Aunty Arenal was a wonderful place to stay!

We loved our stay at Aunty Arenal! Fernando and Laura were very friendly and accommodating. All the employees made us feel welcome. The room was very clean and the hotel was nice and quiet at night. The location was super convenient and easy to find. We wished we could have stayed longer.

Our stay was great! The staff was friendly, the breakfast was delish, location was perfect. Shout out to Fernando, he was helpful with everything. It is a little rustic and could use some new towels. It was very authentic Costa Rican stay…perfect for our family vacation!

This was a great base to explore the Arenal area, close to the hot springs and waterfall, and several great dining options nearby. The units are basic but clean and well kept.
