. AC worked great and there was hot water. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly. There was a Roku in the room with access to Netflix and other apps. If you’re looking for more of a resort feel with pool and bar and stuff this is not the place. I would definitely stay here again.

3 night stay
I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting La Fortuna. Marcos was great and provided great information to enjoy our stay. The cabin was beautiful and very relaxing, it definitely made you feel like you’re in the jungle. The city center was a few minutes down the road, just be careful for how dark it gets when driving around. I would stay here again and everyone say hi to Sammy :)

Cute little cabins near a small man made lake. Quiet and peaceful at night. The staff and rooms were pretty nice. Included a small kitchen and fridge and nice AC. Only issues would be that the place is a bit far from town. If you don’t have a car it’ll be a hike. Also lots of bugs and the rooms aren’t sealed completely so they can get into the rooms even if you keep the doors and windows closed. Still a nice stay id recommend it.

We booked two rooms - one on the lake and one inside. We were offered two rooms - none of them on the lake. The rooms were in opposite directions and my kids had to stay far away from us. They complained that they had a lot of noise coming from the busy road and their neighbors. The owner is very responsive and tried to adjust our rooms but couldn't. Felt very disappointed that we couldn't stay on the lake because that was the main reason I booked the property.
