The staff was very helpful with booking tours and answering questions for our trip. They were very great with helping me get a flower arrangement for my wife and having it wait6at the property when we arrived. We celebrated our 5th Anniversary hear. The villa is located conveniently to town. Lots of birds and catching the spunds of some howlers in the distance. There are some Giant Toads that will visit you on the back dek at night. They mind their own business tho.
Had an amazing time here. Kids loved the pool. Back patio was amazing. The place is super clean and the most comfy sheets in all the places we stayed in Costa Rica. Outdoor bathroom and outdoor shower was awesome. Can't say anything bad about this place. My family of 6 loved it.
Loved the house and yard, plenty of space and all the necessities for our family of 4. The doors were a little difficult with the double-locking gates, but that was our only trouble.
We really enjoyed our stay in Villa Tropical! It was clean, check in process was easy with Mario meeting us at the property and showing us around the house. The backyard was wonderful and relaxing with the pool and lounge chairs. Beds were comfortable, we felt safe and saw lots of wild life in the yard. Frogs, birds, geckos, monkeys high up in the trees and a toucan! Was conveniently only 10 mins into town! Would definitely recommend.
This house was my favorite stay in Costa Rica! It was so cozy and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The hosts were great to work with, it was clean, and had everything we needed like towels and wash clothes, soap, AC in every room was so nice for each person to decide how they wanted to sleep. My favorite part of this house was the pool and yard! It is 100% worth its stay! I would go there just to hang out in the yard. The lighting and secure fencing in the yard made us feel safe too! Would definitely come back! And send friends here.
Our stay at this home was excellent. The host was very accommodating and the house and property were clean and well kept. The TV in the living area didnât work which was a negative and none of the bathrooms on property had water that was very hot. Warm enough to shower but not hot by normal standards. Overall this property was great and I would certainly visit again!
Can't say enough good things about this property. It was so nice to have separate rooms and beds for our family of five, and a pool to let the kids play in after long days of adventure. Extra clean, and the kitchen had all of the implements that we needed to make daily meals. Most impressively, the hosts were extremely responsive and had the best discounts in town for any possible activity that you could desire. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
This was a beautiful property. I loved the location and the peacefulness and beauty of the surrounding area. It was very clean, and functional. We LOVED the pool and patio area. The outdoor bathroom and shower was awesome to have. We were very pleased with this home and would definitely consider staying here again. Very short nice drive to downtown La Fortuna.
Loved our stay. Close to town but not right in it so got to enjoy being in nature with monkeys playing in the tree across the street. The pool was great and house had everything we needed.
We loved our stay. The location was quiet and private. We loved the pool and outdoor space and we enjoyed seeing many birds and butterflys.The host was very responsive and helpful. They have a beautiful home.
We had an amazing stay at this home. Very beautiful home and secluded. Outdoor area was beautiful and we felt very safe here. Only a short drive to downtown. Would highly recommend!
Lovely spot! Very Clean! Someone met us at the property and walked us through. Mario, from Home Tours was very helpful in booking us tours and suggesting good places to eat. We loved the backyard setting with pool, grill and beautiful birds! Thanks!
We came to see the wildlife and to adventure on a few tours of Arenal; hiked through the jungle and over the hanging bridges, also hiked to a waterfall and went on an eco tour looking for sloths. Carlos from House of Tours was very helpful with guiding us to the property and helping us get tours set up and suggesting places to eat. We felt very safe at this location as it had a wall around the property, a gate that locked and an electric fence on top of the wall. It was very peaceful and quiet, and the outdoor shower was a great feature.Our only complaint would be that there were no closets or any place to hang clothing and selves and drawer space was also very limit.
We had a great time staying here. The pool is amazing and everything in the house was very clean. We felt safe and enjoyed how close we were to town. The kids ages 6 and 4 had a blast.
The property was very clean and safe. We particularly enjoyed the covered patio/pool area. Howler monkeys woke us up the second day and put on quite a show in the trees across the small road from the house. Loved the ever present hummingbirds in the flowering plants. Lots of different flowering plants. The only things I would recommend for improvements : hot water for the kitchen sink and improved lighting in the kitchen. The property did provide a hot-water kettle which we appreciated for heating water to do dishes. Overall, a very nice property with responsive owner/manager.
This was a very complimentary property in which to enjoy La Fortuna and San Carlos without the bother of too much tourism. Yes it was quite a bit down the road that you turned off of but it rained cats and dogs but we were still able to get through on the road, some pot holes but still nothing like the pot holes in cities! LOL!! Buying groceries and just chilling was the perfect recipe for recharge!! Pura Vida!
It was a great location close to town. It was easy to get to restaurants and nice to come home to a quiet place with a beautiful backyard and pool to enjoy. The host helped us arrange activities and gave us restaurant recommendations. I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed here for two nights/three days. The home was clean and modern, set on the outskirts of the town of La Fortuna. It's down a gravel road and behind walls and a security gate that surround the property. The home was very nice, but the highlight was the very private outdoor area within the perimeter walls. The landscaping is beautiful, and there's a fantastic pool and covered patio. We didn't swim that much because the weather was cool and rainy, but the covered outdoor patio was a wonderful place to hang out, make dinner on the grill, and play card games, deep into the night. Carlos and Mario were friendly and communicative, and extremely helpful with advice about outings. They manage their properties extremely well.
The property is super clean and exactly like the pics/description. The outdoor pool area is the real gem as we spent most of our time there. WiFi was great. There is also a Sloth sanctuary at the beginning of the road that was an awesome experience (walkable). The property manager was a delight to commute with and we would definitely return when coming back to the area.
The host was responsive and showed us the property at check in. The property was beautiful and we had all that we needed. Wildlife on the property with all the beautiful landscape. And you can walk down the dead end road to see many different bird species, howlers monkeys and a sloth.
I am so glad we chose this home. The property felt safe and secure... wall around the property, with electronic gate. Location felt safe... location is at the end of a street off them main road, bordered by a cow farm and the river in front. Home was printing and beautiful. Pool wonderful. Great location just minutes from grocery stores, sodas, and all the things. The company was very helpful with recommending tours. Highly recommend.
