Vacation rentals in Río Platanar

Very comfortable with amazing views. Daniela was friendly and responsive. We had a great visit!

Spent an amazing 2 months at Chris's place. Exactly what we have hoped for. The grounds and property were absolutely stunning! A true little paradise, especially if you are bird lover! A wonderful location to walk and enjoy the beauty of the lake, or walk into town to experience one of the many amazing restaurants. After we spent a day exploring, it was so nice to come back and relax in the beautiful pool! The beds were very comfy and the linens were a nice treat. Last but not least, Chris' place made us feel so at home. Chris checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. And Alex( and of course , Cindy) the property manager/ grounds keeper, added to our amazing time, his friendly smile, his whistles as he works to maintain the beautiful gardens, his funny stories and his knowledge of his country that he is so passionate about, truly was the "icing on the cake" . We feel very lucky to have found Chris' place as we now feel like we have found another home! Dave & Lisa

Zen Village was awesome. It is designed so that individuals in a group have their own space and naturally gather in the outdoor kitchen and pool area. Hot tub was a hit. The caretakers were responsive and invited the children to milk cows. We were lucky with a cloud free view of Arenal.

Indian Cane House nearly ruined the rest of our vacation because it set the bar so high! Upon arrival, we were greeted and given the run down of the house. Everything was spotless! Amenities provided were a huge bonus. The area is so peaceful and private yet a short drive to town where we enjoyed several restaurants & coffee shops. We hired the recommended private chef for an evening and the dinner was incredible. As a bonus, we got to see two pairs of scarlet macaws in the trees next to the house. There was a little iguana, whom we called Cane, that made an appearance every time we used the pool. The group throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!!

We enjoyed our stay! It's a nice, clean home with scenic views in an authentic, safe community. We bought a few basics for breakfast (eggs, queso blanco, milk, coffee, juice) at the nearby community mini-market (a few blocks away) so we could make breakfast at the place. If you want fresh fruits & veggies, you should stop at a bigger market on your way (La Fortuna? Or El Castillo?). We ate dinner twice at the nearby La Terraza restaurant, which was good. We loved the batidos de fruta (fruit smoothies/shakes - 'de leche' ('of milk') . My favorite is the batido de papaya (de leche). My kids also tried the strawberry, pineapple, maracuya (and I think others, too!). We enjoyed the dishes we had there, too. Internet at the house can be spotty, but there's some cell reception, too. If you're on vacation and just checking your email from time to time and researching things to do in the area, it's fine; if you're looking to be a digital nomad, this is probably not the place for you.

First night have trouble figuring out water temperature (this is on my side issue) Jesse responded quickly and Send Elmer right away, very impressed response time. The driving direction is very helpful. Also give me the best time window to catch the cap of volcano’s beautiful sight in the morning . We are very fortunate to stay in this location/ host literally match the name La Fortuna. Thanks you, will stay again.

Leandro’s father met us and was the nicest gentleman you could imagine. Within minutes he was opening fresh coconuts and quenching our thirst from trees right beside the house. Later that evening, he was very helpful in rescuing us from a flat tire that we experienced in town. Take it very slow on the short stretch of road leading to the house. He then went the extra mile and waited with me for the mechanic to make sure everything was above board. We saw much diversity in bird species and various reptiles on the property. It was nicely situated between San Luis Adventure Park and La Fortuna. The pool was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised by the power of the recirculating jets which relieved my tight neck muscles! Fairly well stocked kitchen. AC worked quietly and efficiently in the bedrooms. Overall, a fantastic stay!

AMAZING. Such a beautiful and peaceful place, the view is WAY better in real, the room are big and clean with hot water, really a piece of paradise!!! The only thing to know, there is a breakfast for a great price available. Otherwise you need to think to buy some food to eat. It is not far away from the little town where you have a few restaurants (maybe 1-2?), a little convenient store and a place to get meat but it is a bumpy road to come back to get it, so think ahead and buy it before you get there!

This was our second time at this Airbnb, this time we brought our kids! It was so wonderful!! If you want a peaceful vacation, this is the place to go! With those beautiful views and the horses coming up the fence to say hello everyday, my heart was so happy!! This is a place where you need to spend your time outsides the inside furniture is not super comfortable but it does its job. The water got cold quickly, which was the only downside we had the whole trip. Otherwise, we plan to come back again in the future. I already miss the place so much! My kids loved it too! The hosts also helped me find a baker for my daughter’s birthday cake which was so nice of them!! They responded so fast via email which I appreciated!
