Great for a family trip
This house worked great for our stay in the La Fortuna area. We appreciated having three separate bedrooms (each with a fan!) as it allowed us a spread out a bit. The area was very quiet. Unfortunately, since it was the rainy season, we did not get to see much of the sloths. We would definitely look to stay here again if we come back to Costa Rica!

Beautiful house and wonderful hosts
The property was exactly what we needed for exploring the La Fortuna area. The beds were comfy and the house had everything we needed. It is located close to town and all the major tourist locations. The property is beautiful. We saw red eyed tree frogs out the kitchen window and a scarlet macaw in the trees next to the house. Lidiana and Eddy are wonderful hosts. We went to their kitchen for breakfast during our stay- delicious! We wished we could have taken their cooking class, but we were booked up. If you have time in your schedule, you should do so. Our kids enjoyed all of their animals and we got to see the two sloths that live on their property! We really loved our visit and whole heatedly recommend staying here.

Incredible stay. Incredible hosts. A real gem.
This is a fantastic little home with amazing hosts. Location was perfect with a wildlife sanctuary in the back yard ;) we say baby sloths, beautiful birds iguanas, poison dart frogs, etc. all on the property. There are also beautiful gardens filled with pineapple, plantains, bananas, peppers and so much more. Your hosts Lidiana and Eddie use all of those ingredients in your delicious breakfasts and the offered cooking class. Lidiana is such a beautiful soul and took care of our every need. What else can I say, we loved our stay at Ceibo Arenal Home!

Wonderful family and true Costa Rican experience
We stayed at Ceibo Arenal for four wonderful days. The home is close to all the activities that La Fortuna has to offer and is nestled on a beautiful piece of property with gardens that offer home grown food for breakfast or dinner. We also. We participated in a cooking class with Lidiana, Eddie, and their eldest son Edison that was a true highlight of our trip and made this a wonderful stay for my daughter, friend, and I. We would highly recommend Ceibo Arenal if you visit La Fortuna. …..Flash is also a must see!!!

February stay
We enjoyed our stay at Ceibo arenal very much. Very exotic setting amongst the jungle trees with toucans visible as soon as we pulled in. Lidiana and Roberto and their sons Aaron and Edison were lovely and welcoming and we enjoyed the dinner they prepared for us and the nighttime tour of the frog ponds after dinner. It was my birthday while we were there and lidiana handcrafted a bracelet with my name for me which was so thoughtful and sweet! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great little house for a family
WE loved having three bedrooms and enjoyed such great hospitality. Lidiana was one of our trip's highlights! She prepared a home cooked meal (for a fee) that was amazing and it was fun to see the birds, sloths, and tree frogs on the property! We had a car, and for us the location was perfect although one could take a bus. If older kids or adults are staying in the front bedroom, I suggest bringing something to expand the outlets. We cooked our own breakfast/ lunches in the kitchen. Lidiana can help you find the best grocery store and there are several fast and full service laundries in town. All in all a great experience!

Unique experience
We spent a week here. This was a unique experience for us. We enjoyed Costa Rica farm life with a friendly and helpful family. The house is cozy and comfortable with a bit of a rustic feel - the roosters woke us, friendly dogs wandered about and Flash the sloth provided entertainment. Lidiana, Eddy and their sons were welcoming. We highly recommend the cooking class.

Awesome experience
Stay here for an authentic Costa Rican experience. Lidiana and Eddy couldn’t have been more welcoming, informative and easy to get along with. We thoroughly enjoyed the organic garden, Flash and her twins, the frogs, the breakfasts and dinner in the outdoor kitchen, and the tropical flowers, especially the “fuzzy” heliconias. We’re so glad we chose Ceibo Arenal for our Arenal visit.

Outstanding Hosts and Place
We loved the set up. The house is surrounded by beautiful trees. We were able to see frogs, toucan and Lidiana was so nice to show us the sloth that is living there! We were happy to learn more about the sloths from her and we enjoy watching Eddie's videos of them. Lidiana and Eddie are so welcoming, super friendly hosts. We just wished we had more time there to enjoy the breakfast or dinner they have in their offer as well. They have a great set up for cooking classes as well, but again our stay was too short. We appreciated that their place was very clean and Lidiana was ready to provide anything we needed. We went to see Mystico Arenal Hanging Bridges and loved it. It is worth to go there first thing in the morning. Fewer people and more active animals. Thank you so much Lidiana and Eddie!! We would love to be back:)

Delightful! Full and honest review
We have no regrets and it was absolutely the right choice for us. We made lifelong memories and this was a big part of our Costa Rican experience. The value for what we paid was simply outstanding. We were a family of four — two middle-aged parents and two older adolescents. We are easy, casual, non-fussy travelers. The house was big enough for us to spread out and it had all the basics for us to crash after days of adventuring. If you stay here, you are staying for the great company and the authenticity, but not for the luxury. If you are looking to stay here, you absolutely must include the meals because that is the highlight of the experience. Lidiana and Eddie were the most gracious hosts and prepared delicious typical Costa Rican food for our breakfasts and dinners in their outdoor kitchen next door to the house. We chatted and laughed, and everybody practiced their language skills, both Spanish and English. The family dogs padded around and greeted us, and every day we walked out into the colorful garden to look at Flash the sloth, snoozing in her tree. Eddie took us out in the evening and showed us the frogs and other nighttime critters and it was just fantastic.

True Costa Rican Experience
We stayed four nights with another couple in the Ceibo Arenal home. It was amazing! Lidiana was the best host ever. It is such an authentic experience. The home was clean and perfect for our home base exploring the Arenal area. Lidiana and her husband Eddie were so kind and fun to be around. We had them make us breakfast one morning (delicious) and also took their cooking class (fun and delicious). The property is so beautiful and we were so blessed to see Flash (their resident sloth) and her twin babies up close when she came down one day. We found so many frogs each night right behind the house too. This is the place you want to book if you want the true Costa Rican experience. Thank you to Lidiana and Eddie for sharing your beautiful property with us. We hope to be back soon!

Your own piece of the rainforest
This house is a true Costa Rican house you don’t even have to leave the house to see Birds Butterflies Lizards Frogs and a very pregnant sloth. They have a outside kitchen where Lidiana Eddie and the young adult kids will fix you s real Costa Rican breakfast and it was delicious or you can take a cooking class where you go to Lidinia’s garden and pick the herbs vegetables and greens for your meal. Then you go back to kitchen and they help you prepare a fabulous meal. In the garden you have the most beautiful postcard picture of Arenal volcano and then you add the sunset and that made it perfect. Lidinia Eddie and the boys were absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to go back. Pura Vida.

The place is huge...3 separate bedrooms, a dining area, a full kitchen complete with all the necessities for cooking, and a coffee maker. Wake up early to see the resident sloth moving around and eating and come back around 5 pm or so to watch the red-eyed tree frogs hopping around on the leaves right by your place. Take advantage of the $5 breakfast. Eddie is a fantastic cook and Lidiana goes to great lengths to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. We didn't do the cooking class (but wished we had). This place is very convenient to the downtown area where you'll find restaurants, a drop-off laundry service (U.S. prices for this service!), and more. It's close to major attractions.
