“Pura Vida! Exceptional Food!”

Hands-down, the best food I’ve ever had. The experience that comes with it is second to none. Chef Eyal has personality and soul.

Hands-down, the best food I’ve ever had. The experience that comes with it is second to none. Chef Eyal has personality and soul. He is passionate about the food he cooks in a way that can only be described as Amazing! The most authentic human being I ever met. My wife and I have made this a two or three day stop on every visit we make to Costa Rica since 2010. The rooms are unique, clean and express the Arenal environment.

We had a fantastic dinner at Gingerbread in Nuevo Arenal. The tasting menu was a journey around the world, with fresh, creative dishes introduced personally by Chef Eyal. The tuna poke—caught that day—was a highlight, and the stuffed lomito was rich and perfectly cooked. Don’t miss the famous boca negra dessert! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with locals at the bar and even a friendly house cat who stopped by our table. A truly memorable evening—highly recommend!

This was the highlight of our 2 week trip. On an unplanned trip from the beach we did not have a place booked and were heading towards La Fortuna. We are happier off the beaten path so, on our drive, we saw a sign, pulled in and hoped for a gem. Natalia met us at the door and we were taken by her energy and kindness. She showed us the only room they had available and we were thrilled with it. 2 queen beds, perfect for our family of 4 (kids 11 and 9). We quickly felt welcome and were immediately engaged in the flow of the property. 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners, all of which we are still talking about. Our son celebrated his 9th birthday at the Gingerbread and Eyal and Natalia made it so special for him every time they saw him! If we were not booked for our next destination we would have happily stayed there the next 5 nights. Thank you so much for your hospitality and inclusion. We loved meeting your expat friends from around the country. What a cool place. Meeting Eyal he said, "what was once a dream is now our reality".

This hotel is a must visit! You will want to go out of your way to stop by, even if just for dinner. Mr Eyal is the owner of the hotel and is a chef. His creations are amazing. He brings world wide flavor influences and presents masterful cuisine choices. The most discerning gastronome will not be disappointed. If you stay in the hotel, the rooms all have their own themed decor. Amazing location in the jungle, set between Arenal volcano and the lake by the same name. Do not miss this place! We will return.
