Top Pensions in Cantón San Carlos in 2026

If you fly into San Jose, Costa Rica, and have time for a day trip, the Arenal Volcano and the attractions around it are worth the time. There is also a volcano near Turrialba that has been active lately, which is a little closer, but has none of the attractions. I have friends who live in the Turrialba area who have faced some uncertain days recently.

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were incredibly friendly. Right away they offered drinks while we checked in. We were able to use the pool and gym while we waited for our room to be ready. Very clean stay and open spaces. Breakfast had many options and changed depending on the day. Loved the variety of pools and jacuzzis for privacy or bigger groups. "
