Summary: The property is gorgeous! Our private balcony overlooked the Arenal volcano and Pueblo Nuevo lake. There were tons of different birds around and the property is very quiet and secure. It has a remote control gated entrance and a steep, paved driveway to the top where all the bungalows are located. The pool is very nice, but since it isn't heated, we stuck to the hot tub. The grounds were cleaned daily, but we chose not to have maid service since we were there for only 3 days. Our bungalow had a small kitchenette, but we also used the gas grill on the covered patio. The welcome center in town is fantastic and were very helpful with any questions/concerns. There is a great, little restaurant next to the Welcome center, called Soda La Mesa de Mama, and a bakery literally steps away, named Panaderia un pedacito de cielo. We also hiked the 1968 Arenal trail at the base of the volcano. We spent part of the day exploring La Fortuna and walked down to the water fall and jumped into the refreshing waters (a must do!). Overall, a great experience and wonderful people, would highly recommend this property.

Summary: This is a beautiful property tucked up on a hillside with great views of the lake and volcano. The property is secluded with a gated entrance making for a very private stay. There are 3 villas on the property, along with a shared outdoor pool and hot tub. There were people staying in one of the other villas at the same time as us, but we never even saw them. The property managers communicated very well for the check in and check out process. They also gave us recommendations for things to do in the local area. Overall, this is a great property that I would absolutely love to come back to again!

Summary: We were so in love with this location, that we didn’t want to leave. It is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and the staff of Explore El Castillo make the stay effortless. I will say the bed is very firm, but we slept well anyway. Also, the walk down to the cottage is a very steep stone path that could be a little tricky for someone with mobility issues, otherwise our stay was bliss! The location on Lake Arenal is perfect if you like staying somewhere that feels a little more secluded, but La Fortuna is only a 30 minute drive away, and there are so many wonderful things to do in the area! We really plan to make it back here one day!

Summary: This property is amazing! The views were incredible. The photos I got here of the valcano are amazing. The pool is so refreshing after a day of local exploring. Good restaurants and bars literally down the road or driveway. They have a generator in case power goes out. Will be coming back here.

Summary: What a wonderful place to stay while visiting Arenal! The views of both Lake Arenal and the volcano are incredible. The whole property is meticulously maintained and within easy walking distance to the village of El Castillo, restaurants and kayak rentals on the lake. Our unit (Pie in the Sky 1) was really clean, had a well appointed kitchen and even had coffee - bonus!! Directions to the property were easy to follow and the check-in process was seamless. The staff are very friendly and helpful. El Castillo is much quieter than La Fortuna and very close to Arenal National Park.

Summary: We stayed here for three nights and I will stay longer next time. We arrived in the dark and could not see any of the views. It was our first time to Costa Rica and we drove from San Jose in the dark. I don’t recommend that. It was a stressful drive. When we woke up in the morning we were in amazement. The views were Breathtaking . Delicious coffee was provided and we brought our own creamer from the States. If you like creamer in your coffee, you’ll need to bring it with you. We saw Tucans and monkeys in a distance. There is lots of wildlife so we highly recommend bringing your binoculars. We enjoyed the hot tub. It was a great way to relax after a day of adventures. Did I mention the view? It’s amazing from the hot tub too. We used our small kitchenette and it was stocked with what we needed. We even grilled steaks on the grill. The local restaurants are delicious and not too expensive. We slept well in the comfortable bed. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return. Thank you to our hosts who were extremely friendly and helpful.
