A magical oasis in paradise. A favorite experience ever. I stayed in the Frog room overlooking the lake. The owner is an artist and has designed every piece with intention. My only regret is not staying longer. Thanks you Rob and Monica for welcoming me into your palace. ##### Tannaz Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele 27 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### lucky bug it was the best treasure we have found on our trip.

I will always make Lucky Bug a part of my Costa Rica vacation. Thank you so much Ron and Monika!!! Danny and Sabrina and Ian too! ##### Michele ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful Retreat Lucky Bug was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The host greeted us warmly as he showed us to our room. The artistic touches in the room and on the grounds mirrored tactfully much of the external natural beauty of the place. The stars were beautiful upon our arrival (which may not be the norm) and the music of nature chorused loudly changing its tune to silence in the middle of the night to a new chorus of birds as the night progressed to day. The balcony of our room was a great place to sit and birdwatch while waiting for breakfast time. The food was fantastic and the view from the opposite side of the pond was also lovely. The service was warm and welcoming. We arrived by the road from La Fortuna after dark. There are no lines on the narrow serpentine road making it a bit of a stressful night drive. By day the same road had many lovely views. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/074BEFEB516989BAFA14FCEC65C9358AB0A1E8091741109886522.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E051285EC8BD79DFAE82F18278F647D1B8215C141741109882111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5D4A30CC9296C0523A63CBE46F9BEB73E2C0E29A1741109884292.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### C Girvani 11 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely unique property. Needs better lighting and needs to give better check in directions. Most obvious place labeled “Lucky Bug” was dark and locked -turns out this was breakfast place/restaurant and souvenir shop. B and B was down the road and not well marked in the dark ( my flight was cancelled and I arrived later than planned, just at dark. I sent a message but got no response) My room was advertised as “lake view” -turned out it was not Lake Arenal, but a pond on the property. Owners/ staff were very nice, and assisted with luggage which was great since I had been up all night at airport. ##### C Girvani Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie 30 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was met at the property by Rob, one of the two owners, who showed me to my room. The room was well-appointed and the bathroom was exquisitely decorated in tile and tasteful additions. Rob handed me soap wrapped in leaves from the land. He left as I settled in, but returned later to see if I would like an individual pizza as he and Monica were going out. He returned later with not only the hot and tasty pizza, but also bottle of wine to go with it. This visit was also preceded by travel misfortune. Again, I had no WIFI, and I wasted an hour or two going around in circle in Grecia. Then, when I hit the "highway", I still had no WIFI, so some mis-turns led to a near empty gas tank again. I asked for help from a gentleman walking on the side of the road. The nearest gas station was too far for me to drive with almost no gas. So, this gentleman, Luis, led me to his house, called his friend Fernando to come over, get a gas can, and travel the distance to pick up two gallons of gas. As we waited for him to return, we shared pictures of our families, drank, Coke and ate some of those wonderful Costa Rican cookies. Just as we finished, Fernando came with the gas. He filled the tank, left, and I requested his and Luis' address. I am so impressed with the all Costa Rican people I have met who go out of their ways to be friendly and helpful to me - a total stranger. The hosts of the places I have stayed during this trip have been gracious, thoughtful, and wonderful! ##### Laurie Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful family stay in April Our family of three (2 adults and one six year old) stayed at Lucky Bug B&B for one night in April on our way from LIR airport to La Fortuna to break up our travel day. We selected the B&B based on other reviews and we were so glad we did. Check-in was easy and quick; we were greeted by Monika, Rob, and their cats and dog (which my son loved!). We were able to park our car right next to the B&B, which is set back away from the main road and through a gate that is closed to those not staying at the B&B. We lucked out since we were the only ones staying that evening; it was very peaceful and the property is beautiful. It felt like a private oasis. We spent walking around looking at the flowers and plants and the pond on the property in the evening and again in the morning. It felt like we were far away from anyone and everything. Our stay in the sun-suite was perfect for us, as there was a big bed and then two other beds, a small kitchen, and living area to spread out. We enjoyed coffee in the room and on the patio in the morning before going to breakfast. In the morning, we had a fresh homemade breakfast with fruit, eggs, toast, and juice and coffee overlooking the pond and with hummingbirds flying nearby. A wonderful experience and we would stay here again, and recommend to anyone else in the area! :) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randy Yadir 31 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Viaje relajado El lugar es muy agradable, el desayuno fue muy bueno, la estadía en si permite desconectarse del bullicio y disfrutar de paz y tranquilidad rodeado de naturaleza. ##### Randy Yadir Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### PIERRE 18 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### B&B tres confortable Bed and breakfast un peu de new Arenal avec tout le confort .
