Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service

Almost impossible to locate and access

Other than being described as a "dirt road”, there was no warning or a suggestion that access to the Arenal Nest is best acheived using a high clearance profile SUV 4 wheel drive vehicle. The road going in was just abysmal and our full sized sedan rental bottomless med out several times causing damage to the front bumper. Also the address doesn’t exist on GPS so very difficult to find. A big disappointment.
