Casa Donna Rosa B&B

By far my first recommendation for a delightful Costa Rican experience in Nuevo Arenal. Casa Donna exceeds expectations for attentiveness, accommodations, exceptional food, and atmosphere. The grounds are absolutely stunning and immersive. We dined with toucans and exotic songbirds on a breezy rooftop, slept in an adorable well appointed casita, and always had the guidance and knowledge of Carlos and Werner for restaurants and attractions in the area. If I could live there forever I would!

This was our second stay with Carlos y Werner. Once again a great experience! The breakfasts are just incredible and the room was perfect. There was also a lovely atmosphere of friendly and worldly guests that we enjoyed meeting during breakfasts. If there’s anything you need or want to know, all you gotta do is ask. These guys are a wealth of information. Every time we went to a store of restaurant and say “we’re staying at Casa Donna Rosa” the people have great things to say about Carlos and Werner!

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely spoiled and well cared for. The attention to detail throughout the property is absolutely spectacular! Our bathroom was especially thoughtful - designed with all the little touches that made us feel pampered and right at home. Our hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area, which added so much to our experience. We especially loved spending time on the balcony and patio, which offered both lovely privacy and stunning views of Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountains. And the breakfasts? ¡Muy rico! Each morning’s specialty meal was delicious and beautifully prepared. Thank you so much for a fabulous and unforgettable stay!

Amazing hosts along with beautiful views and very clean and comfortable rooms. Had Toucans at our back porch and during breakfast. Must stay when traveling through. The hosts are welcoming, very knowledgeable about the area and cook a delicious breakfast!!

Carlos and Werner are wonderful hosts and this B&B was one of the best accommodations we have stayed in. The bed was super comfortable, the shower and ensuite amazing and they have thought about so many little touches that made this an excellent stopover in the Neuvo Arenal/La Fortuna area. The Costa Rican breakfast was delicious and their home is stylishly furnished and decorated, yet instantly comfortable. With the view of Lake Arenal from the balcony this was easily the best accommodation we stayed in and such good value for money. The drive around Lake Arenal was a treat and I loved Neuvo Arenal as a small safe local neighbourhood to stay in with a choice of eateries. Thank you Carlos and Werner for your superb hospitality, they couldn't have been more accommodating, wished we'd stayed longer.

Carlos and Werner are the perfect hosts in this wonderful B&B. The breakfasts are unbelievably good. The accommodation is fabulous and the bananas attract a variety of birds to the balcony. We had kitchen facilities which was well equipped and enabled us to cook a few meals during our stay. Throughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely return.
