The views are amazing and the pool is a very nice place to relax. We brought our 8 year old twins and they loved the grounds and the free breakfast. The rooms are nice and big with large bathrooms. The only downside was that we could hear our neighbors through the shared bathroom wall, but it wasn't too disturbing. The... More

We had an excellent stay at Arenal Manoa and would not hesitate to stay there again. You could not find a better place to observe Arenal Volcano-sitting in a King bed and being able to see the peak-someone was thinking ahead when they built all of these units. We were in #224. More

This resort is beautifully manicured with trees and bright blooming flowers everywhere. We loved the complimentary huge buffet breakfast which includes local dishes as well as some foods we see here in Canada. The people were so friendly. The best part was the view from our villa . We could sit up in bed and look out the patio door... More

This lovely property sits on a hillside. Every unit faces the volcano. The landscape is great for walking and listening to the sounds of nature all around. The rooms are huge and very clean. We especially enjoyed the warm pool with swim up bar. Food was excellent. Great location too! More

A lovely hotel, with clear views of Arenal Volcano. We had a nice Casita that overlooked Arenal. Hoped to see the volcano spitting lava at night, but learned that it went dormant 14 months ago. (The guidebooks and hotels keep this quiet- probably bad for business). Bathroom was the best feature, with a walk in rain shower and plants. Room... More

Lovely hotel with great views but the rooms don't have enough insulation and you can hear your neighbors which isn't nice if you want to sleep late. Compared to the other hotels that we stayed in during our trip to Costa Rica, the service was not as good. More

Very clean, amazing setting beneath the volcano - great location close to fortuna, it has two pools - all the rooms seem to have a perfect view - it is gorgeous! My husband had a massage and loved it - very polite and friendly people. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the food - it was... More
