Costa Rica has two international airports, Daniel Oduber Quirós in Liberia (LIR) and Juan Santamaría in San Jose (SJO). Lake Arenal and Encantada are an easy 3.5 hour drive from either.

Our free personal Concierge Service can help you find the perfect Car Rental or with Booking and Arranging your daily activities. at the best available prices.

Please Note:

1. A 2x4 or 4x4 SUV is strongly recommended for their clearance height, as roads in Costa Rica can be a bit rough. The rustic little cow path, leading up a hill to Encantada, is no exception, but we have recently made great improvements to it, so a regular car can easily pass as well.
2. As a courtesy to Future Guests who might be allergic, pets are not allowed to enter the house. But please feel free to enjoy their company outside as much as you'd like. Our Rescue pups Beau, & Angel love meeting kids and new people.

Such a cute place tucked away in El Castillo! Beautiful views of Lake Arenal and the property is just absolutely beautiful! The guest house was very clean and well cared for, and they even gave us a welcome basket with some breakfast foods! They have everything you need to have a quiet, relaxing trip and stay in, or you are a half a mile from restaurants, etc.My only disappointment is that it was raining and I didn’t get to hear or see any howler monkeys that apparently are near the property.

Really nice house, with a wonderful « garden ». We were lucky enough to see a lot of whiteface monkeys and lots of humingbirds. The owners were wonderful, always answering our questions and they gave good advices.
