An amazing place for nature lover !
We had a wonderful time at the Lucky Bug. Very clean , cozy, attention to details makes this B&B a place we would return any time. A beautiful tropical garden is surrounding . Rob was a great host available at any time and making sure we have everything we needed. Breakfast was very good, served on a terrace with an amazing view , lots of Hummingbirds and Iguana on the tree. We just loved everything !

Lovely unique property. Needs better lighting and needs to give better check in directions. Most obvious place labeled “Lucky Bug” was dark and locked -turns out this was breakfast place/restaurant and souvenir shop. B and B was down the road and not well marked in the dark ( my flight was cancelled and I arrived later than planned, just at dark. I sent a message but got no response) My room was advertised as “lake view” -turned out it was not Lake Arenal, but a pond on the property. Owners/ staff were very nice, and assisted with luggage which was great since I had been up all night at airport.

Wonderful family stay in April
Our family of three (2 adults and one six year old) stayed at Lucky Bug B&B for one night in April on our way from LIR airport to La Fortuna to break up our travel day. We selected the B&B based on other reviews and we were so glad we did. Check-in was easy and quick; we were greeted by Monika, Rob, and their cats and dog (which my son loved!). We were able to park our car right next to the B&B, which is set back away from the main road and through a gate that is closed to those not staying at the B&B. We lucked out since we were the only ones staying that evening; it was very peaceful and the property is beautiful. It felt like a private oasis. We spent walking around looking at the flowers and plants and the pond on the property in the evening and again in the morning. It felt like we were far away from anyone and everything. Our stay in the sun-suite was perfect for us, as there was a big bed and then two other beds, a small kitchen, and living area to spread out. We enjoyed coffee in the room and on the patio in the morning before going to breakfast. In the morning, we had a fresh homemade breakfast with fruit, eggs, toast, and juice and coffee overlooking the pond and with hummingbirds flying nearby. A wonderful experience and we would stay here again, and recommend to anyone else in the area! :)

Lucky Bug was the highlight of my CR trip! A magical oasis in paradise. A favorite experience ever. I stayed in the Frog room overlooking the lake. The owner is an artist and has designed every piece with intention. My only regret is not staying longer. Thanks you Rob and Monica for welcoming me into your palace.
