The spacious guest house features a cable flat-screen TV. This guest house is non-smoking and soundproof.

Parque Viva is 11 km from the guest house, while Parque Diversiones is 12 km from the property. Juan Santamaría International Airport is 5 km away. Thomas is an amazing host and the property is very beautiful and well maintained. Thomas will go extra mile to tend to guests needs and his father dropped me at the airport at 3.30 am in the morning for a nominal charge. The place is secure and pristine. Highly recommended if you want to crash one night here before your flight.

Situated in Fortuna, 2.7 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, Chongos Place features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property is set 4 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, 19 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park and 21 km from Sky Adventures Arenal. This pet-friendly inn also has free WiFi. Stayed here two nights and it was a perfect relaxing spot. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed in the small kitchen. The bed is comfortable with good quality sheets and blankets. There is a TV with Netflix for the evenings and the wifi works well. AC is cool and shower is hot. The grounds are beautiful and the small pool was refreshing. The weather was cloudy most of the time we stayed but we did get a quick peek of the volcano. It’s RIGHT THERE. What a beautiful view! I spent a lot of time reading on the small terrace and bird watching. It is a bit out of La Fortuna, but we had a rental car and it was nice to stay away from the hustle and bustle.

Featuring pool views, Sueño Río Celeste Boutique B&B features accommodation with balcony, around 14 km from Rio Celeste Waterfall. Each guest at the 3-star property can enjoy mountain views from the rooms, and has access to an outdoor pool and to a hot tub. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Loved the location, the "zen" vibe, the beautiful gardens, the attention to detail paid to the amenities in the individual villas, the fire that was lit for breakfast in the morning on the gorgeous outdoor covered eating space, the delicious and healthy breakfasts, the extraordinary wildlife that was so abundant and made it difficult for me to focus on eating my breakfast lol, the walking path surrounding the property, the approachability of the owners, the friendliness of their staff, their obvious love and appreciation for nature, their surroundings, their community and CR. Proximity to Bijigua and Rio Celeste is perfect.
