Villa Margerita is an amazing cozy place to stay. The owner and the staff are super nice and make you feel welcomed. We spent one night in transition from SJO to the Arenal but ai would have spent more days just relaxing in the area. Defintely a 5 star!

This is a very welcoming place to stay with friendly pets - made us feel at home although had all the character of a costa rican villa! We would book here again in a heartbeat! My boys loved the extra space on the grounds and breakfast and patios with hammocks were a treat!
