The kitchen you use is the one of the owners family. So you cook literally in their living room.

We stayed in tents but with real beds so quite comfortable. The view over the lake and vulcano is beautiful but the road to the location is very steep and rocky. Maybe not manageble at rain with 2WD. Walking is then 5min by foot.

I liked the hosts. I liked the tent with the bed inside. I loved the view.

It is the most beautiful location. The breakfast is great; very tasty. The accommodations are exactly as described; well appointed camping style.

The driveway to the house was steep, dirt and long which was difficult on a motorcycle fully loaded and 2 up. The host sent pictures of where to park if your vehicle isn't a 4x4. Unfortunately, I read the informationa after we rode to the top. The next day we parked below and walked up.

The tent and bed were comfortable with a canopy structure over the top to create shade and keep the tent dry. The view was amazing with a fresh breeze and sunlight both days, which was unusual for the area. The breakfast was simple and delicious with rice and beans, scrambled eggs, grilled plantain/banana, fresh orange juice and coffeee. The host didn't speak English but spoke slowly enough for us to understand, and he was very kind. There was a restaurant at the crossroads Mesa de Mama that was a 20 minute walk, and a pizza place that had delicious pizza a 10 minute walk, which was next to a small convenient store where we bought beer and snacks. This was our favorite place to stay for the week.

If you don’t have 4x4 (which we didn’t), you have to leave your car under the hill. The hill is pretty steep and it takes around 7 mins to walk up there. If you have trouble with walking, be mindful of that.

The view was absolutely amazing and the host was super nice and chatty (we don’t really speak Spanish but still). We stayed there for breakfast, and if you are staying there you MUST try the breakfast. It was outstanding. The bathroom was clean and kitchen well equipped. It’s a small camp so it feels very private.

This is an amazing way to see el castillo and have one of the best views of arenal! Run by a Costa Rican man who is absolutely lovely and makes an amazing breakfast. We were upgraded rooms when we arrived for no extra cost which was a great surprise! Raw, real and beautiful costa rica!

The driveway was challenging, only possible in an SUV

Ingrid and Isaias were really friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was the best breakfast and coffee I have had so far in CR. Of course the view was amazing as well and our A-frame had two queen beds, it was much bigger inside than I expected.

Parking at the location was a bit difficult, wouldn't be able to make it up the hill after a heavy downpour but they do have parking available at the bottom of the hill as well if you don't mind a bit of a hike.

Beautiful view, great price. There is wifi and power available as well which was a nice bonus as it wasn't mentioned in their listing. Owner was very friendly!

A very nice older man welcomed us and prepared an excellent typical breakfast in the morning. The camp site is quite with a fantastic view of volcano and lake. Many birds can be observed in the morning. Steep last meters to reach the camp ground.

Drive way leading up to the property is really muddy and could use so much love. I was afraid our car was going to get stuck there.

The view after you wake up is AMAZING! Breakfast was so delicious compared to any hotel food.

I have only positive things to say about this place. First, it was very cheap so we didn’t expect such comfort. We were in a tent but it was more comfortable than most rooms I have been in. I loved that we could hear the birds and other animals at night and in the morning. The view to the volcano is amazing, you just can wake up, open the tent and see it! Finally, the host family is extremely kind and helpful. Breakfast was amazing. Very good value for money.

The final stretch of the road up to the property coming from La Fortuna is steep and can get muddy, make sure you have a vehicle with descent clearance and ideally 4WD (we had a rear wheel drive SUV and made it up just fine, though!)

The host was very kind and made our stay excellent. He made breakfast for us each day and it was delicious and very filling. The property was unique with a beautiful view; we stayed in one of the huts and it was very spacious. If you’re an outdoorsy person, this is a great spot at an excellent price.

The view to the volcano is incredible and the kindness of the owners was the best!

Fabulous location. Sadly no volcano view as the weather was bad, but still an amazing place. There are walks from the site that will entertain you with wildlife! We saw a massive green iguana and lots of birds. We spoke and managed on google translate which was perfect - we dont speak spanish. The breakfast was yum and plentiful. Stayed only one night as we moved on. This place isnt for hard to please people as it is basic. We loved it! The rain was loud on tin roof of cabin, so earplugs is a good idea. The drive up needs a 4x4 or a very confident driver. We had a Geely x3, 2wd and we managed. Muchas gracias

Shower was a little bit tired but all in all not a huge issue.

Lovely place and great breakfast. Very affordable.

Personally I didn’t have any problems, but I recommend renting a car when coming here, because buses are not driving very often so you might end up taking an Uber from La Fortuna if you don’t catch the bus. The place didn’t have hot water in the shower which for me was not a problem, but for some people might be.

Absolute amazing view from the property, it was worth every cent staying here. The hosts were very friendly and the son of the host even drove me to La Fortuna and gave me a lot of tips. I stayed in a cool little cabin with a fan and had a nice view from my bed. Breakfast was very good, nice portion and juice. They also have cute cats and dogs

The sunset in was an incredible glamping experience for us in Costa Rica. We loved waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys and birds, and the amazing sunrise view against the volcano. Our host was incredibly friendly, and made a delicious breakfast.
