Positive: Everything! The house was cute, comfortable, and well stocked with pots and pans, dishes, microwave, coffee maker, stove top, electric tea pot, tea, coffee. The breakfasts were varied with a different fresh juice every day. The pool is filled with fresh flowing water from a stream and was delightful. The jungle is feet away from your balcony, and there is a little path in a loop. And then there is Gabriela the host and her amazing family. They are so sweet, ready to give advice and answer any questions you might have! They have a cow, a young calf, many chickens, a goat and two kids. Oh, and the cutest little dog Sasi. We asked if we could learn to milk the cows and they made plans the following morning to teach us. In general we couldn’t have been happier and would definitely visit the Gambas Lodge again!
Negative: Nothing! Everything was great!
Summary: The cutest little house in a beautiful setting! Loved it!

Positive: Gambas Lodge exceeded our expectations! Many say the La Fortuna area has changed, and is now "too commercial" - stay here at Gambas Lodge for an authentic experience! The hosts truly treated us as if we were friends coming to visit; they could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Gabby welcomed us with a hot appetizer, fried yuka, soon after we arrived, which was a truly kind gesture. The next morning, we learned about their small, sustainable farm, had the opportunity to milk a goat, and gained more knowledge about wildlife. The next day, we ground fresh sugar cane, right off the property, and drank it with lime, delicious! The fresh water pool and porch are ideal, and the space met our needs perfectly. Delicious homemade breakfast was delivered in containers, hot, with many options to choose from, along with fresh fruit and freshly squeezed fruit juices in glass pitchers. They placed fruit on a perch, which made for fantastic bird-watching. The Gambas Tree sits on the property and inspired the name of this accommodation. Each piece of furniture, cabinetry, patio chairs, and the entire home was built by hand, masterfully crafted by your host. We did not cook at the property, but you could, and a grocery store is within walking distance. Canyoning Costa Rica Maquique Adventure is nearby and was also great fun!
Negative: The only thing I disliked is leaving this beautiful family and property.

Positive: Our family had an amazing time at Gambas Lodge! We loved that we had a forrest and a farm in our backyard, as well as a pool with clear spring water. Gabriela and her family were the best hosts! Gabriela brought us so much food and fresh juice for breakfast. We really enjoyed practicing our Spanish with her and her family. She was so sweet to have her boys show our kids around the farm and to teach them how to get sugar cane juice. There is a small market within a two minute walk and a few places to eat at the end of their road. 15-20 minute drive into La Fortuna. Gabriela gave us some great recommendations about eating at Restaurant Ross and some things to do. She told us all about how her and her husband are working on making their farm self sustainable. We felt like we got a more authentic Costa Rican experience than staying at a resort. We highly recommend staying here and would love to come back one day!
Negative: Nothing!
Summary: We felt like we learned a lot about Costa Rican culture but also had space to feel like we were at home.

Positive: Gambas Lodge is exceptional in every way. The delicious breakfasts, natural spring pool and the comfortable, clean and private cabin were perfect for our stay. Gabriela and her lovely family are warm, welcoming hosts who truly go above and beyond for their guests. Gambas Lodge was a peaceful retreat after the action of La Fortuna. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Grilling by the pool, juicing sugar cane with our hosts, watching the wildlife and interacting with the farm animals were the highlights of our stay. We can't wait to return!
Summary: The exceptional rating of Gambas Lodge is well deserved.

Positive: The family is so kind and welcoming. The lodging is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The fresh homemade breakfast is delicious with fresh juices from local fruits. Gabriela is very happy to help with all your questions and needs. Being an animal lover, our family enjoyed the animals on the property. The hosts are extremely accommodating and attentive. The lodge was constructed by the property owner himself and had all the amenities necessary (air conditioning, hot water, filtered water safe to drink) to have a pleasant stay. The family showed us how to press sugar cane into juice. The surrounding property is also well maintained. There is a fresh spring pool to cool down, drink your morning coffee while enjoying the sounds of the birds. If you want to escape the city life this is the perfect stay. It's quiet, calm and tranquil. We had a lovely, memorable stay that will never be forgotten.
Negative: I can not think of anything.
Summary: 100% recommend staying with this wonderful family. It's clean, tranquil and memorable.

Positive: The property is spectacular. The owner built this charming and comfortable cabin at the back of their property where we could enjoy their very private, naturally spring-fed pool, magical when lit up at night. The beds were comfy, kitchen well-equipped. The surroundings were enchanting, nestled in the jungle with a private walking path through the lush trees, winding around their giant gambas tree and little pretty stream. Woke up to a tree of toucans one morning, there were hummingbirds in her flowers daily, and so many other birds at her feeder. Gabriela's daily breakfasts were delicious, different each morning, costa rican dishes with fresh juices from different fruit on her property. They demonstrated their milling of sugar cane and their baby goats visited our kitchen one morning - adorable little rascals! Her family was wonderful, the place so comfortable and safe. We were a great location to all of Arenal sights and attractions. Highly recommend - we would return again!
Negative: Not a thing
Summary: AMAZING, worth the visit, highly recommend.
