This is a must stay for bed and breakfast goers, and bird watchers! Suzy and Olivia are wonderful! Suzy will help with you plan for whatever you'd like to do for the day! I wanted to go paddle boarding on the lake, and Suzy gave me plenty of options and set everything up! Olivia is a great company guide dog.... More

We were there in Mid February. The place is a little hard to find and best to get there before dark. But once you find it, the view of the lake is beautiful and the bird watching is terrific. But, most importantly, the staff are wonderful, kind, friendly helpful, no fuss. Woke up to an amazing view and birds all... More

We had a Wonderful experience staying at Villa Decary. Fantastic hosts and extremely accommodating staff made our stay memorable. Our view from the deluxe hotel room of the lake was perfect. Great bird watching!!! We highly recommend Villa Decary and hope we can return one day.

We had the pleasure of staying at Villa Decary for one night during our recent trip to CR (March 2013). We were very pleased with our choice and only wished we could have stayed there for longer. Suzy at Villa Decary answered many questions prior to our making the booking. She gave us a good recommendation for car rental which... More

The highlight... More

A wonderfully warm and welcoming small resort in a stunning garden setting with birds we couldn't believe (especially Toucans and Montezuma Oropendolas that looked like they flew off the pages of an Audubon book). We were welcomed by Miguel and Elkin as if we were friends of their families, and we later learned that it is sometimes possible to tour... More

The variety of bird life was unbelievable and Suzy despite complaining about the temperature even after spending the better part of December and January in Montreal, was very helpful in explaining what there was to...

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in February on a friend's recommendation and it was wonderful. The standard room was large, airy and bright with a balcony overlooking Lake Arenal (we swam) and the breakfast room deck, where fruit was put out in the morning to attract birds. We especially enjoyed watching the oropendolas constant nest building... More
