"The views, cleanliness, tasty food, nice staff, and location; tucked in nature, were just amazing . Such a relaxing and amazing experience."

"The hotel is very basic. The rooms are “tired”, in need renovation. The lighting both in the room itself and bathroom is very poor. Other than the pool area, the hotel does not have nice/ comfortable seating or hang out areas. The breakfast was also basic and the food quality can certainly be improved. The reception shuts down completely at 10 so if you have an issue after that time, you are out of luck. The rules about room keys are prohibitive - you only get 2 keys (even if you are 4 people in the room), m and if you lose one you have to pay $20!! The pool area has some thermal water pools but it is generally poorly lit at night after 6, so you cannot really use most of them. We did not enjoy the experience and vibe at this hotel. "

"Loved the walking trail and landscaping. The whole property was very pleasant to walk around. We saw many beautiful birds. Enjoyed the pool, hot tub and outdoor bar. There is an excellent soda, and a convenience store a short distance away."

"Hot springs are amazing. Grounds are beautiful allow at least an hour to walk around. Hotel charged us for someone else’s drink but they fixed it. Highly recommend "

"Clean rooms, great staff"

"The scenic view of the volcano from our room was fantastic and relaxing at the same time. The thermal spring pools were also amazing. "

"The room next to us make noise all the night for more than 4 hour all the noise and people shouting was lot in our room "

"We stayed at Arenal Manoa Resort & Hot Springs in a Chato Suite and overall had a wonderful experience. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery with views of Arenal volcano (when the clouds clear). The resort feels peaceful and spacious, which adds to its relaxed atmosphere, and it’s only a 5-minute Uber ride into town, which was inexpensive, safe, and reliable. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a private pool and terrace waking up to that view was a real highlight. The hotel’s hot springs were another standout: well maintained and perfect for relaxing after a day out. We spent plenty of time there enjoying drinks and the sushi, which was particularly good. The staff were excellent throughout friendly, professional, and very helpful making us feel genuinely welcome. The food overall was good; breakfast in the room was nice, though not as hot by the time it arrived. In the main restaurant, the egg station could improve by providing separate equipment for vegetarian cooking. Also, the toasters didn’t work well and heated bread very slowly small issues that could be easily fixed. The resort is quite spread out, so expect some walking (or use the shuttle), and Wi-Fi can be inconsistent, but neither detracted much from the stay. Overall, we loved our time here and would recommend it. It’s a great mix of comfort, nature, and relaxation exactly what you’d want from Costa Rica. Tip: the Chato Suite is well worth it. "

"Highly recommend – a truly wonderful experience! This property is very well maintained, with super comfy beds that made for great sleep every night. It was an amazing experience overall! The staff were great and super helpful—always ready to assist with a smile. I especially loved the facilities; everything was top-notch and added so much to the stay. Will definitely be back!"
