We did not stay here, but enjoyed coming for drinks and food several times during our stay at Lake Arenal. We did see the rooms though, and they are beautiful. The owners and the staff are friendly and welcoming, and create a fun, lighthearted atmosphere. You instantly feel like an old friend.

This was an amazing lunch spot on the road from Liberia to Arenal. The staff and owner were so friendly and my husband swears they had the best fish tacos he had in all of Costa Rica - and he had a ton! Great views from the restaurant as well.

My husband and I, along with another couple, stayed at Toad Hall for four amazing & memorable nights. Collectively, we have been to many different parts of the world and have stayed at many different resorts/hotels/B&Bs along the way. We would easily rate Toad Hall as one of our favourite travel experiences of all time. I don't usually write reviews,... More

From our arrival to our "sad" goodbye we were in love with Toad Hall.

Jeff and Lidia are the salt of the earth (as well as their friendly staff). We met people from all over... More

We met the owners and they are really good people. The view and the setting alone are worth the stop. Bar, restaurant, gift shop and hotel all in one without the "touristy feel". Could only give 4 stars because our itineryary didn't allow us to spend the night or eat. We did get a tour of the rooms and I... More
