This is a great ecolodge if you want to stay right in the jungle. A great destination for birders! Breakfast was very good too.

Beautiful location! I have slept in jungles on 2 other continents but Arenal Oasis feels so alive and wild! It’s loud here. Not cars, or traffic but the tree frogs, howler monkeys, chirping insects, song birds. That’s sort of the point of this place, but if you need a quiet environment bring ear plugs to sleep! Wild life was everywhere- including many poisonous species. Our kids, 5 & 8 understood not to touch anything, but I would not recommending kids any younger as the jungle surrounds these cabins and there is little “safe” space for them to independently explore. This place is geared to bird lovers and naturalist. We were the only family on site, which was fine if you understand the adult nature of the place. The cabins are immaculate and bug free! However they are poorly ventilated, so be prepared to battle the heat and humidity as there are few breezes and they are not entering your cabin no matter how many windows you have open. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend the night tour. The food at the restaurant is fresh, tasty and affordable. We ate there many more times than planned because we loved it.

The hotel forgot about us We emailed them to left them know our flight changed and we wou5now be arriving late and asked if it was ok or should we cancel our stay They assured the guard would be there to let us in our room. They did not have anyone there to help us we drove 3 hours to this hotel. So at midnight we were stranded 😞 Most of La fortuna was closed our driver called around to help find us a room at 1am Then early in the morning we had to Taco quickly back to Arenal Oasis before rafting excuses picking us up there. We only stayed one night at Arenal Oasis They were sorry we were stranded and stress and obviously didn't charge us for they missed night But that's it Staff was nicand polite Garden was beautiful, loved the vibe Beds were uncomfortable

Lots of wildlife and fauna on the property. Location very convenient-close proximity to restaurants and stores but away from the hectic traffic of main commercial area of La Fortuna. Friendly helpful staff but very rustic basic cabin. Our specific cabin needed repairs and update. In the open window/ventilation areas, the mesh screen had many holes which allowed bugs to enter the cabin especially at night when the lights were on.

Travelled with family including 2x teenagers. Our favourite place and accommodation in Costa Rica without doubt. We stayed in the bungalow which had everything we need but it’s the setting and nature that makes this unique. I can not recommend highly enough. The Frog Watching Night Tour is a must but so much can be seen on the grounds - monkeys and Sloth on abundance. We loved Arenal Oasis!

A unique hotel. Musty smelling rooms. Possibly from not being able to have windows open due to local animals.

Not very comfortable
Staff were very friendly and the night frog walk was a great experience. But we didn’t love the rest of our stay. I knew the cabins were rustic, and that would have been fine if they were also comfortable and functional. Our mattress was old and uncomfortable, and should have been replaced a long time ago. Most of the bathroom was taken up by a huge soaking tub (though I’m not sure they even have hot water) but no counter space to set anything out. Also wasn’t impressed with the food at the restaurant. Breakfast was good but dinner was lacking and very slow, despite being the only ones at the restaurant. If I am ever back in the area, I’ll definitely be looking at other options.

Amazing!!
This place is amazing! I originally chose Arenal Oasis as it is very environmentally concious lodging, but I had no idea it would was going to be so amazing!! We arrived late due to our flight being delayed so I called ahead to let the office know and they said no problem. The night guard would let us in. We arrived just before 10pm and the night guard was super nice and welcoming. Our lodge was so cute! Very clean and comfortable. We awoke the next morning to howler monkeys and the other amazing sounds of the jungle. We went down to the restaurant area and was amazed again! The restaurant is open air and the staff puts fruit out for birds and butterflies. You can watch them while you eat! The food is delicious but you have to be patient as it takes time. No problem at all, it's the Pura Vida way! We also did the night tour and was so amazed at all we saw. Our guide, Harley, was so knowledgeable, funny, and very accommodating to our 4 yr old nature enthusiast daughter. We saw so much! We will definitely return again. Such a wonderful place!
