Beautiful view of volcano. Enjoyed the birds and reptiles and mammals. Great pool bar and incredible breakfast. Did have a cracked windshield in the morning on our rental car. Otherwise lovely visit with family

Beautiful resort and perfect for our stay in the Arenal area. We had two adjacent habitaciones with incredible views of the volcano. The pool and hot springs were amazing and the food and service was impeccable. We enjoyed the included breakfast daily, the wood oven pizza, and had one dinner in the restaurant that was delicious. The staff was so attentive and all the extra little details made us feel special. It is a great location for exploring the area (we rented a car) and we were always happy to return to the resort at the end of the day. For reference, we traveled with our family of six with “kids” ages 20, 17, 12, and 10. We would love to return!

Excellent staff and service. Everyone is so helpful and go out of the way to make your stay the best. View of Arenal Volcano is outstanding throughout the property. You are surrounded by well manicured and wild forest so it's like staying in luxury with nature all around. We stayed in a superior junior suite and literally woke up to to a clear view of the volcano. Hot springs was ok. We didn't spend much time there so it wasn't a big deal for us. If you are booking a resort for the hot springs then this is not it.

The staff and service were exceptional - so welcoming and friendly. Our family celebrated a birthday during our stay and the Arenal Manoa staff went above and beyond to make it a special day. We so appreciated their thoughtful touches and very attentive customer service. We'll certainly recommend it wholeheartedly to friends and family headed to that area.

We had a great time, loved the buffet for breakfast. The pools were beautiful. I booked a family room for 4 but didn't realize I had only registered myself and my husband so when I arrived they charged me extra for my children. Seems a little bit odd to sell a room that sleeps 4 and charge extra for the kids so that was a little bit of a bad start.

My family and I loved the drinks, hot springs, very hopeful when booking excursions and the room with spectacular view.

Lovely setting next to the river but our room had poor soundproofing (could hear neighbours using the washroom), thermal pools were not overly clean and the “mandatory” New Year’s dinner was grossly overpriced for what we received. Would not recommend for couples as the resort is far more family friendly than anticipated (children in all pools, even adults only and at the swim-up bar). Overall an average experience and I would not book this resort again.

Good family place. Not 5 star but a pretty property. Comfortable rooms - laid out like a neighborhood of homes.

The staff are super good. When I missed the breakfast, they made me the food/juice/coffee. I even didn’t asked for it, so sweet. I’ll take my family here for another vacation in future.
