Guest Reviews
Casa del Bosque
We had a terrific stay at Casa Del Bosque. The view of the volcano and gardens from the bedroom and porch was incredible. You can hear the river that runs right by the house while sitting on the porch in the morning and evenings. It was a great location to enjoy all the activities around La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano. We did horseback riding, canyoning, tubing, hiking, a cooking class, and visited one of the hot springs - most activities were within 15 minutes of the house and the furthest was only 30 minutes away. Highly recommend this location”

Casa del Bosque
Beautiful place and house first of all. Garden with entrance to swimming pool 50 mtrs. Located very centric in a condo, secure and 5 min. by car from the center. All you need is there, fully equipped, modern and rustic, as at home. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace the first floor listening to the birds, sound of the river and sometimes Mr or Miss Slot would come to say hello. Attractions nearby are easy to get by car, like Arenal Lake, Volcano, Hot water springs etc.... Really worth it for staying and relaxing and enjoying nature and vacations full!!! So therefore 5 stars!! We'll be back!!”

Villas del Bosque
Wow! I cannot say enough positive things about this home! It was easy to enter, very affordable, and fit our family of 5 very comfortably. Our hosts responded to our messages right away and the visit was so seamless! The home was lovely, and even a bit bigger than the pictures showed. It was very clean and comfortable. We feel so lucky to have been able to stay here! It was a 5 minute drive to Ecocentro Danaus, 20 minutes to La Fortuna Waterfall and only 30 minutes to Arenal Volcano National Park! I would recommend to anyone to stay here!” - Heather G 2026-03

From San José International Airport, the most common route is via Route 1 toward San Ramón, then Route 702 to La Fortuna. The drive usually takes about 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on traffic, weather, and stops. From Liberia International Airport, the recommended route is generally via Route 1 toward Cañas, then Tilarán and Route 142 around Lake Arenal toward La Fortuna. This drive usually takes about 3 to 4 hours. For both routes, we recommend driving during daylight whenever possible, as some sections are curvy, rural, and darker at night.
