“Vistaverde Lodge sits perched above Santa Elena, offering private rooms that face Arenal Volcano and the surrounding vista; expect wind-swept views and locally-sourced food including morning coffee from beans grown on site. The family-run lodge is welcoming and warm, though a car is recommended for exploring the surrounding area. In my opinion, this is a place for those who value breathtaking scenery and authentic hospitality.”
