Traveller reviews

“Great for vegetarians, good views lovely staff”
13 Jul 2025
Food was good, and great options for veggies. Nice to be so near the lake and town . Had a wonderful massage and joined in with yoga one morning

“Lovely people, lovely landscape, healthy food, great stay!”
20 May 2025
I had a wonderful time at this location. Super friendly, willing to help with every request and super nice people. A special shout out to Nicola who was super helpful. Perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.

“Beautiful place in nature”
11 Apr 2025
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.

“Essence Lodge totally stole my heart — I didn’t want to leave!”
10 Apr 2025
I stayed in the Bonita Vista cabin, and wow… that view of the Arenal volcano was next level. No neighbors, just pure peace and quiet in the middle of nature, with a private little plunge pool to cool off. The cabin came with a small kitchen and a fridge, so I could cook my own meals — not that I was ever in a rush to leave paradise. I spotted birds, a toucan (!!), and wandered the lovely forest trails around the property… I loved everything.
