I don't know how you can choose better!”

Arenal Manoa had it all! Beautifully manicured and spread out facilities (meaning I didn't see if we even had neighbors during our stay!). The pool area was more than enough and complete with a bar and pizza oven. The hot springs 'termals' were well done, and yes, a bar was there too. The restaurant was beautiful, plentiful variety and very well staffed. Our room was well apportioned with a fridge, coffee bar, big armoire for luggage/clothes, a couch, two tables, 2 chairs, 2 nightstands, a desk area, and a kingsize bed. With plenty of walking space. Large outside patio with 2 rocking chairs and a table. We sat there every morning and every evening for hours watching the birds and the volcano RIGHT THERE in front of us. Very nice bathroom amenities, a live plant next to the shower! And very very clean. All staff was wonderful, including COVID testing for the flight home. Again....I don't know how you can choose better!

Fantastic staff Beautiful grounds and lovely location. I would love to come back. At check out I accidentally left all of my money on the bed in my room. The housekeeping staff called the front desk to make sure I got it back before I left. I am forever grateful for their honesty. Thank you again! Dianne Cross ( stayed November 11th to 13th 2022)

Wonderful views, beautiful complex ”

We enjoyed our weekend stay in this wonderful place. Waking up to the views of the volcano, having a tasty traditional breakfast, not much of international choice though, like I could go with some fresh bread instead of the square toast bread, but that was not a big problem really as the choice was pretty big. They have cold and hot pools, which aren't next to each other, but we didn't mind, as we wanted to spend time in hot ones anyway. Staff friendly. I can't wait to visit this place again.

Vacay heaven ”

Wished we stayed longer! The front staff was amazing and helpful. Never had to wait more than 2 min for a ride through the facilities. Everyone was so nice and attentive. Great value and will be back!!

Fabulous option in La Fortuna”

The staff were extremely kind and attentive. The room was very clean, spacious and our terrace was very private and quiet. The amenities were wonderful, great pools and thermals. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, omelet bar, with a wide selection of fruits/vegetables and pastries. Overall, would highly recommend to anyone looking for a slightly more upscale stay in the area!

AMAZING VIEWS”

Amazing hotel with amazing views of the volcano. Can't wait to return!

Warm pools”

Staff was all very friendly and helpful. Both pools (one warm and one not) have great swim up bars and good snacks. Rooms were clean and the view of the volcano would have been awesome except....clouds. It cleared the day after we left. Still worth it.

Beautiful but not for me! ”

If you like the idea of traveling to Costa Rica to stay at a very fancy HUGE Florida gated subdivision then this place is for you. My suggestion, try an Eco Lodge

Beautiful Gardens”

This hotel is located a good distance from the little town, however, the grounds are absolutely beautiful, lots of flowers, birds and butterflies and a great view of the Volcano. Breakfast is great with lots of choices and local dishes included. If you want to experience hot springs, you have to go to specialized hot springs locations like Ecothermales and Tabacon. The hot springs at the hotel Arenal Manoa is only a warm pool, nothing to write home about. The food at the restaurant is okay and reasonably priced. You need to take a taxi to get into the town where there are lots of restaurants, supermarkets, souvenir shops etc.

Highly recommended”

My mom, sister and I stayed here for just a couple of days before heading to the caribbean coast. We liked it so much that we came back after the coastal visit and stayed 3 more days. The grounds are incredible, staff super friendly and efficient, the rooms clean and spacious, and the food and drinks delicious. And just in general the whole place has such a good feeling that I will likely be back again sometime in the future. No complaints at all!

Excellent stay”

The location is fantastic, with great views of the volcano from every bungalow. The food was also excellent, and the staff quite friendly. All in all, a great stay. We'll surely repeat if we are in the area again.

Amazing stay if you’re looking to relax!”

My fiancé and I loved ending our trip to Costa Rica here. It had hot springs and regular pool, both with swim up bars to eat and drink. Our room had a straight view of Arenal Volcano and was so breathtaking to wake up to every morning. The massages were also incredible and highly recommend. It was a private little cabana that overlooked the river where all you hear is the water flowing and sounds of nature. They don’t have much entertainment/nightlife but if you’re looking for pure relaxation, this is a place for you.

Wonderful staff. Stayed at five different hotels and Manoa was our favorite hotel in Costa Rica.

Amazing! Air conditioner and no bugs in room”

I recommend this resort 100%. I am a hotel snob so please feel very comfortable booking here. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. They will take care of whatever you need. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and exotic feeling looking out at tropical foliage with a huge volcano, as you lay in bed or sit at the table outside your sliding doors. It is about a 3 hour drive from the airport so I think next time I would drive to San Jose the night before my flight. Great drive though! Don't be afraid to do it and you do not need a 4×4. So don't pay more for one.

Great resort for families, beautiful campus that's a treat for birding enthusiasts. Lovely view of the volcano from the Superior rooms. Ensuite bathrooms are well appointed and spacious. Friendly staff always willing to help. Breakfast was good but food ordered from the a la carte menu (especially for vegetarian or vegan options) needs improvement by leaps and bounds.

Magique”

Telle l'impérial au Costa Rica cette Hôtel a su nous marquer avec ses sources d'eau chaudes exceptionnelles ... d'ailleurs il est possible de siroter ... une impérial dans ses sources puisqu' un bar est construit à proximité Bref le bonheur pour des alcooliques mondains comme nous.

Sehr zu empfehlen ”

Tolle Anlage. Sehr sauber. Alle sehr nett. Frühstück große Auswahl. Sehr lecker. Immer wieder gern.

Costa Rica Trip”

Zeer leuk verblijf, jammer was de Arenal de ganse tijd omgeven door wolken. Verder genoten van de hotsprings, coctails aan de bar. Zeer verzorgd ontbijt buffet

Один из самых лучших и новых отелей.”
