The Bauma villa was clean, spacious and well stocked. It’s in a perfect location for exploring La Fortuna. We loved the privacy and the space we had for our family. Highly recommend for an alternative to a hotel stay.

Phenomenal and one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Perfect for those who seek privacy and quiet yet still close enough to the town and stores/restaurants for convenience. It felt more like an upscale Air B&b than a hotel. Keys are in a lockbox at your assigned unit upon arrival. We stayed in a Loft and loved it. Spotless clean. We used the small kitchen every day for breakfast and some dinners. The Loft has three outdoor seating areas! Two upstairs and one on the lower level with a hot tub. From the upstairs areas we saw a toucan, howler monkey, and various birds. The bathroom is large with all amenities. Free parking just steps away from the unit. A grocery store is a short 8 minute walk away. And centre of town is only 30 minutes on foot. Only criticism is there could be a few more hooks in the hallway for wet jackets. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Everything about the villa was 🔥🔥🔥, from cleanliness, amenities and staff. This was an amazing birthday celebration. I was able to have private chef, backdrop with balloons and a private musician come for my birthday. The villa looks exactly like the pictures. I would definitely recommend Bauma Villa.

Such an amazing place to stay. Everything was clean and very friendly. Everything is communicated through whatsapp which is very common for country’s like Costa Rica, so be sure to download the app. Everything was a breeze. Long drive from the air port but very worth it me and my wife loved every second of being there. The morning views with coffee were amazing.

My stay at Bauma Hotel was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I arrived, it felt like my own private oasis. The hotel’s location offers breathtaking views of the volcano, creating a stunning backdrop that made every morning and evening unforgettable.
The room itself was comfortable and beautifully designed, but the shower was the true highlight, so relaxing and luxurious that I genuinely didn’t want to get out. It became one of my favorite parts of the stay!
Another major plus was the hotel’s prime location. It was perfectly situated for exploring the town, making it easy to get around and enjoy everything the area has to offer.
Overall, Bauma Hotel exceeded all my expectations. Amazing views, exceptional comfort, and a great location. I couldn’t have asked for more. I had an absolutely wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The virtual staff was very responsive and helpful, the location is good and the place was clean. Overall, it was nice and met our needs. There’s consistent street noise, however, which we found hard for sleeping, and at the time of our stay, there was active construction noise next door, which took away from our relaxing afternoon after a busy morning. The kitchen was stocked well enough for very simple meals but would benefit from better cooking tools. La Fortuna is a great base for the Arenal area.
