We had a fantastic stay at Casa Ceiba in El Castillo. The view of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal is absolutely incredible—easily the highlight of the property. We spent so much time enjoying the outdoor space, especially the pool and hot tub, which were perfect after long days of exploring.The house itself was very comfortable and well maintained. The A/C worked great (which we definitely appreciated), and everything was clean and easy to use. The location felt private and peaceful, but still close enough to La Fortuna for activities.Overall, this was a perfect home base for our trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

This property was perfect for our group of 5. Lots of room. Had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were nice to have after a long day of sight seeing. Check in was easy. If we had any questions, our host Jim, was easy to reach. Stephanie, who lives nearby and takes care of the property was also available if we needed anything. Definitely recommend renting a 4x4 as some of the roads can be challenging but that just added to the adventure! There are both grocery stores and restaurants close by. The town of La Fortuna was not too far away. Saw lots of Toucans around the property as well as numerous other birds. There was even a big frog on the grounds we saw each night. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others. Would love to come back one day!

It was a great fit for our family. Beautiful view and we were able to see Toucans. Walking distance to a cute little restaurant. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful. Host was super helpful with suggestions of where to get groceries, food and with excursions. My only suggestion is to make sure you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

The house was simply amazing and our host was helpful, communicative and went above and beyond to ensure a good stay. The photos do not do justice to the inside of the home and it's cleanliness. The location is remote enough that you feel like a local and can get out of the crowds and hustle or La Fortuna, but close enough to get to activities in a timely manner. The home was well stocked with clean towels and bedding and the rooms and amenities were just as described, yet better!I cannot recommend this property enough. We were only a family of three but could easily have invited several friends. Perfect for large families!

Beautiful views of the lake and surrounding area. The property was well maintained and very safe. It had a well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels for showers and poolside. Plenty of room for gathering inside and out. The pool and hot tub was a welcomed addition. Private balconies for each bedroom. It was absolutely amazing!

Great property and location

My wife and I stayed here with my parents and my brother and the space was perfect for us. The pool and hot tub were great and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The road up the hill to the property can seem a little intimidating at first but it's really not bad at all. The location is nice and secluded and close enough to La Fortuna without being too far. Overall we loved our stay here

Beautiful location over seeing the landscape, volcano and lake. We enjoyed everyday of our stay. Great location, enjoy the pool everyday. The rooms were very nice and had ac, fortunately we didn’t need to really use them. Sliding doors made it nice to open and get natural air to come in and flow throughout the house. Great hot water and pressure. Loved this place…
