My boyfriend and I loved everything about the property! There are golf carts to take you everywhere around the property at anytime and umbrellas available on every corner in case of rain. The food and service was amazing each time. We had the same waitress our whole entire stay(Cindy) who was super sweet and patient with us! Cindy is amazing. We are so happy we met her. Every other staff member we interacted with was awesome as well and very helpful. This property was very romantic and intimate. It also had everything we needed. THANK YOU AMOR ARENAL!

Truly amazing property. It’s so nice that it is easy to forget you are in a jungle, until it’s night and all the jungle bugs want to try to get into the room - but can’t. Deck hot tub is the place to be with an amazing view. Dining was very good and staff were ultra attentive and accommodating.

Room was beautiful. Staff was extremely helpful when booking excursions, using the shuttle to get to town, and getting around the property especially in the rain. Food at the hotel was good but it's also close to town and you can get good food while out. Spa was great.

Horrible Customer Service: Gina Sepulveda

Gina Sepulveda, operations manager, was the most rude, hostile employee our family has encountered in all of our travels. We had reservations and plans for months largely due to traveling with a disabled daughter. We traveled from the US and upon arrival at the hotel gate Gina stopped us and told us that we were not allowed on the property. That my family of 5 needed to make other arrangements due to the fact that we had a 12 year old, not their 13 year old minimum age policy. NO ONE had communicated this policy to us once during months of prior communication to set up spa treatments, wheelchair access, etc. My girls were told to go sit to the side while we waited 45 minutes to speak with the hotel manager. My 12 year old was in tears because she was made to feel like this was all of her fault. This treatment by Gina Sepulvedo was cruel, aggressive, and the opposite of "Pure Vida". Costa Rica is a beautiful place and we had a wonderful experience until this heartbreaking and humiliating encounter. Our last night of vacation. Gina, you should be ashamed of yourself and Amor Arenal, you need to do better. Customer service and how you treat people is everything. Fortunately, the Springs Resort welcomed our family last minute and treated us with the same kindness and hospitality we had been shown throughout Costa Rica.

From arrival to check out this resort has gone above and beyond. Not only is the property beautiful and well-maintained but the people are so kind. We will forever remember some of the people we met, Ronald, Leonardo, Natalia (hostess at restaurant), reception and the multiple golf cart drivers. I will forever remember my 40th birthday because of the top notch hospitality we received. Thank you Amor Arenal.

It is a magical place surrounded by nature. The property is wonderfully elegant and beautiful. It shows a deep love for nature and extraordinary sense of blending it with the highest quality of comfort. This hotel is just simply unique. The attention to detail is everywhere. Service is faultless and most friendly. The food experience was excellent. I plan to come back again and would highly recommended it.

Amazing stay in a beautiful hotel

We stayed at Amor Arenal for 3 nights and had the most amazing time. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the room was beautiful and the facilities in the room were brilliant. All staff were incredible, from check in to the restaurants. The food at the restaurant was also incredible! We managed to see the volcano from our room and the restaurant, so beautiful. It isn’t walking distance to anything but that didn’t matter for us. The yoga & meditation platform was under construction while we were there unfortunately but other than that, it was faultless!
