Best stay in Lafortuna

Arnaldo has one of the best properties you’ll find in Costa Rica. A gated property with fully furnished homes, heated pools & sloths on property. Every morning was a delight to wake up to see Toucans & macaws floating around & that early morning coolness. Wonderful stay!!

Casa COLIBRÍ Rubi

Wonderful accommodations and great location. The kids felt like royalty and were so impressed with the house and the pool. We drove into La Fortuna daily for restaurants and wandering and did a bunch of activities as well. Nothing was more than a 20 minute drive.

Great Stay

This property is wonderful, there are other houses on the property but they are all very private. The groundskeeper showed us where the local sloth was each morning. We saw a ton of toucans one day they were so fun to watch. Having the pool right out the back door is wonderful. Need a car as it’s a bit out of townwatch.

Tranquil La Fortuna Retreat

Our stay at Casa Colibri was absolutely wonderful with plenty of room for our family to stretch out and a beautiful pool and gorgeous property. Our hosts were very accommodating. Everything was super clean and we had a wonderful experience taking small adventures and coming back to relax at this beautiful home. We especially loved the pool and terrace where we sat and played games each night as a family. The caretaker brought us to visit a sloth on the property and we were invited to walk the lovely grounds. We had a wonderful experience and are looking forward to return soon!

Quiet property outside of La Fortuna

Quiet, beautiful pool, amazing views, close enough to La Fortuna for essentials, food, and activities yet far enough to relax. Take a walk around the property to see sloths and other wildlife.

Perfect spot

This was the perfect spot and everything we hoped for. So much room to spread out for a family of 4 and conveniently located near everything we wanted to see. Everyone there was so helpful and informative. Can't think of a better way to experience the La Fortuna area! We loved it. Thanks for the stay!

Wow! The house was wonderful!

We loved the property! One morning we were eating breakfast and we heard monkeys so we followed the sound coming from the woods in the side yars and we found the monkeys. The next morning the my son in law spoted a sloths in one of the trees on the property. We are a family of 8 and the house was very spacious and comfortable.

Fabulous - Felt like Home

Fabulous - Felt like Home, actually better than home. We could have just moved in and stayed forever. We LOVED this home, the location, and the property. The views! The home is spacious and the bedrooms have air conditioning. Everything was clean and lovely. We enjoyed the pool at the end of the day. They made it so easy to be here with clear instructions on how to get here, how to get in and use the property. They are more high tech than we are at home. Alexia turns on the pool waterfall when you ask! Can't wait to come again! Thank you for a wonderful visit and stay in Costa Rica!

Great Family Stay

We had a lovely time at Casa Colibri in Arenal! We were 5 adults (parents and 3 adult children) traveling for the holiday. There was plenty of space for us to relax and have privacy. We really appreciate that Arnaldo the host was easy to contact and provided us with a welcome packet via email, so we weren’t bugging him with questions. The location was a little further from La Fortuna than we’d thought, but it was lovely. We felt very safe and had easy access to markets and restaurants. Looks like the kitchen had recently been improved by quite a bit and a few appliances had not been fully hooked up. We would’ve loved to have a clothes line or somewhere to hang wet swim clothes but we’re able to make do. Pool and outdoor area were great! Arenal is a must visit. Would absolutely stay at Casa Colibri again!

Exceeded My Expectations

Casa Colibrí exceeded my expectations. The house and property was much prettier than the pictures. The house suited are family of six. We saw toucans and macaws every day. The grounds keeper showed us a sloth on the property that totally made my girls trip. The house was gorgeous and looks brand new. The location is great because you're only a mile away from an awesome and clean super market (El Abuelo). We would definitely stay here again. I thought the pricing per person was an odd thing to have on a rental since I never came across this in my many rentals in the past. My parents decided to join us last minute which we had to increase our party size from 4 to 6, therefore had to pay extra for them. Regardless we would stay here again! Pura Vida!!!

Great home. It's one of those places that you instantly start thinking about when you might return there again. We came with kids this time but the house is so nice and with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms we thought it would be perfect to return with a group of friends. The pool was great and we spent a lot of time in it. We also saw 3 different sloths right there on the property. This was by far the nicest and best equipped home we stayed at during our trip.

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time here. House was well equipped, had everything we needed. We were 2 families with both young kids and teens. The kitchen is fully equipped. The living room is small but plenty of chairs at table and bar. The pool was nice. AC works great! Arnaldo was very responsive. House was very clean. Highly recommend. You will need to drive into La Fortuna and at night the drive can be bit tricky with people walking along the narrow roads. Don’t be surprised with bugs visiting you..you are in the rainforest!
