Holiday rentals with a pool in El Castillo

Amazing property. Felt more like staying at a high end resort. Extremely clean with great outdoor space and pool. Well stocked and safe with a gated entrance. Highly recommend.

This is our second time staying at Casa Gisela, we love this home and neighborhood so much.

We had an incredible stay in La Fortuna with our family, including our 3-year-old and 1-year-old. The home is perfectly situated right at the base of the volcano, offering unobstructed, stunning views—we could see Arenal from the living room and even while relaxing outside. The host was extremely thoughtful, leaving cold beers and champagne in the fridge for us, which was such a warm welcome after a long drive. Communication was excellent, and the concierge-style service made it easy to plan activities that worked for both adults and young kids. The space felt peaceful, safe, and well-equipped for a family. We’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area—especially families looking for comfort, scenery, and great hospitality.

We had an amazing stay here! The location was easy to find and not too far from the airport. There were definitely lots of local stores and restaurants to visit near by. We recommend Resturante Ross! The views especially early morning were amazing overall we have no complaints. Our favorite part was visiting the farm animals! Oscar was so nice and welcoming.

Aqua Vida is simply amazing. Words cannot describe how you’ll feel when you see everything you get with this property. It’s off the main road in La Fortuna but it’s very safe and peaceful. You get all the privacy you want while being 5 minutes away from everything in town. A huge natural spring pool, a covered area where you can cook, have your meals or just hangout, a huge yard to play in, a stream going through the property with beautiful trees and absolutely stunning landscaping. All this and you’re still not even in the house. Book this place. You’ll be happy you did.

Cozy home, just as described. Comfortable beds Great location for our family of 6 to do all the activities in and around La Fortuna. When we weren’t out exploring, our kids were in the pool, which was so enjoyable. There was a mixup when we first got there with another family who mistakenly was in our place. But it was quickly resolved and we were left a fruit basket the next day.

The other reviews are correct. This place is even more beautiful in person. We did not the amount of space, how clean it was, and how luxurious it felt. It was like being in a resort. Even the way its designed was gorgeous. It was 4 adults and 2 kids and we all loved it. The kids especially loved the pool and how low it was and we loved the convenience of the market directly across the street. Also everything is a short taxi ride away. And to top it off, the one day pass at Las Logas Resort was awesome. We spent hours there walking the grounds and enjoying the hotsprings pools!! This is definitely one of the best airbnbs we've stayed at offering so many amenities withing close proximity to downtown and other attractions. Also the host Rebecca was very responsive! Be careful to follow the instructions when checking in because you will be lost. Thanks again Rebecca!

Great place close to all La Fortuna activities. Felt very safe. Quick response with questions. Very helpful. Highly recommend

Great location Close to airport Clean Fresh water in refrigerator Easy access in and out All I needed to tell the taxi guy at the airport was the actual name of the condo: Condominio Novatriana! $20 total. We had a ton of stuff and a dog! Thanks William!

The place was exactly what it was advertised. Me and my family had a good and comfortable stay. The beds were also very comfortable. It is very close to the airport and the City Mall which had a big food court with many options for reasonable prices if you’re trying to save a little. Me and my family had a great stay.

I had a great stay! The place was clean and very comfortable, located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, perfect for relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible throughout the entire experience. Highly recommended!

The condo was very easy to locate, you will need your passport when you check in with the gate guard. This was he can make sure the on the spell all the names correct & they match the reservation.

Thank you Tanya and Rod for being great hosts, they made us feel right at home, they were so kind and responsive! super recommended 👌🏻

Our plane was delayed so by the time we got our rental car and arrived it was almost 3am. 24hr security was very friendly, assigned parking was easy to find and is right at the entrance to the building and elevator. We were able to leave our car safely and wait till the morning to unpack. Very quiet and clean condo grounds. The condo was comfortable with nearby places to eat and easy access to airport. We were a family of 4, 11yr and 12yr old kids and stayed very comfortable.

The home is in a beautiful neighborhood and well equipped. We appreciated the comfortable beds, the gorgeous balcony, and the convenience to local markets. Thank you!

I always stay here when I need to be close to SJO airport. This condo is clean, safe, comfortable and easy to get to. It’s around the corner from city mall, which is super convenient. Also the place has a fully equipped kitchen as well as some snacks and drinks for purchase in the unit. Alejandro is an excellent host. I highly recommend this place as a home base in San Jose.
