Overall: The villa was very spacious and in good condition. Enjoyed Most: Nice pool and quiet backyard. Really enjoyed the open air deck. Enjoyed Least: Too warm at night. The bedrooms need fans. Surrounding Area: We really like the Arenal beach area. The beach was beautiful and the promenade along the beach was filled with wonderful shops and restaurants. Nearby Events or Locales: There were a few shops and stores in walking distance, but a car is really necessary to see the area. Tips or Restaurants: Several good restaurant recommendations including Lungo Mare for Italian, Monsoon Thai, and India Palace buffet. Directions: You really need a GPS system to find the villa. The house numbering system in the development is not very intuitive.
