Lots of nice things about this hotel, some not so nice. First, if it's a clear day, you'll get a great view of the volcano -- see the picture, which was taken from our hotel room. Each room is in a 2-room bungalow, so there are few neighbors to make noise -- but the walls between the two rooms are... More

After a great stay in the (hot and humid) Manuel Antonio area, we eventually (after a tiring 6.5 hour shuttle ride) arrived at the Manoa to spend a few nights in the cooler Arenal area. The hotel grounds are stunning – it’s laid out like a small village with single-storey lodges dotted around some small roads, and surrounded by exotic... More

Great place to view the volcano....lovely rooms....very private. Lots of beautiful birds. Has great pool an spa. If you go stay in the rooms numbered 200. Breakfast good, buffet was awful! Go into town as there are many great restaurants there.

I had a short stay for myself on a business meeting. I did not get to try the spa. In general, the Fortuna area in Costa Rica has a lot more to offer than this hotel. There are much better hotels for a better price. The place is very peaceful. Big rooms, with a nice bathroom. The beds are not... More

We stayed four nights at this hotel & it was great. The staff are very friendly and will all say "hola" as you pass. We had a beautiful room with great picture window and a view of the Volcano (mostly in cloud). The children were particularly amused by the flowerbed in the large bathroom. Facilities in the room are quite... More

Wonderful hotel in lush tropical settings. Very clean. Nice restaurant on site. Enjoyed the hot (geothermal) pool. Actually, the "hotel" is a bunch of duplexes in a tropical garden. Clean, comfortable and basic. Would recommend to any sane person without any hesitation:) If you go there, consider visiting Tabacon, just check an admission price and the price of their buffet-style... More

This was absolutely our favorite place in Costa Rica I believe. The grounds are stunning, the views are to die for, the breakfast is AMAZING, the staff is great it really has it all. The rooms are lovely too, but it's the amazing views of the volcanoes that do it. You are also really close to a huge amount of... More

My family of four enjoyed our stay at Arenal Manoa Hotel. My wife enjoyed the spa and my kids had fun in the pool. There are activities nearby, like a waterfall, horseback riding, rafting, and canopy bridge tours. The room had two queen beds, but not much else. The bathroom had a big bush in between the shower and the... More

Our family just returned from a visit to the Arenal area and specifically from a wonderful stay at the Arenal Manoa Hotel and Spa. The grounds are so very beautiful, and well maintained. The rooms are clean comfortable, very nicely appointed and provide a view that is totally unbelievable. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the on sight restaurant... More
