The place is nice. Is out of la Fortuna town, so it is sooo quiet... but is close enough to go and get something to eat. It has a nice view of the volcano. There's a creek going thorugh the hotel... A nice and quiet place to go and enjoy with your family. villas are nice. Not so fancy but... More

The Eco Arenal Villas is the perfect destination location for those that want to get away from the crowd and enjoy peace & quiet. While close to town, a $4 cab ride, the 1.5 km dirt road truly separates you from downtown. This "old school" resort is a welcome change from the modern, "Disneyland--like" resorts along the main road. The... More

We had some trouble finding the place (put a sign in the village) but when we arrived we were surprised about the accomodation! Nice, clean villa's in a beautiful garden, clean swimmingpool and a small jungletrail in the back of the garden. We were a bit alarmed by the review of mr. Vivrette but he obviously stayed somewhere else, because... More

I was traveling through Costa Rica and we ended up in Arenal. When we first rolled up to Eco Villas Arenal, the first thing i noticed was the obvious beauty of the landscape, filled with lime and palm trees, and a clear view of the breathtaking Arenal Volcano. Behind this façade, however, lies a row of dingy, poorly lit, dirty... More

These Villas are fantastic. There is heaps of wildlife within the beautiful grounds including two large owls, sloths, squirrels, frogs (including the blue Jean frog), hummingbirds, herons and many more. The rooms are relatively spacious and the showers are hot. Breakfasts tended to be scrambled eggs, ham, rice and beans and bread. The coffee was pretty good. Be warned that... More

The hotel itself is actually outside of downtown down a dirt road. But once you drive on to the grounds it is very appealing and secluded. Actually we preferred this because the town was a little loud and rowdy for our tastes. The staff was very friendly and helpful in arranging our tours and activities in the area. The room... More

I was just there last week with my six and 12 year old. The hotel is about one mile from La Fortuna on an unpaved road. Very quiet abd tranquil setting. The front office greeted us with genuine enthusiasm and warmth. She was very helpful and just a joy. The security guard on duty from sun down to sun up... More

The room was part of a prepaid package. The girl at the reception desk was very helpful. However there was only so much that she good do. We started off being assigned to one cabin that had three beds. All three beds had mattresses that with a slight touch you could feel all the springs and coils. The bedding was... More

We stayed here for 4 days in February 2011 and enjoyed every minute of our time at the hotel. The staff, Henry and Aimy, speak excellent English and were extremely helpful and knowledgable about the area. The hotel located 5 minutes ride outside the town is quiet, has beautiful grounds with a pool, soccer area, basketball court and the reasonable... More
