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.

The staff were very friendly and professional. They took care of us from check in, to make reservations at the restaurant, to order transportations. Breakfast buffet was great and included. The welcome desert plate and wine was such a surprise! We truely enjoyed our stay and would recommend to any friends who decide to visit La Fortuna!

One of the places that looks the same as in pics and even better. Nice and comfortable room, parking next to the room itself. Location was comfortable - quiet but only 10 minutes from la fortuna. The thermal pool is fun, especially at night. Breakfast is good but the rest is expensive.

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.

Excellent property. We saw so much wildlife just from within the property - Iguanas, sloths and so many varieties of birds. Room amenities could be better. In room furniture could be better - More hooks to hang clothes, more seating etc. Otherwise, a great resort to stay. Lots of hot spring pool options as well. We had complementary breakfast at la Saca each day. View from the dining area is amazing. Would definitely recommend.
