Onca Tours & Treehouses

San Rafael

Featuring mountain views, Onca Tours & Treehouses in San Rafael features accommodation, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant.

There is a fully equipped private bathroom with shower and free toiletries.

The lodge offers an American or vegetarian breakfast. We have stayed in many different places in La fortuna area and for one day we stayed in the tree house in Rio celeste area(limit 100$ per day). We did not want leave. This stay was by far better for a similar price. More comfy bed, clean soft towels, tasty food, nice idea of being elevated while watching birds in trees.

Chalets Silencio del Bosque

Fortuna

Breakfast is available every morning, and includes à la carte, continental and American options. At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving local and Grill BBQ cuisine. Vegetarian and dairy-free options can also be requested. Edwardo was excellent. He happened to be available and took a little bit of time after dark to explore around with me with flashlights looking at frogs and bugs. I loved it. If you put more effort into your Spanish speaking skills than I did, I bet you'd tap into an absolute wealth of knowledge chatting with him. Breakfast in the morning was super good with great birdwatching right there! I'd definitely return, and I'd definitely recommend to a friend.

Cabañas Sueños del Arenal

Fortuna

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 23 km from the lodge, while Sky Adventures Arenal is 24 km away. The nearest airport is Fortuna, 7 km from Cabañas Sueños del Arenal, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. The property was perfect for us as a couple. Close to La Fortuna and far enough away that you were out of the busyness. The kitchen was stocked well enough to make simple meals. King bed was comfortable. The view of Arenal Volcano was amazing when it wasn’t too cloudy. The patio was sheltered from the rain so you could still enjoy coffee outside in the morning. Property felt secure with remote control opening and closing.
