Villas Santa Maria - Arenal
About this stay
This villa property pairs a kitchen option with full-service laundry, a combination aimed squarely at travelers settling in for several nights rather than passing through. An outdoor pool and air conditioning cover the daily comfort basics, and free breakfast is included alongside the self-catering option, giving guests flexibility between cooking and a provided morning meal. Restaurante la Casa de Dona Celina is a six-minute taxi ride away for dinner out. Accessible rooms extend the property to guests with mobility needs, and the airport shuttle removes the need to arrange a separate taxi for the three-hour-plus transfer from San Jose. With a perfect review score from a smaller pool of guests, this is a quieter, less-reviewed property than the larger resorts on this list.
