Cabañas Los Laguitos Rio Celeste
Cabins three minutes from Tenorio Volcano National Park
About this stay
The three-minute taxi ride to Tenorio Volcano National Park is the single defining fact for this property, and it places these cabins firmly in the Rio Celeste area rather than at Lake Arenal itself, a distinction worth understanding before booking if Arenal Volcano views are the priority. Tilapiera Los Laguitos, a restaurant built around the property's own tilapia farming, is a one-minute walk away, giving guests a genuinely local dining option tied to the land the cabins sit on. With a strong review score from a smaller pool of guests, the cabins read as a quieter, lower-volume base than the larger Arenal-side resorts on this list. The roughly ninety-minute airport transfer is shorter than most properties here, consistent with proximity to Liberia over San Jose.

Our take
Cabañas Los Laguitos Rio Celeste is a Tenorio Volcano and Rio Celeste base, not an Arenal Volcano one, and I would book it with that geography in mind. Tenorio Volcano National Park is three minutes away by taxi and Tilapiera Los Laguitos restaurant a minute's walk, while the nearest airport is roughly ninety minutes by taxi. The 9.6 rating from 45 reviews points to a well-liked, low-key stay.
- ✓Confirm your itinerary is built around Tenorio Volcano and Rio Celeste before booking, not Lake Arenal.
- ✓Eat at Tilapiera Los Laguitos at least once, it is tied directly to the property and a one-minute walk.
- ✓Book Tenorio Volcano National Park entry ahead, it is a three-minute taxi ride from the cabins.
