It was a unique place to stay, not far from Fortuna but it was away from the large groups of tourists. The ducks that lived on the little lake there were good at patrolling the property.

Cute room and had all the amenities, however, had some issues getting hot water in the shower (not sure if it was user error or not) and when it rained (which it did a lot) the sound was very loud under the tin roof.

Great property for experiencing wildlife. As soon as we unpacked, we could see about 5 different bird species eating friut from trees right near our deck. It was amazing!
The owner Roy was super helpful and had a big heart. We were hit by a motorcycle at the entrance of the hotel in a dark night. Roy stayed with all night to calm us down, handle the issue as translator, as coordinator guiding us through the whole process and brought us to the police station to report. We wouldn’t have known what to do without him. Big thank you Roy! The hotel itself has a lovely natural view, room is very clean and has everything you need.

Cabañas del Lago was spectacular. We had a room right on the water. The nature was all around us and we couldn’t have been happier. We felt so at home and the amenities were spot on. Definitely the place to stay in Arenal.

Loved our stay…. Close to road so loud when trucks pass, nothing owners can do. Close to lots of great restaurants and activities. Bonus that Tarzan swing up the road. Owners very easy to communicate with and accommodating to early check in.
