we arrived after sundown, greeted by our worldtraveled host, alan, who in addition to giving us directions, suggested ( we luckily agreed ) having his chef prepare a delicious costarican fish and chicken ( for our 2 girls) dinner- the house is stunning, but we only truly experienced its beauty in the morning, when we we awakened to the eerie...

We had a wonderful stay at Birdsong in February. The view is to die for, and the food delicious. We had a lovely meal cooked by Allan's housekeeper and her husband the evening we arrived, which was really nice as the B&B is quite remote and up a very bumpy road. Allan joined us for breakfast with his green parrot,... More

We stayed in the upper level of Birdsong for two nights in February and absolutely loved it. Birdsong is located in El Castillo almost at the end of a rocky bumpy dirt road in El Castillo and having a car is a must! It is very private and remote. You will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Arenal Volcano... More

Just wanted to let anyone who is thinking about renting lower level know that the "kitchen" is not fully equipped. We had to request pots, lids, knife, dish soap. Had to return the lid to a pot upstairs so the cook could prepare a meal. The countertop 3 burner stove didn't have a propane tank or hookup. The rooms were... More

My wife and I stayed at Birdsong last week during our honeymoon, and had a wonderful time! Though it was overcast and drizzling during our two days there, we had incredible views of dramatic clouds rolling through the rain forest and down to Lake Arenal. The mist coming up from the jungle looks straight out of a Hollywood film, just... More

My visit to Birdsong Arenal was magical. The hospitality and generosity was amazing. A private tour of the jungle adjacent to property by the manager was so nice. Every morning breakfast was served and regardless of the request, if it was possible, the host provided. I highly recommend a visit to Birdsong. Don NOT miss the mountain top tranquility.

My girlfriend and I stayed here a couple of nights and we had a great time. Allan the owner was very helpful and friendly, and well connected with the community. The place is fantastic, the view is to die for and the overall feel of the big room is of elegance and beauty. It was a great view even though... More

We are a family of four with two teenage kids (13 & 19) and we rented the entire house for four nights. We all loved the house and the beautiful views it offered. My two kids slept in the lower level and were completely comfortable and happy. There is a queen bed and a hide-away queen mattress so they were... More

Great communications from owner! Had teens and younger kids - they all loved it! Owner gives you personal attention and advice to maximize your pleasure! We only stayed 2 nights but needed more time for all this area had to offer. For sure this is the place to stay. We watched the volcano go off from bed and while at... More
