The property was lovely and the host and property manager were very communicative and friendly. The area where the property is located is very near Arenal Volcano Reserve, the town of El Castillo and other adventure parks. We would stay at the Encantada Arenal if in the area again!

This property is a top notch! Everything is lovely. The host Marty and Nita are wonderful, they made our stay comfortable, fun and easy. It’s one of the best holidays we had in Costa Rica. The garden is like a paradise and tons of wildlife and the backyard with the rain forest. The staff is very nice with always smiles. Our gourmet breakfast is delicious with a lovely nice table setting. I gave this accommodation B&B a 5 star! Thank you Nita & Marty again for a wonderful vacation of a lifetime.

Incredible spot!!! The views are stunning, the rooms were immaculately clean and comfortable, the service was lovely. We stopped here for a few days on our honeymoon and they gave us complimentary wine and chocolate. They really thought of everything down to designated makeup towels, bath robes and slippers, extra toiletries, and binoculars for bird watching. Can’t recommend enough.

Amazing private escape from everything else. Beautiful grounds and views. Fabulous breakfasts and loved the staff. Extra bonus was drinks and treats included with the room. Only thing I would have changed is a window in the room that didn't have a curtain (but was high up). Perhaps some people like to wake up to sunlight. Overall would highly recommend!

Perfection

Hosts thought of every possible item a visitor to Costa Rica might need or want. From binoculars to maps, insect repellant and rain ponchos, they really thought of everything. Besides that, their space is warm and homey, pups especially welcoming, and the view spectacular. Love their story. Be sure to learn all you can about Encantada.

Nita and Marty were there to greet you when you arrive to show you around. Michael and Priscilla cooked us delicious breakfasts each morning. They offer you to choose from a good sized list of selections that they will make you. They also have sweet dogs that greeted you and welcomed you back home(Nita and Marty made sure that we were fine with dogs coming around us, which we love animals, so was a plus for us). They have spa options on site Ali g with yoga area along with pool and fire pit.

We stayed at this charming bed and breakfast in Costa Rica, conveniently located near Arenal Volcano. The property is beautiful and peaceful, and we had the place entirely to ourselves, which made for a relaxing stay. The owners, a friendly couple from Utah, shared helpful logistical tips, though they seemed a bit out of touch with some of the current attractions in the area, as they’ve been traveling abroad. Breakfast was included, and while we were encouraged to order as much as we liked (with a reminder to finish what we took), one of the owners made a “happy plate” comment as our dishes were cleared, which felt a little unusual. Overall, it was a lovely property in a fantastic location, with a few quirks in the experience.
