The access road is a bit rough. best tackled with a 4x4. Rooms could use some updates and more amenities, especially since the rate is higher than expected. I found $93.31 for a double room with a lake view a bit steep for what it offered.

Sergio is an exceptional host who provides delightful breakfasts with stunning lake views. The room needs a few more amenities.

our stay at la ceiba tree lodge was amazing. the breathtaking views of lake arenal and the historical ceiba tree exceeded all our expectations during this romantic trip. sergio and his family were wonderful hosts, and the meals were outstanding!

missing air conditioning in the room.

The views are nice, but I was quite disappointed to find no A/C in the room. How can one sleep without them? I almost gave a good review until finding out that dinner with Sergio was $24 for vegetarian spaghetti. And why no complimentary treats, honestly? I expected better treatment for the price.

magnificent 600 year-old Ceiba tree, orchid garden, feeding station for birds

No air conditioning, though a ceiling fan sufficed!!! The steep driveway could be a hassle for some, especially in bad weather!!! A more constant breeze would elevate comfort during the heat!!!

The grounds are beautiful, featuring an orchid garden and a stunning view of the lake that made our mornings special while enjoying a freshly brewed coffee. We loved relaxing in the garden and taking advantage of the barbecue facilities. The absence of air conditioning was noticed, but the ceiling fan was enough to keep us comfortable. would highly recommend paying extra for the terrace!

The location, the breathtaking views of wildlife, the delicious dining was simply outstanding.

Sergio and his family were delightful hosts! The property is a peaceful oasis, with breathtaking views of Lake Arenal and a magnificent 600-year-old Ceiba tree right outside. Each morning started with a delicious breakfast on the terrace, complete with fresh coffee. The garden was lovely, and we even spotted toucans in the trees!

Steep driveway.

A Memorable Stay Overlooking Lake Arenal

Our family's four-day escape was unforgettable, starting with breakfast featuring an array of fresh fruits and local delicacies. Each evening, we savored the sunset views, making the trek up the rough driveway worthwhile. Perfect for 4x4 adventurers!

can recommend for a holiday

Stunning views, delightful meals, the breathtaking view of the 500-year-old ceiba tree enhanced our mornings while enjoying delicious home-cooked breakfasts on the terrace, making our stay an unforgettable experience.

No negatives to mention

The stunning lake view from the terrace and the host's invaluable travel tips made our stay unforgettable.

Felt good, no reason to complain.

great views but slight room issues

The breakfast featured an excellent array of fresh fruit, a delightful start to each day. Every evening, we enjoyed dinner on-site, with the charming restaurant adding to the overall experience. Watching wildlife throughout the day was a highlight, especially with the stunning lake view that allowed us to witness magnificent sunsets.

The room could have been better equipped for our stay.

We stayed in the Double Room with Lake View, and it was pretty awesome! Super spacious with two comfy beds and a private balcony where we soaked in those stunning views. The room felt nice and relaxing. The only minor thing was that it could use a few more amenities. But honestly, the vibes and the sunset view totally made up for it!
