"If you were only staying for one or two nights in Chachagua, then this motel might suit you fine, please be highly aware of their nonrefundable policy. I made the mistake of booking this hotel for two weeks so that I had a homebase for my entire stay in Costa Rica. When I realize that I was not very happy staying there, I was unable to cancel or get refunded for my unused nights."

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

8/10 Good
"The main pool was lively and perfect for a dip or for the kids to play. The hot springs were phenomenal. We went several times a day and it was never too crowded but there was always someone to chat with. Staff was super friendly and generally helpful. We weren’t crazy about the breakfast buffet - but it’s hard to maintain freshness in climates like this and really it’s a matter of taste. The room was great, my daughter loved the plants in the bathroom! My only issue there was no long hanging area for dresses and hardly any space to put clothing (three small drawers). The property was absolutely beautiful and there was always some sort of wildlife to see. We would definitely go back."
