Mountain Retreat
The property is beautifully situated, comfortable and has everything one needs for a stay. The owners live on site and are very attentive and kind but not intrusive. It was well placed for exploring the Arenal area but be aware that the road from Nuevo Arenal is extremely pot holded and the 8 km takes 35 minutes to drive.

Kids loved the pool! Great location all within an hour of Rio Celeste, chocolate tour, sloth sanctuary, and Lake Arsenal!
