The home is beautiful and the view is spectacular. We enjoyed watching the sunrise behind Arenal Volcano in the distance our first morning and we pulled out the yoga mats provided to do our sun salutations. We loved dining on typical food at the nearby Cafe Macadamia. The coffee there was also delicious. We drove about 50 minutes around the lake to do the Sky Arenal zip line tour which was so much fun and also played at the Fortuna waterfall. Per the host book recommendation we tried out the Gingerbread Restaurant which was excellent but a bit expensive for our family of 6. As others have mentioned, it is about a 50-60 minute drive to get to most activities near La Fortuna. It does get a bit windy around the home, but this did not bother us much and we slept well. Other reviews have mentioned needing a 4x4, which may not be entirely necessary, but which did give us the confidence to make it up the short, but steep and slightly bumpy road to the home. The one unfortunate negative during our stay was that some of our personal belongings and cash were stolen while staying at the home in the amount of $625. There is a security camera on the back side of the home, where there are several sliding patio doors, but the thief managed to turn the camera up and evade detection. This put a bit of a damper on our stay. We felt very safe in the area otherwise and hope that this was a random incident, but would caution to be very mindful of your belongings here.
