Amazing B&B in the cool rainforest mountain top in El Castio
Our stay with Marty and Nita was perfect. Their mountain location is far more comfortable than La Fortuna with cooler temperatures, yet still 30 minutes from everything in the Arenal/La Fortuna areas. You can fly into either airport. Their place is breathtaking with a hot tub view of Arenal lake and an infinity pool view of Arenal volcano. The room and every square inch of their home/B&B has been meticulously thought through with decorations, lights, murals/art, and greenery. The plants on their grounds are beautiful which you can see walking around or down a cool little rainforest trail down to a creek. They even have an onsite massage room which we took advantage of one rainy evening. No noise machine needed with plenty of water, insects, howler monkey, and tucan calls. Breakfast with Marty and Nita every morning was always a treat. They have traveled about everywhere in the world and are a wealth of information for advice on future travels. You simply can't go wrong! Be prepared for an adventerous journey to get there. We came from San Jose and stopped by volcan Poas on the way there, then went home via Liberia so we got a better tour of Costa Rica. It gets dark their early (6 pm ish) and often rains at night so plan to drive it with plenty of daylight hours so you enjoy the trip and arrive safely. Cheers!

Beautiful Oasis
This was truly and amazing place to stay! It is more of an oasis than a B&B. The room, property, expansive views, gardens and location were absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of the 5 days we stayed there. The owners are absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to add a personal touch. Amazing homemade breakfast (included) on the veranda was a great start to each day. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful place!
This place is gorgeous! Very secluded and quiet too. Breakfast was cooked to order every day. We would definately recommend it.It is a bit of a drive into town (La Fortuna), so a rental car would be a good idea.

This is a beautiful property! We stayed in the Parrot Suite, a large room with a king bed and all the amenities you’d need. I loved the attention to detail and the lovely Welcome Tray was a such a treat. Nita and Marty, although not there at the time, were excellent communicators, kept in touch and answered all question. The on site staff were great, friendly and took good care of us. The outdoor breakfast area was beautiful, overlooked the pool and Arenal Volcano. The choices for breakfast were plentiful and Priscilla cooked all to perfection. Lena gave us ideas of what to do, where to go and was a lovely conversationalist with insights into the Costa Rica lifestyle and culture. The B&B is a bit isolated and we loved the quiet and the fireflies. We didn’t have a car and would recommend having one in order to get out and about. There are a lot of things to do nearby and a car would be helpful. We highly recommend this property. It’s beautiful, well kept and is a little piece of paradise.

If only we could have stayed forever
Away in the jungle is this slice of heaven on earth. This amazing homes architecture and beautifully decorated rooms are set on hill with full view of Arenal Volcano. It was such a blessing beings guests of Marty and Nita. They were both jolly on the spot to make sure we had all we needed. Everything was very clean and tidy. Love the dogs and their affection as I was missing mine at home. Excellent hosts. Thank you both for making our 25 wedding anniversary a beautiful memory.

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay
Nita and Marty have an amazing property. From the well appointed room to the pristine pool and grounds, their attention to detail is unparalleled. Close to El Castillo attractions and a short drive to La Fortuna it's a perfect romantic location to enjoy the Pura Vida spirit of Costa Rica. We would love to come back.

At Encantada Arenal we enjoyed the Volcano view . Felt Comforting, serene, well kept, included a great homemade breakfast to start your day cooked by the hosts themselves ! We Loved the environment as a whole . Even includes a spa room with jungle view. I loved Chakra Balancing massage there! Intimate atmosphere with hosts Nita and Marty! Their extended pet family was always popping around to make you feel welcome too! Don’t be deterred by the road up to Encantada Arenal , it’s there! Be aware you may not have internet when you are communicating with hosts. We did have good Wi-Fi once settled in ! Take their lead on suggestions for activities and food! Anything you didn’t know to bring , even bug spray and rain ponchos were available! Five star visit with Marty and Nita as guides to the Costa Rica life , for first time visitors especially !

Honeymoon in the Rainforest
We were so lucky to have found this house for our honeymoon! It has a beautiful "theatre" style view from the balcony of the tree line with all kinds of birds flying around. Howler monkeys live near by so we heard them often and got a good view of them one day on hike up the mountain. Breakfast was included and the choices were delicious! We rented a car so we ventured out on different excursions everyday only 15-45 minutes away depending on what we had planned. Although the house is shared with other renters and the hosts, our suite titled the Parrot Room was off to the side so we still felt like we had privacy and could socialize in the kitchen patio or hot tub space when we wanted. This was a very intimate space and a unique way to relax and enjoy the rainforest setting.
