Luxurious and cozy

We loved our stay at Ranch Arenal. The house and the grounds were modern and incredibly well kept. Our hosts were wonderful. Very kind and good communicators. We wished we could’ve stayed longer.

Amazing experience. Would love to come back.

Amazing house, more space than we could even use, the host team was great, and the home cooked dinners and breakfasts (arranged with Yadi, the amazing woman who lives in a separate home on the property) were the best food we had in CR. The place was spotless, perfect, and a very easy ten minute drive to everything in Fortuna. Loves it.

Absolutely beautiful property. Close enough to the small take of El Tanque to walk over to the grocery/fruit/meat markets, but large enough and secluded enough to feel like you're truly in the jungle. Staff was always ready to help, especially the gardener who was very friendly. Highly recommend you take him up on his small "tour" of the property (some small amount of Spanish fluency will be helpful here). Saw tons of birds, lizards, etc on the property. Pool and hot tub were delightful after a full day of activities in the surrounding areas.Overall we had a great stay and loved the property. Highly recomend.

Perfect home base for adventures around La Fortuna

The house and grounds were beautiful and so well kept. The backyard and pool area was the perfect spot to hang out after a long day of adventure. We had one meal prepared by Yadi which was delicious! Another plus of the villa were restaurants and grocery stores well within walking distance. Will absolutely consider Rancho Villa Arenal for future visits.

Amazing time at the Ranch Villa Arenal

I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. Jorge was an amazing host with amazing staff. Jordy, the concierge was so responsive and helpful with organizing everything for our stay. Yadi, the chef, made the yummiest food for our group and Joaquin, the Gardner, gave us a fun and interactive tour of the property. My husband and friends raved about the house and grounds. Would 100% stay here again!

Amazing

What a beautiful place. We felt so special and welcome. The grounds are impressive and clean. Each day the pool area gets cleaned . We had ladies fix our meal 2x and the prices were very reasonable. There is someone on the grounds who would help us with anything. Everything we did was close by.

Paradise

Ranch Villa is paradise!!The photos do not do it justice!The excellent staff are friendly and very accommodating.Joaquin took some of us on a farm and property tour. It was very fun. His horticulture knowledge is outstanding. We had Yadira and her co worker prepare 2 meals for us. The food is amazing. We are all sad to leave this beautiful place.There were 11 of us staying and all had more than enough space. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub as much as we could.

Excellent value, excellent support

The team was superb. Their communication was strong. Value of the property was great when factoring in location, price, amenities, support, etc (5 stars!). They're always very happy to help with whatever needs and accommodations. Prepare to spend far more in tipping than anticipated.

Its raining in the rain forest

This is a lovely property just outside of La Fortuna. Everyone was wonderful and the back yard is beyond beautiful. This is the perfect place for those who don't want a typical tourist experience. It is like living on a plantation in the jungle. We did not want to leave.

Complete Oasis

This property will blow your mind. The grounds are impeccable and would match any expensive botanical garden. There's a gorgeous yoga studio & gazeboamongst the garden. Picture perfect pool area with a hot and very large hot tub! The outdoor living space was huge and where we ate our meals, had coffee, and listened to all the jungle noises when it rained. Rooms were comfortable, house was giant and plenty of room to spread out! Jordy was SO helpful for the weeks passing up to our trip. His excursion recommendations were perfect and we were thankful to have a local person arranging the transportation and the tours so that we didn't have to. There's a few restaurants, local shops and grocery within walking distance. Everyone we meet were so nice. If we ever get to come back to Vista Rica we will DEFINITELY come back here!! Believe me-- you won't be disappointed!!

Lovely, unique property with responsive staff

This is a lovely, huge house that is perfect for large groups. The backyard/verandah is a feast for the eyes, the bedrooms are comfortable, a very nice sitting room for gatherings and the bathrooms are clean with hot water. Very convenient location, near a grocery store and not too far from all that La Fortuna has to offer. The staff is responsive, helpful and flexible. Jordy was critical to helping plan our excursions and transfers, Yadira made several delicious meals for our group and Juaquin gave us a wonderful tour of the property. Would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing trip for a big group!

Beautiful Home and Centrally Located

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this home. It was centrally located to most activities which we greatly appreciated (15 min drive to La Fortuna town, Arenal volcano, Tabacon hot springs and Sky Trek Ziplining). The home (including all beds) was very comfortable with a great layout. Simply beautiful property and grounds. The pool with waterfall and jacuzzi was also a nice treat, although we had trouble with the pool filter which was not operating when we arrived. Other than that, we had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this home. The fresh coconuts cut down by Jorge on our last day was a very nice gesture and he was very helpful throughout our stay.

A Hidden Gem in Arenal – Perfect Retreat!

We had the most amazing stay at this property in Arenal! The grounds are absolutely stunning – lush and well-maintained, creating a peaceful and beautiful environment for relaxation. The pool is gorgeous, and the outdoor living spaces (including a dining area and cozy living room) made it easy to enjoy the perfect Costa Rican weather. The jacuzzi was a highlight, especially after a full day of exploring Arenal and La Fortuna. It was the ideal way to unwind and relax under the stars.The hosts were incredibly responsive to all our needs. Yadi prepared delicious meals for us, and we were able to pre-purchase groceries, so everything was ready and waiting when we arrived. We felt truly taken care of.A special shout-out to Juanquin, who gave us a personal tour of the grounds. He showed us all the fruits growing on the property and even cut down coconuts straight from the tree for us to taste the freshest coconut water we’ve ever had!One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful pavilion in the garden. We used it for a little yoga and zen time mid-week, which added an extra layer of tranquility to our vacation.Overall, this place offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Arenal/La Fortuna area while enjoying an incredibly peaceful and unique stay.

La Fortuna

The house, property and staff were great. Amazing house with plenty of room for the family (6 people). Everyone loved the pool, hot tub, outside area and short walk to El Tanque's downtown. Downtown had a couple of grocery stores, bakeries and restaurant. Plus a short drive to La Fortuna.

Beautiful, authentic property with lots of charm and history

We had a great time at Ranch Villa Arenal. The grounds are absolutely stunning and well taken care of. The house is lovely, though rustic and has no air conditioning in the common areas (just in bedrooms) and screens are only on some of the windows (so there were more bugs than we’re used to). The home is rich in history and has a very “Costa Rica authentic feel.” The master bedroom was recently renovated and charming. The home is centrally located for many activities but while it is set back from the street and generally quiet, there was a concert / party one night we were there at a school across the street that was quite loud until around 10:30 PM. The hosts were very attentive to our needs and came daily to clean inside and take care of the grounds. Very gracious and kind.
