Just as a follow up, after my one star-recommendation the proprietor attempted to post a counter in my name with my e-mail! Kudos to hostelz.com for requiring verification (another site didn't if you happen to see it). Makes me wonder what other ridiculous glowing recommendations are from Manuel. Beware!!

We found the owners to be extremely friendly and helpful and enjoyed our stay greatly. The lodge is magnificent and we have never experienced such incredible service before. Elizabeth Danielle USA / New Haven elizabeth.danielle@yale.edu

This is way out of the way from the conveniences and good food of town. The owners are very unfriendly and the rooms smelled of mildew. When the clouds cleared for a view, it wasn't worth all we had given up to stay there. There are beautiful views everywhere!

My husband and I recently traveled to the Arenal area and stayed at Cerro Chato Eco Lodge and LOVED it. The proprietor Miguel Zamora and his wife Carmen were fabulous hosts. Our room was clean, comfortable and morning breakfast was always delicious and filling! Miguel was so accommodating and spoke perfect English. After seeing other places to stay in the Arenal and La Fortuna area, we were so happy that we booked with Cerro Chato. We would recommend this lodge to any travelers who are looking to get off the beaten path (Costa Rica is very touristy!) and stay in a quiet family owned B&B at the base of the volcano. This lodge is recommended in the travel books and we concur with all the praise for Cerro Chato!

This lodge is an oasis of calm outside La Fortuna. It has lovely clean rooms, in tropical-feeling gardens with fantastic views of Volcan Arenal. The owner, Miguel, is a friendly and welcoming host, and his wife cooks a fabulous breakfast served in the garden. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!
