YOUR HOST

Greetings, I'm Diego Blanco, the Founder & Host of Concierge Arenal Rental Services & Arenal Heights Villas, with over 23 years of experience in Costa Rica's tourism industry.

Raised near the captivating Arenal Volcano, I pursued studies in tropical biology and business at the University of Costa Rica. My journey in tourism began during college, where I worked as a cruise ship tour guide, igniting a passion for showcasing Costa Rica's natural wonders.

Following graduation, I dedicated myself to becoming a full-time nature guide and later transitioned into roles as a Tour Conductor for prestigious agencies like Abercrombie & Kent, Condé Nast, Wilderness Travel, Virtuoso Agencies, Geographic Expeditions, and others. These diverse experiences provided me with a profound understanding of service, luxury travel and hotel management.

Throughout my career, I've held various leadership positions, including Product Manager, Operations Manager, Hotels Director, Operations Director, and Sales Director for international corporations. I had the privilege of overseeing renowned entities such as Costa Rica Expeditions, a leading Tour Operator in Costa Rica and Latin America.
Additionally, I directed the esteemed Tortuga Lodge & Gardens and Monteverde Lodge & Gardens, where I had the invaluable opportunity to learn from Michael Kaye, a pioneer known as the Godfather of Ecotourism in Latin America.

After the pandemic, I embarked on a new chapter by co-found Concierge Arenal Rental Services & Arenal Heights Villas. Presently, we are dedicated to crafting 8 luxurious villas in the breathtaking Arenal Volcano area and managing 14 properties through Concierge Arenal services.

Our mission remains steadfast: to provide exceptional, personalized service, offering guests unforgettable experiences amidst Costa Rica's stunning natural beauty. Sustainability and the highest standards of hospitality drive our endeavors, ensuring every guest's stay is nothing short of extraordinary.

Why did you choose this neighborhood?

As a child, I fondly recall visiting the very location where Arenal Heights now stands. It was a cherished tradition for families in the area to gather on Sundays and journey to Arenal Volcano to witness its flowing lava and revel in its natural splendor. These Sunday picnics were commonplace, and locals affectionately dubbed this spot the "lookout fields."
In the 1980s, before any development took place, the customary route included a visit to the thermal spring river near Tabacon Resort, now affectionately known as "el Chollin," followed by a barbecue at the lookout fields that lasted until sunset. These memories from my childhood planted the seed of a dream within me: to one day create a tourism project in this very area.
Today, I am thrilled to have turned that dream into reality. Arenal Heights stands as a testament to my lifelong aspiration to share the awe-inspiring beauty of Arenal Volcano with the world.

What makes your property unique?

With over two decades of immersion in the tourism and hotel industry, I envisioned a development tailored to provide the utmost comfort and luxury for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the magnificence of Arenal Volcano. It's not just about the location; it's about the meticulous attention to amenities, villa design, and the overall experience tailored to cater to global travelers.

Our project isn't merely a collection of houses listed on platforms like VRBO; rather, it's a meticulously crafted endeavor designed specifically for tourism rentals. Every facet of our project, from the layout of the villas to the incorporation of luxurious features, has been thoughtfully planned with the appreciation of Arenal Volcano's breathtaking backdrop.

From the panoramic views and private pools to the indulgent hot tubs and seamless connectivity, every detail contributes to creating a truly unforgettable experience. With top-of-the-line mattresses and bedding ensuring a restful night's sleep, our property goes beyond just offering accommodation; it provides an immersive and unforgettable journey into the heart of Arenal's natural splendor.

What sets our property apart is not only its prime location but also the meticulous consideration given to every aspect, all tailored with the discerning needs of international travelers in mind. It's this dedication to excellence and understanding of our guests' desires that make our property truly exceptional.
