This property was perfect for our family. We wanted hot springs at the resort without a ton of people coming in from outside. Only hotel guests used the resort. The kids loved eating at the sushi restaurant while in a hot spring. It was also super safe. Kids could roam without worry. It was super quiet at night and we slept well. Loved it.

10 Hot Spring Pools

Great 10 Hot Spring pools! View from room was spectacular; but the walls between rooms was paper thin and if our bathroom door wasn't closed, we could hear our neighbors. This was also true with the shower...could not take a shower when our neighbors were due to lack of hot water. Good restaurant, excellent breakfast and VERY pleasant dining room. Plenty of fresh drinking water available. Nice walking around resort. Beautiful spa overlooking the river. Birds, flowering plants and iguanas abundant. Hope the hotel reception can replace their area rug soon...dirty and falling apart. Sushi bar and pool were outstanding for a smaller meal. Happy hours 4-5 and 5-6! Yes, highly recommend the resort. Don't be surprised by the gravel road that takes you there...

We loved having Manoa Arenal be our home base for our 3 days in La Fortuna! The grounds were beautiful, staff lovely, hot springs relaxing and quiet. We will absolutely stay there again when we go back to the area. Conveniently located to all the excursions we did.

Beautiful property, very helpful staff, the food was delicious and everything was very clean. We had a room with a private pool (not heated) which was great to have such a large private patio space when we wanted downtime. Our 2 kids loved the warm pools and the housekeepers leaving them little treats in the afternoon. The hotel doesn’t cater to families or young kids but it was still an excellent place if you do have kids. It was a short walk to everything we needed while we were on the resort but we had a car rental as we were exploring the area daily that we parked right outside our Chato. There isn’t a gym available, but the resort is lovely for a run. It was so easy to communicate with the staff in WhatsApp I ask questions and order room service. We ordered room service a couple nights, which was delicious. Our favourite was the poke bowl. The breakfast buffet was perfect every morning before we started our day. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Amazing Stay with Great Hospitality and Great View

Our stay at Arenal Manoa was wonderful! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home. Everything was kept very clean and well-maintained, adding to the comfort of our stay. Breakfast was delicious, with something new to enjoy each morning. We also had dinner at the restaurant, and the food was just as great. A special thank you to Norma, the housekeeper, who went above and beyond to make our daughter feel special with her creative touch. Our daughter loved it so much and was really sad to leave it behind. Overall, Arenal Manoa was a fantastic place to stay, and we highly recommend it. We hope to come back again!

Serene property, with beautiful grounds. Simple but nice room, with all necessary amenities, huge bathroom, patio surrounded by colorful plants, with a view of Arenal volcano towering above the palms. Wonderful ambience in the open air restaurant, where the included breakfast buffet was served each morning. Buffet had so many choices, all fresh and tasty. Coffee replenished readily by the attentive staff. Stars of the property were definitely the hot spring ponds and the spa. The massage platform, perched over the swift river below, was amazing, and the massage itself very good, as well. Staff friendly and efficient. We'd be happy to return here.

Propert is lush green with views of the volcano from the rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and service is excellent. The breakfast buffet is great and has lots of options for Vegetarians and Vegans. Each room is private and none in front or back that can see inside Only issue that we had was the internet was spotty- they sent some one to fix it but was still spotty- otherwise no issues with the rest of the place

I really enjoyed my stay at Arenal Manoa. The view of the volcano was incredible (even though it rained most days). The staff was super friendly, helpful, and professional. The hot springs? Phenomenal. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and exactly what I needed to start my day. As a solo traveler, I never felt unsafe, and I didn’t have to worry about walking back to my room after a long day because on-site transportation was always available. My only gripe is that their airport transportation options were pricier than an Uber, which didn’t feel very reasonable. All in all, it was a great experience!
