Arenal Cacao House

Clean, nice good enough for 5 member family. In the nature, close to Arenal. Need a car for getting around. Family who owned the property treated us very well during morning breakfast and they are special to us.

The owners and the staff were very friendly, incredibly nice and our stay was so much nicer because of it. Thank you for the good food, cosy cabin and the very instructive Cacao tour. The resident sloth was also a cute little highlight for our girls.

Family run and family friendly. The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The houses were extremely nice and super clean. Breakfast was amazing. You are overlooking the river and forests including the Cacao Plantation. During our breakfast we even saw one sloth on the farm. The Cacao Tour was also the best one we did in Costa Rica ever! Net, a must for all in Costa Rica … great food including chocolate, coffee, and fresh fruits … but the best if that you are treated and feel "like family". THNAKS!!!! If their were 12 STARS, they would deserve them!!!

Owners very welcoming and kind. Walkingvtrails thru cacau tour always available to guests - cacau fruit, papaya and lychee grow near cabins. Kitchen with mini fridge, stove top, sink, dishes, pans and all utensils needed. Also a fire pit and out door kitchem. Short drive from arenal but also have a tour company that will assist with all transportation for activities - favorite place i stayed across costa rica and would stay again and again.

Súper location and very nice rooms. Perfect for couples or families

The nature trail was great. The the large trucks Jake braking not so much. The glass doors are a like questionable for safety purposes.

It was a great little place. Very private. The owners have put a lot of effort into building the place and maintaining the grounds.

Arenal cacao house Pros Brand new and beautifully decorated with talented woodwork Sparkling clean Lots of plug ins Private area that feels very secure Car is a must have...victorinos restaurant less than 10min drive recommended with good affordable dinners Very attentive staff, went out of their way to make sure we were pleased. Fresh flowers provided and refreshed. Even brought darker curtains as we mentioned the outside light was bright at night They were responsive to suggestions we made for the residence as it is brand new. Discount on cacao tour which was excellent. Birdwatching area where we saw toucans, sloth in the tree.. the tour and shop is about 100metres up the road Self sufficient kitchen It felt very private. We had breakfast in the garden each morning and were able to see the tip of arenal through the trees on the clear day. Towels were brand new, fluffy and smelled delicious. AC We were very happy and enjoyed the peace and off the beaten path yet immaculate room with kitchen Cons 10-15 from la fortuna so must have car or no good if you wish to be centrally located..we liked it. The drive wasn’t that out of the way. No breakfast, coffee and tea is provided in room for prep, but kitchen and fridge available with coffee machine and hot plates etc Close to a highway frequented by large trucks. Bring earplugs if you sleep light. Quieted later in night but really didn’t find it too disturbing

Very nice little cabin style accommodations. Close to local attractions. Beautiful view of the cacao trees.

What an idyll - only 3 new well designed & built wooden cabinas set in cacao plantation & beautiful garden. Wonder through it to see the fruits of the cacao plants, helconias, educational veggie garden & observe sloths. Super friendly family business. They speak English well & are very knowledgeable. Only downside was the noise from trucks compression brakes at night from highway.
