The spacious guest house features a cable flat-screen TV. This guest house is non-smoking and soundproof.

Parque Viva is 11 km from the guest house, while Parque Diversiones is 12 km from the property. Juan Santamaría International Airport is 5 km away. I only had a quick overnight as I was catching a flight the next morning, so I didn't have much time to explore the area, but the place itself was fabulous. I could have stayed a week!

Situated in Fortuna, 2.7 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, Chongos Place features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property is set 4 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, 19 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park and 21 km from Sky Adventures Arenal. This pet-friendly inn also has free WiFi. Stayed here two nights and it was a perfect relaxing spot. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed in the small kitchen. The bed is comfortable with good quality sheets and blankets. There is a TV with Netflix for the evenings and the wifi works well. AC is cool and shower is hot. The grounds are beautiful and the small pool was refreshing. The weather was cloudy most of the time we stayed but we did get a quick peek of the volcano. It’s RIGHT THERE. What a beautiful view! I spent a lot of time reading on the small terrace and bird watching. It is a bit out of La Fortuna, but we had a rental car and it was nice to stay away from the hustle and bustle.

At the inn, each room comes with a patio with a garden view. Every room has a private bathroom equipped with a shower and free toiletries, while certain rooms here will provide you with a kitchen fitted with a fridge. Amazing host!! Super friendly and helpful. Location is convenient, just be mindful of the roads around rio Celeste. Room as expected and the AC is a huge plus.

Featuring pool views, Sueño Río Celeste Boutique B&B features accommodation with balcony, around 14 km from Rio Celeste Waterfall. Each guest at the 3-star property can enjoy mountain views from the rooms, and has access to an outdoor pool and to a hot tub. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Me and my family spent 11 days in Costa Rica, staying in 9 different places and this hotel was the best I had during the entire trip. Spacious bungalow, very clean everywhere. Extremely nice hosts and a great breakfast with hand-prepared meals. Delicious granola and wonderfully fruity homemade smoothie. And if we add an evening in the jacuzzi, and in the morning a whole lot of birds: ten toucans, chakalakas, Asian caciques (montezuma), a baby or the sight of a sloth with a cub - then if once a year we could give a higher rating than 10 - then the whole my family will even give it a rating: 12 ;-) The best accommodation during the tour of Costa Rica. I would highly recommend ! ;-)

Featuring a garden and views of garden, Zeus Guesthouse -Free SJO Airport Shuttle & Car Rental is a recently renovated apartment located in La Garita, 28 km from Poas National Park. Boasting full-day security, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. There is free private parking and a free airport shuttle service. Facilities for disabled guests are also available at the property. It was a fantastic stay! Very well maintained place with all-in! The hosts are really super nice and the transfers worked like charm, also! I think just because of them and this place it does worth to visit Costa Rica! :) Hints: -To get good hot water for the shower, put the knob to the middle, then don't pull it to the maximum to have the biggest amount water, but until midway. At least this worked for me like this. -A supermarket visit and the breakfast was done in 20-25 mins, total. That is still a good option in case of a late arrival and early departure. Besides, - this is more a note to the hosts -: maybe a bit more amenity in terms of biscuit or similar would be good. Apart the water which was of course, also great to have!
