What a special place! It was like staying with a friend of a friend in their house. The staff and ambiance made our 1 night stay very relaxing and comfortable. Great beds, too! The owner, Trent, was super friendly and interesting to talk to. The creek and trees and plants made you feel like you were staying in the middle... More

This place is beautiful, the pictures just don't do it justice. A quaint 4 room inn secluded on a gorgeously maintained property, close enough to town to take a $2 taxi and on the bus route to Tileron and La Fortuna. The rooms are small and simple but clean and comfortable and the rest of the communal area such as... More

We ended up at the Auga Inn because it's location and affordability. Our plan was to stay there as a base for visiting near-by attractions. However, we ended up spending half our time on the lovely property. I generally prefer a rude motel clerk to the intimacy of a B&B, but the owner, Trent, made us feel very welcome and... More

My daughters and I stayed at Agua Inn and Spa and had the most amazing experience ever. The property itself was absolutely magical and the owners Trent and family were the most gracious of hosts. We had planned to make a trip to see the volcano but were so comfortable and at peace that we decided to spend our 2... More

The Agua Inn & Spa is a hidden gem in the Neuvo Arenal area. You are surrounded by the most beautifulest river and jungle I have ever seen. The river really goes around on 3 sides of the pool area. The breakfast and coffee while at this location are the most tranquil I have witnessed in any of my travels... More

This tranquil setting B&B was recommended when the one we wanted to stay in was closed. I'm afraid they've lost a customer as I will now always stay in and recommend Trent and Juavier's place. With only 4 rooms all with lusciously comfortable beds, large bathrooms, great showers, and beautiful sounds of the rushing creek, birds of all kinds, chirping... More

I went with a friend to Lake Arenal for the first time. As two women I was a little cautious about where we were traveling and how we would get there. But from the moment I spoke to Trent on the phone I knew I was in good hands. He gave us great travel advice and we found Agua Inn... More

I agree with other reviewers that this an excellent place to stay at Lake Arenal. While it provides no volcano view, this small protected valley near the lake offers a beautiful and relaxing retreat away from the strong winds or oppressive sun on the lake. (You can see Arenal Volcano from many other locations around the lake.) Owner Trent is... More
