Tinajas Arenal Lakefront Lodge

“Hidden Gem”

Everything was great! The room was spacious and very clean, the views are unbelievable. The restaurant on site has super fun design and delicious meals. The garden is very well maintained. Best value for money

“Magnifique vue sur le lac”

La vue sur le lac est magnifique. Le restaurant est délicieux (sauf le gâteau au chocolat que je n’ai pas apprécié). Possibilité de louer des kayaks mais payer avant de partir pour éviter toute incompréhension. La salle de bain était très sombre. Le manque de rideaux opaques pour ne pas être réveillé par la lumière.

“Excelente estadía a un excelente precio”

We had an excellent stay, the staff were friendly and the value for money was unbeatable; the area is gorgeous, right by the lake with magazine‑worthy views, the restaurant offers a varied menu, lake views and delicious food, plus a good selection of beers, spirits and dishes.

The place was peaceful, quiet, and felt safe. Secure parking for my motorcycle was very important for me, and the property had good parking. The room also had a proper table and chair where I could comfortably work and edit videos. There was almost no noise except the sound of birds, which created a very relaxing atmosphere. A large supermarket was only about five minutes away by motorcycle. Outside the room there was also a relaxing sitting area with three hammocks. I also appreciated having a rice cooker and a refrigerator in the kitchen. The internet was very unstable. Sometimes there was Wi-Fi signal but no actual connection, and during some hours there was almost no internet at all. The kitchen equipment was also very poor. There were almost no proper dishes, and the pots and pans were extremely old, black, and unusable. The stove was also very old and not practical for cooking. The room could have been cleaner. The biggest issue, however, was my first interaction with the owner. Without even greeting me, he aggressively accused me of breaking the door of another apartment and immediately talked about paying for damages. He later said they would check the security cameras, but nobody ever came back to explain the situation or apologize after it became clear I had done nothing wrong. This created a very uncomfortable feeling during my stay. Unfortunately, this was my first experience after arriving in Costa Rica, and it did not feel very “Pura Vida” to me, well “Puta Vida”. I also hope the owner learns to communicate with guests in a more respectful and polite way. Not every guest will react calmly to being aggressively and unfairly accused of something without evidence. A more professional and respectful attitude toward guests would make a big difference
