Arenal Oasis

Beautiful location! I have slept in jungles on 2 other continents but Arenal Oasis feels so alive and wild! It’s loud here. Not cars, or traffic but the tree frogs, howler monkeys, chirping insects, song birds. That’s sort of the point of this place, but if you need a quiet environment bring ear plugs to sleep! Wild life was everywhere- including many poisonous species. Our kids, 5 & 8 understood not to touch anything, but I would not recommending kids any younger as the jungle surrounds these cabins and there is little “safe” space for them to independently explore. This place is geared to bird lovers and naturalist. We were the only family on site, which was fine if you understand the adult nature of the place. The cabins are immaculate and bug free! However they are poorly ventilated, so be prepared to battle the heat and humidity as there are few breezes and they are not entering your cabin no matter how many windows you have open. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend the night tour. The food at the restaurant is fresh, tasty and affordable. We ate there many more times than planned because we loved it.

Travelled with family including 2x teenagers. Our favourite place and accommodation in Costa Rica without doubt. We stayed in the bungalow which had everything we need but it’s the setting and nature that makes this unique. I can not recommend highly enough. The Frog Watching Night Tour is a must but so much can be seen on the grounds - monkeys and Sloth on abundance. We loved Arenal Oasis!

Nestled in the jungle! The cabins are maybe 50-feet from one another, but the vegetation is so thick that it feels like you are completely alone! This would be great for a family of four or five. The kitchen and bathrooms were great. The breakfast was wonderful. The trails on the property were a great introduction to other hikes that the La Fortuna area has to offer. We loved it!
