Holiday Rentals in Upala

"Two couples celebrating our 25-year anniversary! We loved everything about the Red Sunset of GUANACASTE from the house to the grounds to the swimming pool/hot tub, to the elaborate breakfast everyday! The view is fantastic of Lake Arenal, the cloud forest, Volcano Arenal. We had some overcast days, some rain, but enough clear weather to do all the activities we desired. Patrick and his staff were phenomenal hosts, making us feel welcome and pampered the whole time. We had Patrick cook for us...

"Great little spot, no frills but everything you need. Loved the cool weather and access to jungle!"

"The view from the front porch with the infinity pool is perfection! It has several eating spots within walking distance and is close to adventures in La Fortuna. "

"This was our first time to Costa Rica and we could not have been more blown away by this place! The house was spectacular and the surrounding rainforest where we could explore made the experience even more wonderful! We really enjoyed the dipping pool after spending the day exploring. The town of Nuevo Arenal was great! Very friendly people, great Sodas to eat at, and plentiful grocery stores. One note regarding the house, the upstairs and downstairs are not connected from the inside, only...

"The property is good floor plan and located with the view of the lake. There are two excellent restaurants about a three minute drive. The nearby town of Tilaran Is everything you would need. It is still rainy season which encourages you to get out early and be back by mid afternoon to enjoy the tropical rain. We would certainly consider using this location again"

"Place was absolutely amazing! Could not have asked for a better space or view. Even better, Coltin is by far the best property manager we’ve ever had at a rental. Not only was he there to help with the house but he and Celeste gave great recommendations on tours and even local restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!"

"This place was absolutely amazing!!! So quiet and peaceful. The walk down to the river was amazing! The only thing we wished was to stay more than 1 night!! Rick and Ashley are amazing hosts and we can’t wait to come back with our kids"

"This location is a bird watching, listening, paradise. The cabins are surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. The owner Cede is very friendly and accommodating. We had dinner and breakfast and both were delicious and reasonably priced. We stayed here Friday Nov. 8, 2024 and were the only guest due to the rainy season. Would love to return when it is NOT raining. The rooms were clean and spacious. A great place to stay and easy to get to with good roads. We toured the chocolate farm...

"Absolutely beautiful property in a totally private and stunning location - the photos do not do this place justice!!! Our host was so welcoming and generous, with the remote location he suggested great takeaway deliveries and we had delicious pizzas ordered to our door, however there is also a local town within driving distance to eat out. The roads we understand will soon be updated as other properties are built on the same site, currently it would be easier to access the property with a...

"It was a great place to stay. The size was perfect for 5 adults and 2 children. The only thing I would caution is there is only one room with an AC, and from what we found only one fan. (All had ceiling fans but the ceiling is so high it was hard to feel any breeze.) So it was a little hotter than I’m used to sleeping in however I would absolutely stay again. The view alone was worth it!!!! Property managers were quick to help with anything and it was only a short drive into town. Perfect...

"This was our 3rd stay with Brett and we always have an amazing time! So much to do and see on property!! Close enough to La Fortuna for other tourist aimed stuff too!"

"Bret and his crew were awesome people, friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The property is wonderful, we hiked it almost everyday following the many trails and finding plateaus with amazing views of Lake Arenal. Sitting on the patio having a favourite beverage, we listened to howler monkeys, saw white faced monkeys, and many species of birds including parrots and toucans. Overall we had a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend a stay at CRParaiso."

"This place was really nice. There’s a great view that is only open to gas of the property. It is conveniently located near the volcanic park as well as tours for Tubing and swimming in the river. The host Elias was very accommodating and he was understanding of our trip, timing and tour timings and make sure we could shower after we return from the hike. He also recommended lots of activities in the area. Very nice hammock on the balcony. Best view of the countryside, this is not a hotel and...

"Beautiful property. We were there during a heat wave. The only AC is the attic room with 1 twin and 2 futon beds. It is a duplex, but it is huge. The garage is communal, but you have your own washer and dryer."

"This was our first night in Costa Rica. We picked to stay here to split the drive to la fortuna and to be able to stop at Rio Celeste. It’s close to Rio Celeste. The town itself seems abanded. The owner of this property is very sweet. The area is loud, close to the road and constantly hearing traffic. The cabin type room has a large portable fan which was great. Shower works well. Good stay for 1 night. "

"We had a wonderful time at the house. The location was amazing with lake views, close proximity to good restaurants, and relatively easy access to the cloid forest and the volcan arenal area. Overall it was a very good experience."

"Our host Diego was very helpful with giving us information about the area. The house was absolutely beautiful and well kept. Could accommodate large families as it’s very spacious. Beautifully landscaped yard with outdoor eating area and bbq. The house was stocked with everything you might need. We could use their double car garage. We had a very enjoyable stay!"

Patrick and his staff were phenomenal hosts, making us feel welcome and pampered the whole time. We had Patrick cook for us twice, a Costa Rican dinner and a French dinner. Both were fantastic and included a delectable dessert. All of Patrick’s recommendations were excellent in terms of the best restaurants, a hanging bridge tour, a zip line package, a river tour, and more. He helped us with reservations even the day of so that we could be flexible depending on the weather conditions. We plan to come back, inviting at least 4 other couples to join us on another amazing adventure here, staying at the Red Sunset of GUANACASTE!"

"You can't get any closer to the hike for Rio Celeste and it is so much better tonight hike first thing in the morning before it gets too crowded and the animals are all still out! This place was so charming and simple. The staff are beyond hospitable and it feels like you are a guest of a family. The restaurant on site is very good and open until 8pm. We loved this stay and are so glad we booked it. The single beds creak a bit but we slept well anyway Breakfast was really good and the sausage was delicious!!! If you want an authentic experience, to see red eyed tree frogs at night and are open to off the beaten path this place was an incredible find at a great value. There is also a shop and another restaurant on the same little road, along with mountain bike rentals. Side note... If you get offered a guide to the waterfall it will be worth every penny! We did this upon arrival and are so glad we did "

Paradise!

The town of Nuevo Arenal was great! Very friendly people, great Sodas to eat at, and plentiful grocery stores. One note regarding the house, the upstairs and downstairs are not connected from the inside, only from the outside. With little kids, dad slept upstairs with a kid and mom was downstairs with the others. But this set up is great for families with older kids or two families vacationing together. "
