Refugio de Vida Silvestre y Eco Hospedaje Oasis Arenal

Arenal Oasis Eco Lodge & Wildlife Reserve is a secluded, quaint hotel with plenty on offer. Stayed for 3 nights in a two person cabin. The rooms are a little on the small side for two with limited storage. The lodges are spread out away from each other so they feel private and there is no noise leakage. In the lodges there are the basics all hotels need, there is minimal storage so we had to live out of our suitcases. The hotel itself offers a good traditional breakfast with 3 different options on offer. The hotel restaurant also does lunch and dinner at additional charge. The night walk is worth every penny and our guide made us all feel very safe. We saw a wide range of wildlife from frogs to spiders to snakes. Flash lights are provided for all guests. The hotel itself is roughly 45 minute walk from La Fortuna which can be a struggle in the heat.

We had an incredible night tour with Juan. He had so much knowledge to share, we loved our tour with him learning about all the frogs, snakes, birds and lizards that live on his natural land. The butterfly tour was great, his biology experience was impressive. We also saw a mother and baby sloth. Highly recommend a night tour, butterfly and sloth tour with Juan

We had the most amazing visit to the Arenal Oasis Eco Lodge! We were in house 3. It was large, clean, and very safe. Breakfasts were amazing, get there early in the am to get the most of the visiting animals and birds , who come for their fruit buffet. Such friendly staff, and what an amazing compound right in the rainforest. Our girls also loved the frog tour & the butterfly house.

They have done a nice job to make you feel like you are in the jungle here. The cottages are nestled in the trees and there is plenty of birdsong. Good food and service at the restaurant and there is a bird ‘display’ while you eat - go and you’ll see!

Lovely individual cabin with very comfortable bed, very clean, good shower. Delicious breakfast, served at the table we chose the traditional Costa Rican breakfast of rice, scrambled egg, cheese, and plantain. Plus tropical fruits. Really helpful staff at reception and an easy to follow trail within the grounds plus a butterfly garden and lovely gardens to enjoy.

The room was ok for a night stay. The room had a double bed and a single that made it a bit cramped. The restaurant was pretty good. The grounds are nice walk with plenty of birds and butterflies. Too much maintenance with loud leaf blower on the trail that was disturbing of both visitors and wildlife.

We experienced a great night walk in the forest at Oasis. The tour guide was amazing and got some great frog sightings of all 5 frog varieties. My 2 yr old enjoyed the most!!

You truly are immersed in nature. We fell asleep to crickets humming and woke to howler monkeys and birds chirping. There’s only 10 bungalows so it feels very secluded. Very refreshing. Shower had hot water. Surprisingly close to town, very convenient spot and felt secure.||Incredible service, the restaurant was a good price and delicious food. Free breakfast when you’re staying there.||We opted for the night walk ($35/pp if you’re staying there) and got to see snakes, spiders, insects and frogs. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Small group too which made it easy to see things.||I would 100% stay here again.
