The property was well maintained and had all the modern facilities. We loved the area and the amazing daily breakfast. The staff was very nice and accommodating especially Jessica at the front desk. We did wish that the restaurant on site was open until later as we had to drive into the city of La Fortuna to get meals. The chocolate tour was amazing and a fun family activity. Overall, we enjoyed our stay

I don't even know where to begin! The room was amazing, clean, and organized. The AC was working properly and the cabin was nice and cool. The shower and spa outside was an awesome experience. There was water, fresh pineapple juice, and chocolate in the mini-fridge. We arrived after dark and Josue offered to take us to the cabin as it was very dark at night. He ensured the outside lights were on every day we were there. He recommended and facilitated all our excursions. So we didn't have to worry about booking them. All we had to do was tell him what we wanted to do for the 3 days we were there. It was my birthday and my girlfriend asked where we could buy a cake. Josue told us not to worry about it and asked what I would like. On the day of my birthday, he and his family surprised me with a delicious homemade cake made by his mother and sang me Happy Birthday! It was moving and even made me cry! The whole experience was unforgettable! Definitely a must! The bungalows are located in a chocolate and coffee farm and the tour was very educational and delicious, I would also recommend it. Josue and family, thank you for everything, we will definitely be coming back!

This place was absolutely amazing! We were given hot chocolate when we arrived. We were looking off the veranda at a beautiful view of river and rain forest. Quite a thing for us desert dwellers. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. The villa we rented had a private deck, hot tub and open shower. The breakfasts were amazing. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time at the farm. The cabin was perfect. It had a view of the river and felt private. It was the perfect end to our trip to Costa Rica. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was delicious in a perfect setting. They also offer chocolate tours although we did not have the chance to take the tour. You can walk in the river. The grounds are lovely.

This is a lovely property, well manicured, inviting, interesting, comfortable, scenic, relaxing, well designed. Very welcoming staff that are genuinely interested in your experience. If you plan to stay overnight in one of the spacious, clean bungalows, you should know that since the property is situated next to a main thoroughfare it can be noisy with truck traffic until about 7pm but afterwards I had a restful sleep. Waking up inside of a rain forest was invigorating. I highly recommend making Eden one of your stops. It was a joyous experience. Pura vida at its best!

The location of the property is gorgeous. The cabins are rustic but the owners have equipped them well. The breakfasts are basic but delicious. We had an issue with the air conditioner breaking and dripping, but the staff were attentive and got a technician in the following day (even though it was Christmas Day). They moved us to another cabin for the night while waiting for the repair. As a family run rather than big corporate business, you get what you get. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay thanks to the kind team.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience seen that day, since we were having problems with the wifi and the technician was not available to help us. The three cabins have hot water, when you tried to possibly use the switch was off. We will work day by day giving our greatest effort to make sure that our guests do not have problems again.

Family run and family friendly. The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The houses were extremely nice and super clean. Breakfast was amazing. You are overlooking the river and forests including the Cacao Plantation. During our breakfast we even saw one sloth on the farm. The Cacao Tour was also the best one we did in Costa Rica ever! Net, a must for all in Costa Rica … great food including chocolate, coffee, and fresh fruits … but the best if that you are treated and feel "like family". THNAKS!!!! If their were 12 STARS, they would deserve them!!!

Arenal cacao house Pros Brand new and beautifully decorated with talented woodwork Sparkling clean Lots of plug ins Private area that feels very secure Car is a must have...victorinos restaurant less than 10min drive recommended with good affordable dinners Very attentive staff, went out of their way to make sure we were pleased. Fresh flowers provided and refreshed. Even brought darker curtains as we mentioned the outside light was bright at night They were responsive to suggestions we made for the residence as it is brand new. Discount on cacao tour which was excellent. Birdwatching area where we saw toucans, sloth in the tree.. the tour and shop is about 100metres up the road Self sufficient kitchen It felt very private. We had breakfast in the garden each morning and were able to see the tip of arenal through the trees on the clear day. Towels were brand new, fluffy and smelled delicious. AC We were very happy and enjoyed the peace and off the beaten path yet immaculate room with kitchen Cons 10-15 from la fortuna so must have car or no good if you wish to be centrally located..we liked it. The drive wasn’t that out of the way. No breakfast, coffee and tea is provided in room for prep, but kitchen and fridge available with coffee machine and hot plates etc Close to a highway frequented by large trucks. Bring earplugs if you sleep light. Quieted later in night but really didn’t find it too disturbing

What an idyll - only 3 new well designed & built wooden cabinas set in cacao plantation & beautiful garden. Wonder through it to see the fruits of the cacao plants, helconias, educational veggie garden & observe sloths. Super friendly family business. They speak English well & are very knowledgeable. Only downside was the noise from trucks compression brakes at night from highway.

Travelling as a family we had a very relaxing time. The house is functional but the surrounding is extremely pleasant with lots of animals to see (two sloths, a small crocodile in the pond below the the restaurant and many colibris). Breakfast was delicious. In general a way better option than to stay in La Fortuna (if you have a car). Upfront communication and Checkin without any problems, very nice people, good cacao products to buy and a nice cacao tour directly at the farm.

Le site est très bien aménagé pour les familles, endroit pour faire un feu, endroit pour laver notre linge à la main et l’étendre à l’extérieur, tables pour manger à l’extérieur. Végétation à couper le souffle. Cuisine dans la chambre adéquate mais manque un micro onde. Les installations sont neuves ainsi que les maisonnettes alors rien à redire. Nous avons fait l’activité du chocolat et nous avons bien aimé . Déjeuner très bon et personnel réceptif à nos suggestions. 2 points négatifs: la route n’est pas très loin, donc on entends beaucoup les camions qui ralentissent dans la courbe. Le wifi dans la chambre est mauvais, nous cherchions à modifier certaines choses de notre itinéraire et ce fut impossible. Mis à part cela, pour le prix je suggère fortement cet endroit. La fille de El Tanque se trouve très proche et vous pouvez y manger ou faire votre épicerie à cet endroit.
