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!!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort for our honeymoon. We have stayed at numerous hotels internationally and we can honestly say that Arenal Manoa is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The hotel itself is beautiful (the scenery is stunning and wildlife is incredible) and our room was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. The hotel facilitates were well looked after and the pool area was always clean. The hot springs were wonderful and there are plenty of them, even when it was busier. The staff are incredibly friendly and could not do enough to help us enjoy our stay. We would especially like to thank José, Carlos and Edwin who served us multiple times - they were so helpful and friendly, and really helped to make our experience memorable. The food was slightly expensive compared to local restaurants, but was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. We would recommend Arenal Manoa to anyone visiting the La Fortuna area and would love to visit again one day. Thank you Arenal Manoa!
