This place and our room has good views of the volcano. The hot springs were a nice touch to relax at the end of the day. The breakfast was fantastic, though the dining we ordered for room service was bad. The whole property feels so relaxing with nice plush landscaping of thr native rainforest flora.

Arenal Manoa gave me the best breakfast experience I’ve ever had; the buffet is complete, offering everything from traditional options to local dishes, and I genuinely looked forward to the mornings just to enjoy it again. The hot springs are relaxing and warm—comfortable without feeling too hot. The only thing I would improve is the shower pressure, especially with hot water, which felt a bit weak in our room. Overall, it’s an excellent stay with great food and a calm, enjoyable atmosphere.
