Peñas Blancas Hotel Guide - Arenal Eco Zoo hotels in Peñas Blancas, Costa Rica.

"This property was amazing with it situated in the jungle, high up in the mountain side. Our first morning, we saw all the wildlife you normally have to pay for in La Fotuna, we saw 20 plus Tucans, howler monkeys, and other monekys shortly after. There were so many wonderful sounds with a wide variety of birds. We did not need to use the AC on the property as the nights were cool enough to sleep comfortably. The only thing I can point out with caution, is make sure you have an SUV with 4x4 as the road leading up to the property is pretty steep and treacherous especially during the rain. The hosts were amazing, they provide you with a welcome basket with breakfast items that last you a couple of days and any left over food, they provide to their workers, very nice jesture. I aske them if it was possible to have a bouquet of flowers for our visit, and boy did they ever. Their landscaper Pastor made an amazing bouquet from the flowers on the property. The proximity to La Fortuna was amazing, we were able to see the volcanoes and made the trip to Mistic tours for the suspension bridges, which was incredible. I would definitely stay at this location again and i highly recommend this for any nature lovers looking for a true Costa rican experience. Thanks for the wonderful stay"

"We really enjoyed the quiet village and the house's amazing views of the volcano and lake! We saw beautiful birds everywhere. Loved the swings and the 3rd floor lookout! So peaceful. The only drawbacks were, one night the neighborhood dogs barked for an hour and we had a little trouble finding the house but Erika went out of her way to talk us through it and had her daughter meet us! Also, the first and second floor are only connected by outdoor steps. It was great for us because our teens stayed downstairs and loved it. (But with younger kids this may be an issue) We met Lilander at a stable close by and had an amazing horseback ride to a waterfall! Highly recommend this place!"

"We were looking for a place that felt more "local Costa Rican" and this was perfect. Ericka was our host and was SO knowledgeable and helpful! Wwe didnt end up doing any excurions, but she was able and ready to help us with booking if we desired as well. She did help us connect with Lilander Horseback tour right up the road, which was absolutely wonderful as well. Loved the views, and the town!"

"Home that is right in town with several restaurants, markets, and activities within walking distance. Great view from the back patio. The host was available and helpful."

"My daughter said she felt like a movie star when we checked in. Beautiful home with large pool and hot tubs. "

"This property is absolutely spectacular. We stayed in the 2 bedroom unit. It was spacious and had everything we needed. Amazing landscaping all over the property with beautiful views. Close to the hot springs, lake activities, and La Fortuna. Thost happened to be in property"
