Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We traveled to CR in late May, 2026, with our two boys (age 14/11). The property is lovely - clear views of the volcano (aside from the mist covering). Lots of birds to spot, & the grounds are well maintained. We stayed in their smallest room - two queen beds. The room was nice but basic. There is a small fridge/coffee pot/kettle & they supply coffee/tea. There is a hair dryer as well. The room is very humid, even with AC, but that is not the fault of the hotel. You may find it tricky to dry any wet clothes :). The shower lacks both pressure & a lot of heat, but both are common in this region. The pool is nice & was a comfortable temperature. We enjoyed their happy hour from 4-6, & that included some free mocktails for our kids! The hot springs were really beautiful - likely given the time of year, but they were quiet & it was easy to find some privacy. We did eat in the main restaurant on our first night - the food was delicious, but a bit pricey for what it was (not uncommon in CR). The next night we did pizza at the pool - the pizza was delicious and much more reasonably priced. We were going to eat off property our last night to save a bit of money, but for some reason the front desk called us and let us know that we were entitled to a free meal - what a lovely treat! We still don't know why, but it was such a lovely gesture. I would highly recommend this property, especially those traveling with kids."
