SUWA VILLA ARENAL

This is one of our favourite stays in CR. We had such a lovely welcome. This wonderful hotel is located close to everything right in the Center of La Fortuna but still very quiet. The owners help us organise a few amazing trips for cheap prices and gave us good information about the area. The shower felt like spa. The kitchen even had spices free to use and the staff was super friendly!

As a group of 5 we found that this villa was perfect for our stay in La Fortuna! It was our longest stay in one place in Costa Rica and we all felt very comfortable with plenty of rooms for each of us. 1. Jorge the villa manager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond with recommendations on what to do and where to go, he was extremely understanding and responsive with any requests we had and always checked in to make sure all was good at the villa, he also helped us secure transportation with a trusted driver to take us around Costa Rica 2. The villa is located in the perfect spot on the edge of the main square. The town is fully walkable from the location and we felt very safe going and coming 3. To enter the main door and any of the rooms there is a password protected keypad, so you feel very safe 4. There are washers and dryers and a full kitchen 5. Cleaning took place each day 6. Each room is air-conditioned 7. There are security cameras in each of the corridors and kitchen/courtyard area

My wife and I visited in early December 2023, and I can't say enough about how great Suwa Villa was. The location is excellent, safe, and near plenty of shops and restaurants. The room was clean, cozy, modern, and had A/C. The hotel has a shared kitchen outfitted with all the necessary equipment. There is even a washer and dryer for guests to use. I also can't compliment the owners, Jorge and Allan, enough. They are very knowledgeable about the area and helped us choose and book our activities. They welcomed us with fresh coconut water and made our stay very pleasant. They really care for their guests. We made wonderful memories at this hotel and appreciate all the wonderful things that Allan and Jorge did for us. We are looking forward to our next visit to this hotel.

The host is awesome! He was so friendly and even greeted us with two cold coconuts to drink upon arrival. They were delicious after a long drive in! The property grounds were very safe and secure. When we entered the room it was dreamy. The lighting was appropriate for the time of day and relaxing meditation music was playing. The space was modern, cozy and welcoming. In the morning we made coffee and a delicious breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen and common area. This booking had everything- beautiful decor, a NICE bathroom, comfortable beds, private outdoor space, a wonderful host, friendly staff, and clean common areas. We felt so welcomed there and we will definitely go back. Jorge's place is awesome! A top notch stay in Arenal.

Nothing. It was great!

Staying at Suwa Villa Arenal was a highlight of our trip and our favorite accommodation in Costa Rica. Hands down, it had some of the most thoughtful design and architecture we came across, reflecting the owner's expertise as an architect. You can tell it was built with care. For the price, it’s really good value. It felt like we got a lot for what we paid. The owners were friendly and down-to-earth, and the staff had the same genuine vibe. Everyone was keen to help without it ever feeling overbearing. Communication-wise, they were on the ball. Quick to respond and clear in their answers. Plus, they had some handy tips on activities and pointed us to some neat local spots to eat and shop. All in all, Suwa Villa Arenal felt like a great find. It’s a place that combines smart design with a real personal touch. Would definitely recommend to stay there when visiting La Fortuna.

We liked the stay so much we booked another night. The rooms are what you are in the photos but they are perfectly sized for a couple. And the facility is clean and has free laundry service. Which my wife and I loved. When we came there after a long day of travel they greeted us with a fresh coconut welcome drink which was chilled! Exactly what we needed. I think you won't go wrong with this one. The restaurant next to this place has good tasty breakfast with chill vibes.

Nothing much to not like.

We enjoyed our stay at Suwa Villa Arenal a lot! The room was very clean und the staff very friendly. Comfortable beds, good shower, quiet coom, close to the center and hotspots (restaurants, sights). The atmosphere is cozy, we received a warm welcome and we felt at ease right away. Possibility to wash clothes, great!! Well-equipped kitchen for everyone to use. We would recommand Suwa Villa to everyone. Thanks for everything! :)

Nothing :)

This property was definitely a highlight of Costa Rica for us. It is close to town but still feels like you’re immersed in nature. The communal kitchen and laundry means the place feels like home and they’re well appointed. The hosts are incredible and can help you organise and transport or tours you’re interested in. The rooms are so comfortable and luxurious and the price is incredible for what you get!

New, modern, great concept and great intercity location. Loved the room, separate patio, landscaping, and security. Staff was great. Nice, convenient, free laundry machines.

Bed was a little too hard, smell from cleaning supplies when arrived was too strong, room when arrived was so hot it took very long to cool down. Noise from local vehicles was annoying especially in early morning.

At Suwa we have been welcomed by its very kind workers with a fresh coconut drink and instantly felt at home. The owner has helped us organize our tours in La Fortuna and answered all our questions quickly. The room is tastefully decorated and has high quality personal hygiene items as well as well sorted snacks/drinks. The room has a private small area outdoor and also a kitchen in the common space. Absolutely loved our time at Suwa!
