We loved our week at Encantada Arenal! The guesthouse is beautifully decorated, and well-equipped, and the hosts, Marty and Nita are warm, caring, and incredibly helpful. They provide personal concierge service, such as making reservations and recommending all of the best activities. At their suggestion, we joined them on an amazing tour at the wonderful Bogarin Trail in La Fortuna, where we were able to see sloths with their babies, poison, dart, frogs, eyelash, vipers, as well as toucans, and a wide diversity of other birds. Marty made a reservation for us at sky adventure to do the hanging bridge hike, which was another terrific experience! We did the 8 AM tour which we highly recommend and saw lots of birds, and, of course, the magnificent rainforest. Other suggestions that we took included hiking both the Observatory Lodge trails for incredible views of the volcano, and the 1968 lava flow trail, as well as enjoying the Hot Springs at los Lagos, and visiting La Fortuna waterfall. Marty and Nita were always available to answer any questions, gave us a tour of their lovely B&B, and when I paid the small extra fee for a load of laundry, Nita even hung the clothes that couldn’t go in the dryer for me. It is clear that people are Marty and Nita‘s passion, and they truly love what they do. From enjoying the wonderful shared Jacuzzi that we had all to ourselves one evening to chatting about our mutual travels with Nita and Marty, we felt cared for and had an amazing time!
