My husband and I went to Agua Inn this weekend, my mind was blown❤️. The place, the architecture, the vibe, the beautiful energy this so called "paradise in the forest" gave from the very first moment we arrived. Javier and Trent were beyond special and amazing with us, Feo and Kila, so sweet❤️ Pepa not so much, she scared the shit out of me🐦, gurl did not gave us a break😂🤭. Thank you Trent and Javier for the beautiful vibe, your kindness, that delicious breakfast and the amazing coffee, also thank Adela for her hospitality and kindness We are definitely coming back, hopefully this time a little bit longer ❤️ See you soon!

The room was amazing with a massive bed and really nice open shower, with the doors to the room opening right out to the pool area. Joanne and Simon were lovely and invited us to join them for a beer when we arrived. They have lots of lovely friendly dogs, and the staff at the restaurant next door were really nice and welcoming also!

The property is in a beautiful location on a hill surrounded by nature. It is really quiet and you can hear the birds and monkeys from your room. We stayed in the tent which was really comfortable with a shared bathroom. Everything was very clean. The food was amazing and there are so many activities such as massage, spa and tours. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a peaceful place.

We were really happy to spend two days here. The room has a splendid view, the swimming pool also. The restaurant 2 mins walk from our room was fantastic. Far from the chaotic Fortuna, but close to every 'must see and live' in the same time. We really appreciate everything, we hope to come back one day!

Incredible experience in this place, you will spend a couple days and learning about how to make soap how to grow food and take care of yourself… And the very incredible part of this experience is how kind and dedicated the people working are…well I totally recommend!

The breakfast was amazing, so much and so delicious. The location was so beautiful and peaceful. I would recommend getting there before dark because of small winding roads (no lights) and pot holes.

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing.

The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing. Both the volcano and the lake offer many chances for impressive photographs. The town has the necessities that a visitor might need. Restaurants serve good food at good prices.

Everything was great,

Everything was great, only down side is the busy narrow road around the town. Outer locations were quieter! We Loved Nuevo Arenal. It is a quaint little town about 40 min from Arenal Town. Although you can not see the Volcano from there, there are Beautiful views of Lake Arenal.. Great Restaurants and People.

Not convenient for La Fortuna.

Not convenient for La Fortuna. It was a 20 min windy road drive each way. Nuevo Arenal was really noisy with dirt bikes and cars driving through. City has little to offer as far as food and entertainment.

The town is beautiful and located in a beautiful lush area. There are cute little restaurants and sodas. The locals were very friendly. My only complaint would be that the restaurants and stores etc close too early. It was hard finding something to eat/drink later in the evening
