We really enjoyed our bunglow type room. Had everything we needed. Breakfast was very good with lots of options and the best freshest juices! The property with all the hot spring pools was awesome even tho the hot springs were alittle luke warm. We enjoyed an amazing couples massage - highly recommend! Staff and service was top notch. We look forward to staying there again and are thinking about bringing our children and grandchildren with as its a perfect place for a family vacation!

The staff was very helpful and accommodating. I booked a massage right before they were closing and was thus able to enjoy a very peaceful and amazing massage. I also forgot my swimwear at the pool and they were sweet to keep it and I was able to collect it later when I remembered haha.

Our stay at Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort was truly special. The staff went above and beyond, leaving us a thoughtful surprise to celebrate our anniversary - it was such a sweet touch that made us feel incredibly welcomed and valued. The views of Arenal Volcano were nothing short of breathtaking! Waking up to the sight of this natural wonder was an unforgettable experience that added to the magic of our stay. The restaurant also delivered with its delicious food, serving up flavorful dishes. The hot springs were a unique highlight, offering a variety of pools that allowed for privacy and relaxation. While they weren’t as hot as expected, the abundance of options made up for it. We actually found ourselves spending more time in the hot tub, where the warmth was perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure.

Absolutely gorgeous property with beautiful volcano views! Happy hours at each pool and many hot springs to relax in after a long day. There were tons of animals out and about at any given time and the lush plants around made you feel deep in the rainforest! It’s also super close to downtown La Fortuna, the waterfall, volcano national park, etc. so perfect location! The staff was absolutely incredible. They offered us a complimentary meal on our last night as appreciation for our stay- I was blown away by the personalized touches and hospitality from all of the employees I interacted with. I can’t recommend this hotel enough!!
