Suwa Villa Arenal is one of the best places at which I have stayed! We had four guests and stayed for four nights in mid-March. Beautiful rooms with an outdoor patio and chairs, and A/C. Very clean and fully stocked communal kitchen, with a super cute and lush lounge area on the side. There are laundry machines available to use, with 2 free detergent pods provided. There was also a mini jacuzzi (temporarily cold water when we visited), and a fireplace for hanging out outside at night. Parking is easy and reserved for guests right in front of the entrance. The property was small in a nice, intimate way, and extremely private, safe, and quiet.
The staff live on site, and are very friendly and easy to communicate with quickly. They provided us with delicious fresh coconut water upon arrival, and complimentary gourmet coffee each day.
The hotel was also located in a convenient location in La Fortuna. Walking distance to the central park, (I recommend going there to watch the sun set behind the volcano!), and many, many restaurants & souvenir shops. There are a few grocery stores nearby, and we were able to use this place as a relaxing home base for all of our adventures around the volcano & hot springs.
I almost thought this place was too good to be true when looking at the pictures, reviews, and price (we got it at a major discount), but I'm so glad we booked. It was a highlight of our trip. Overall, this hotel exceeded expectations, and we would love to stay here again!
