Rancho Margot
One of a kind, Rancho Margot is a must when visiting Arenal. Words really can't describe, it has to be felt. Self sustaining and totally ecologically friendly....visit for an afternoon.... stay for a week. This is our favorite place to get away from it all!!

Villa Decary
A short walk down the road from us is our second favorite hotel on the lake, next to Gingerbread of course! A Bed and Breakfast with the best bird watching around, we recommend Villa Decary when we are unable to accommodate. Always the best for our guests.

Sky Tram - Sky Trek
This is the newest and best of the forest canopy tours, including the longest zip-line cable ride in the country! The view of the lake and volcano are fantastic with a rush of wind as you sail above the tree tops!! We had a blast!! Let us arrange your sky high adventure.

Arenal Hanging Bridges
Wonderful series of trails through the forest canopy and above it by steel hanging bridges. Perfect morning excursion to view the Arenal volcano to the chorus of tropical birds. Or take the evening tour to watch the sunset. You can make your own tour anytime, or let us select a guide.

Kayaking Lake Arenal
Best way to experience the lake is by kayak with some of our personal friends. Glide peacefully across the water to small lake islands to look for colorful shards of ancient pottery or skim the shoreline for water birds. There is always time for a cool dip in the lake too. Ask us to arrange your lake experience.

Lake Arenal Fishing Tours
Captain Ron is not only a friend he is the favored fishing guide for Lake Arenal. Excursions are half day, full day including gear, snacks, and refreshments. Ask us and we'll hook you up with a great fishing experience.

Ecotermales Fortuna
Hot Springs with the best cocktails and relaxed setting. Ecotermales is our favorite place for soaking up the afternoon in your own tropical oasis!! Let us arrange your spa getaway.

Tico Wind
Lake Arenal is one of the worlds best places to wind surf and kite board. Take it from our friend Peter Hopley, owner of Tico Wind, who has been involved with the sport for 25 years strong.
