This place was amazing! Our Villa literally had everything we needed including a washer/dryer! My kids enjoyed the pool. The virtual concierge was great in booking all our activities from zip- lining and white water rafting. We didn’t need to worry about anything. We used Uber to get into town which wasn’t expensive. If we return to La Fortuna only staying at BAUMA!

This is a great option for staying in the rainforest. The units are brand new, nicely designed and overall fantastic! The immediate location isn’t spectacular but it’s close to the main road and town. I would stay again.

Beautiful place for a couple.

Enjoyed our overnight stay here. Absolutely beautiful design. Convenient location though it could really benefit from a sign near the road. Took us a few attempts to locate the entrance in the dark but once we did they whole property was a lovely surprise of beautiful design. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows! American and Dutch couple! Fairly private as well which was nice.

PROS: - Very cool room, jacuzzi and shower definitely the highlights. - Surprisingly walkable to all restaurants/main road. - Very easy check in/out (key in lockbox outside bungalow). - Easy to text with staff with needs. - Kitchenette really came in handy! Was all prepped with dish soap/sponge, paper towels, pots/pans, cutlery, plates/bowls, etc. CONS: - I let the staff member know that our bathroom sink wasn't draining properly (over text). Even though she responded that they'd handle it, it was never done. - You have to text and ask for new sheets/towels. I think for the price, they should at least be routinely making the bed for you daily and providing fresh towels. - TV didn't work properly in the room - Wish there was a way to lock the room from the inside without needing the key

The property feels brand new. It has the feel of a very nice AirBNB without any of the drawbacks you usually see these days. BAUMA has excellent housekeeping and responsive service for whatever issues arise. The villa was comfortable and spacious. The private pool was large enough for our family of four to enjoy every evening with Arenal peeking just past the greenery privacy walls. The design and utility of the space is perfect. My kids preferred the hotel to most activities we did in the Fortuna/Arenal area.

The private hot tub was the highlight. Clean, heated, accessible. Beautiful shower, comfortable room. Convenient location. A bit off the main drag, which was a big plus but would be a negative if we didn't have a rental car. Highly recommended.

Bauma was a beautiful getaway. The structure was very unique! It had great outdoor space, with a little oasis out our double sliding doors. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub after a full day of hiking and adventure. Great balcony with sofa looking out towards Arenal and a front balcony to watch the sunrise. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. The space was nice and welcoming. Plenty of room for storing luggage and clothes. Equipped kitchenette and a very refreshing shower. The gentleman on duty when we arrived was super kind and informative. I would definitely stay here again. An added bonus was the North Fields coffee and chocolate tour across the street. We really enjoyed this tour and being able to walk to and from our Loft.
