MexicoThe place was gorgeous. Our hosts were super nice. It was a little corner of paradise. I would clearly go back there anytime possible. We always had colibri flying around us when we were eating breakfast. The swimming pool was a bit cold, but it was so enjoyable that it wasn't a problem at all. You can go to the river nearby.

CanadaA Hidden Paradise in Arenal – Unforgettable Stay!
Villas Santa Maria is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed into a little slice of paradise. The property is stunning, surrounded by lush greenery, breathtaking mountain views, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it the perfect getaway.
The villas are beautifully designed—spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in both the accommodations and the hospitality truly sets this place apart.
One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible breakfast prepared by Paul and Carol. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious homemade feast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon to fresh tropical fruit, homemade banana bread and the best locally sourced coffee, each meal was a delightful way to start the day. Their warm and welcoming nature made the experience even more special, making us feel right at home.
The location is ideal—just a short drive to Arenal’s main attractions yet tucked away in a tranquil setting that allows you to truly relax and reconnect with nature. Whether you're here for adventure or relaxation, Villas Santa Maria is the perfect choice.

- From US$226 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 220 reviewsThe appartement is just super great. Really luxurious. All equipment needed (and more) are inside, and the view is insane. We loved it so much, we cooked in order to watch the sunset while eating. I confirm that it is windy as stated in some other comments, but after staying in the region quite a lot, it is windy EVERYWHERE, not just there.Guest review byMorganeFrance

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.Guest review bySuZImageZCanada - 10
The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing.
The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing. Both the volcano and the lake offer many chances for impressive photographs. The town has the necessities that a visitor might need. Restaurants serve good food at good prices.Guest review byianCanada - 6.0
Not convenient for La Fortuna.
Not convenient for La Fortuna. It was a 20 min windy road drive each way. Nuevo Arenal was really noisy with dirt bikes and cars driving through. City has little to offer as far as food and entertainment.Guest review bytravisUnited States - 8.0
The town is beautiful and located in a beautiful lush area.
The town is beautiful and located in a beautiful lush area. There are cute little restaurants and sodas. The locals were very friendly. My only complaint would be that the restaurants and stores etc close too early. It was hard finding something to eat/drink later in the eveningGuest review byMinetteUnited States
