Casa Donna Rosa B&B, hotel in San Rafael

Situated in Nuevo Arenal, Casa Donna Rosa B&B features accommodation with rooftop pool, free WiFi and free private parking for guests who drive.

What best defines this place is the amazing atmosphere created by the hosts. It’s something truly special, unlike anything we’ve experienced elsewhere. It genuinely feels like a home you become part of during your stay. There’s also the opportunity to see beautiful birds up close from the house’s terraces. The hosts were incredibly helpful in planning our days and recommending activities. Lastly, the fantastic breakfast deserves a mention—it kept us full all the way until dinner. We give this place our highest recommendation and would love the chance to visit again.

    I honestly do not understand the bad reviews, the place is certainly not a fancy hotel or anything but rather a small family run inn and therefore is very basic and simple but the hosts were super nice, the rooms were clean and the breakfast was really good. So if you are looking for something to stay for a night to see Rio Celeste which is just 10mins, and want to actually see 100% of your money go to a local family its a good place.

    great taste in the rooms decorations made the stay feel more luxurious, the location was amazing - surrounded by wildlife and the river a short walk away. The staff were really friendly and helpful, booking tours even at late notice (highly recommend chocolate tour and tubing). a wonderful family run business next to the beautiful Volcan Tenorio!

    The Celeste cottage was perfect for couples or a small family. A traditional rustic FINCA, the cabana was cozy, surround by a large patio, gardens where birds. Hummingbirds came in regularly. There were trails and Rio Celeste was a short walk away in a private paradise. Ileana was a lovely hostess, cooked a traditional breakfast to set us up for axdayvof sight seeing and hiking. Tenorio park,. Tours, horseback riding were nearby.
