This was a wonderful find. The property is well maintained and very beautiful. The staff is courteous. The food was really good. We had massage and that was also fantastic. I would recommend.

A charming place to stay. Loved it! Air conditioning is the only thing I wish it had.

Absolutely beautiful property! Cozy & comfortable room, delicious breakfast with homemade touches (jam & salsa).

Lovely grounds, rooms and breakfast area (breakfast is delicious!). This was our 2nd stay here, and we hope to return

Great place to see some wildlife, peaceful, lush grounds

An amazing place for nature lover !

We had a wonderful time at the Lucky Bug. Very clean , cozy, attention to details makes this B&B a place we would return any time. A beautiful tropical garden is surrounding . Rob was a great host available at any time and making sure we have everything we needed. Breakfast was very good, served on a terrace with an amazing view , lots of Hummingbirds and Iguana on the tree. We just loved everything !

Lovely unique property. Needs better lighting and needs to give better check in directions. Most obvious place labeled “Lucky Bug” was dark and locked -turns out this was breakfast place/restaurant and souvenir shop. B and B was down the road and not well marked in the dark ( my flight was cancelled and I arrived later than planned, just at dark. I sent a message but got no response) My room was advertised as “lake view” -turned out it was not Lake Arenal, but a pond on the property. Owners/ staff were very nice, and assisted with luggage which was great since I had been up all night at airport.

Wonderful family stay in April

Our family of three (2 adults and one six year old) stayed at Lucky Bug B&B for one night in April on our way from LIR airport to La Fortuna to break up our travel day. We selected the B&B based on other reviews and we were so glad we did. Check-in was easy and quick; we were greeted by Monika, Rob, and their cats and dog (which my son loved!). We were able to park our car right next to the B&B, which is set back away from the main road and through a gate that is closed to those not staying at the B&B. We lucked out since we were the only ones staying that evening; it was very peaceful and the property is beautiful. It felt like a private oasis. We spent walking around looking at the flowers and plants and the pond on the property in the evening and again in the morning. It felt like we were far away from anyone and everything. Our stay in the sun-suite was perfect for us, as there was a big bed and then two other beds, a small kitchen, and living area to spread out. We enjoyed coffee in the room and on the patio in the morning before going to breakfast. In the morning, we had a fresh homemade breakfast with fruit, eggs, toast, and juice and coffee overlooking the pond and with hummingbirds flying nearby. A wonderful experience and we would stay here again, and recommend to anyone else in the area! :)

Lucky Bug was the highlight of my CR trip! A magical oasis in paradise. A favorite experience ever. I stayed in the Frog room overlooking the lake. The owner is an artist and has designed every piece with intention. My only regret is not staying longer. Thanks you Rob and Monica for welcoming me into your palace.

Amazing place to stay!

What an amazing place! The setting is absolutely gorgeous! The owners were so attentive and helpful and the breakfasts were the best we had our whole trip. We decided to eat at the restaurant the first night and our meals were so good that we ate there our second night as well. We used this place as our base to explore from and are really glad we did. Highly recommend the Lucky Bug!

We loved all of it, from check in until leaving- such beautiful grounds, attentive service and fantastically decorated room!

Stunning room surrounded by beautiful lake and garden

Lucky Bug B&B was a gem of a place to stop for the night between La Fortuna and Monteverde. Property was gorgeous with hundreds of types of plants in the landscape surrounding their pond - felt like a jungle oasis. Charming room and comfy bed. Delicious breakfast and the best blackberry jam I've ever had. Thanks Rob and Monika!

The owners were exceptionally nice to deal with and they treated us like we were family. We felt like we were friends by the time we left. They have quite a bit of acreage on the property and it backs to the surrounding forest. Highly recommended for those people who do not want to stay in those big tourist hotels.

Beautiful property & good location for exploring the area. Proprietress seems shy. Wish we could have met her and heard her stories from 25 years here but alas, she was rather elusive.

Loved it, beautiful place. Flowers, decor, grounds are all fabulous. Food was delicious.

get away

Great food!! Monica is from Germany and I have not had as good food since I lived in Germany. The hummingbird feeders are always full and busy with 4 to 5 different hummingbirds. There are other birds in the garden area. Lots of frogs to listen too at night as well. Clean and friendly. I would stay here again anytime.

Beautiful property with a small lake, amid a botanical garden setting.

Lake Arenal area B&B

The facility is excellent, well maintained, and our room was quiet and nice. The included breakfast is freshly prepared, good and varies each day. The restaurant is not always open in the evening, depending upon how many guests or locals arrive at it fairly early that night.

Great place for your visit

This B&B is gorgeous. It is small (maybe 4 or 5 rooms) facility on beautiful gardened property. There is a small lake with a canoe you can use. The breakfast area is in the restaurant a small walk around the lake. The attached gift shop is realy more of an art shop with higher quality items than most places. We used this B&B as the launch pad to visit Rio Celeste. (about an hour away over the mountain -- much on a relatively well mainatined gravel road) If we were to do it over, we would stay here much longer and also use it as a base to do the activities in the tourist area of MT Arenal and La Fortuna. -- THIS IS SO MUCH MORE LIKE THE RELAXING PLACE YOU GO TO COSTA RICA FOR I didn't mention the swarms of hummingbirds having breakfast with you. Or, the Butterfly garden! and ...
