A lake outlook for lingering and birdwatching
Tropical flowers and birdlife give Villa Decary's gardens a reason to hold your attention. In Nuevo Arenal, the inn looks out over Lake Arenal and the surrounding rainforest, with a terrace where you can spend time watching birds and enjoying the scenery. It is an inviting setting for a trip that leaves room for quieter pleasures as well as excursions.
Rooms and private villas bring a comfortable, home-like character to the stay. Hosts Suzy and Dan share their knowledge of the region, adding a personal welcome to this smaller property. A morning need not begin with a hurried departure; some time on the terrace can be an appealing start in its own right.
Choose with the hillside access in mind
Match the approach to your room with the way you want to move through the property:
- Villas and casitas may require a strenuous climb upstairs. Consider that approach alongside the appeal of extra privacy.
- Deluxe Rooms are more easily accessible. Discuss the route to your room if stairs are a concern, and confirm the access if you need a step-free stay.
Beyond the inn, Lake Arenal opens up possibilities for windsurfing, fishing and boat tours. Arenal Volcano National Park adds hiking and the region's hot springs to a wider itinerary. The owners can also arrange yoga classes in the area, giving you another option for a day at a gentler pace.
Villa Decary suits travelers drawn to gardens, birdwatching and a personal welcome around the lake. Let the terrace and grounds take their place in the trip: the chance to stop, watch and enjoy the view is part of why you might choose to stay here.
