Gut: Sauberkeit, Check-in und Kommunikation
Home is showing age, needs more dishware and unsure of the safety of the area
I would consider staying again and would compare with other options first. The Arenal Family Home is showing its age but has a few perks. The bedrooms have an excessive number of beds and most of them are comfy. There is also sufficient floor space in the rooms for suitcases which is needed as there are very few drawers and dressers for clothing. The home provides a mostly bug free accommodation for about 14-16 people but only blankets for 10. The kitchen has 4 cupboards screwed shut which is okay as there are many cupboards and less dishware. More bowls are needed (ideally 1 for each guest) and a baking sheet would also reduce the creatively required for cooking. I would also suggest to bring your own spices as the only spice included is white sugar. Dishwashing is completed in intimate proximity to each other as there is no dishwasher and the single sink is near the corner. The stove and oven are run from a portable propane bottle which may run out at an inconvenient time from experience. Outside there is lovely pool in a picturesque setting. Unfortunately, navigating into the pool has some hazards as the concrete slopes are dreadfully slippery when wet. In addition, there are two steps inside the pool on the edges which are the same color as the bottom and will test the durability of your shin bones. Lastly, internet search March 26th 2025 La Fortuna in Spanish as there was an altercation early in the morning and heavy police presence.
