Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort
This place was an absolute gem just outside of La Fortuna. The grounds were bigger and more beautiful than we expected based on the photos. The staff were attentive and so lovely to chat with (thank you so much Jose and Fernanda for making our stay so special). The eight thermal pools were lovely ...

beautifully situated in Santa Elena. Entrance is in a busy area but the property is tucked into a dreamy rainforest with trails and beautiful outdoor features. Simple, elegant, meticulously maintained. Everyone was so gracious and welcoming! We LOVED our stay!

Cabinas Selva Verde
Perfect place in Monteverde. Rooms are large, beds are comfortable and clean, parking is right in front and it’s a 3 minute walk to most restaurants and stores. Staff were very friendly and easy going. Very minor thing but you can sometimes hear road noise - but all solved with some ear plugs!

Santa Elena Hotel & Travel Guide\n
Room alternatives are waiting to be discovered in Santa Elena. Spend some time looking through the 57 hotel alternatives on Travelocity, all of which can be found within a 6-mile (10-kilometer) radius of the city center.
Santa Elena is at your fingertips from a selection of convenient lodgings, like the El Establo Mountain Hotel and Trapp Family Lodge.
The The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal is around 17 miles (27 kilometers) from the main part of Santa Elena. If you would prefer another option, the Nayara Hotel Spa & Gardens is positioned 16 miles (25 kilometers) away. Two more options in the Santa Elena area are the Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa and the Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort.
Hoping to go a little further afield? Northern Plains offers lots of attractions. Northern Plains is well known for forests, lakes and active volcanos, and other popular places of interest are traditional villages and craft workshops. In this corner of Costa Rica travelers might also enjoy hiking, shore fishing and bird watching.
Looking for more activities? Consider spending some time visiting Baldi Hot Springs and La Fortuna Waterfall, which you'll find in Fortuna, 15 miles (25 kilometers) to the northeast of Santa Elena.

The Aguas Zarcas Church and Aquas Zarcas Square are a couple of the most popular attractions to explore while in Aguas Zarcas.
If you are always thinking about sport and like to watch thrilling clashes you might choose to head to Saprissa Stadium, which is found 55 miles (89 kilometers) to the southeast of Santa Elena. Find a Travelocity-listed hotel right near the sporting action at the Hotel Grano de Oro or the Crowne Plaza San Jose Corobici.
For travelers planning on arriving or departing through Juan Santamaria International Airport, you might choose to book Travelocity-listed rooms at Hampton Inn and Suites San Jose Airport, or Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport, which are both a short taxi ride away.
