We absolutely loved Lake Gardens! More beautiful than the photos! The breakfast was incredible. Marcela was so kind and helpful and very quick to respond.

I loved the location and the villa we had. We were a day late, but had a wonderful and comfortable stay.

This property was lovely! Wonderful host, easy to get a hold of, clean accommodations and spectacular view!

The villa was fantastic and had a great view of the lake and hillside. We found it to be clean and modern with plenty of room. We spent every morning on our private patio and planned our day. While watching all the birds and wildlife. Service was perfect, we ordered food a few times and it was not only yummy and fresh but also brought right to our front door very promptly. Everyone was friendly and accommodating.

The property is amazing, gorgeous, and there were new delights every day. Plus, Marcela has a custom 'map' of activities and sights in each bungalow. She and her family were very responsive and helpful. The birds and critters that visit are better entertainment than any nature TV show! Sadly, we did not experience howler monkeys (one showed up right after we left - bummer) but we had wild turkeys - and brightly colored birds of every size and shape. And, her on site food service is great!

Such a beautiful property and view. We loved having breakfast ready each morning and sitting on the veranda enjoying the sound of birds and distant cows, monkeys and chickens. So many great spots to visit nearby too. Marcella the host provides driving directions to everything and is such a nice person. We felt right at home and hope to return. The temperature there in early January was perfect- 70’s and very comfortable at night.

Our family of 4 truly enjoyed staying at this property. Stand-alone villa with all conveniences needed to cook. Great, elevated views of Lake Arenal and lovely grounds. Morning coffee on the lounge chairs on the front patio while bird-watching. Doesn’t get much better 😊. Marcela was a great host and super-responsive. She helped us with many ideas for local activities along with personal recommendations. All around great!

Exactly what we needed.

My daughter and I visited CR for 10 days and this was our first location for 3 nights. Marcela was there in the rain waiting for us to check in after driving from San Jose. Was very nice having somebody there to show us around and explain things even though it was after dark before we got there. Marcela also sent me tons of local info with tours, restaurants, coffee shops, basically everything wr would need. The house was clean and up to date, the grounds were absolutely stunning and I thought we picked a great location between the two national parks nearby. We would do bfast every morning (highly recommend!) at the house on the front patio looking out at the birds, monkeys and the volcano in the background. We then would spend all day out exploring and return after dark. So we didnt use the pool etc, but it looked clean and well kept and they were even putting in an additional deck with bar at the pool for future visits! Was definetly satisfied and happy with our choice to stay here! Thanks so much, we will return soon!

We highly recommend this Appartment’s in Nuevo Arenal. Everything you need is available and if you need something special, Marcela will bring it. Furthermore we got so many tipps and recommends what to do and where to go. So we enjoyed the days here a lot. Many thanks to Marcela for this nice time !

Marcela was an amazing hostess providing a great checkin experience and giving me advice on local attractions.

Tres chouette location. La vue est incroyable et nous avons été reçu très chaleureusement et la propriétaire est très attentionnée et réactive ! Encore merci !

Marcela was very helpful in helping us plan our trip. The location was ideal for us and the accommodation was perfect! The beds were comfy too! I plan to come back to visit again.

Marcela is a wonderful hostess and breakfast was fantastic! Clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Great bird watching, too.

I can’t say enough about the place and the host . 5 Stars ⭐️ Plus . Very peaceful, food was great . My kids waited on their dinner to be ready every night . Views are amazing . Highly recommended

The owner was a gracious hostess. She really took care of our needs. The number of birds we saw from our front porch was astonishing.

Marcela made the stay enjoyable. Very helpful with suggestions and directions to restaurants and sites. Breakfast on the veranda was excellent.

A great place in good location.
