Review of Arenal Springs Resort and Spa

Reviewed August 21, 2019

We are a family of 5 and stayed in the master suite. The master suites are very roomy and comfortable with a great view of the volcano (if its not cloudy or rainy). We finally got to see the volcano on the last day and a half of our stay and it's impressive. Rained heavily while we were there, but staff will drive you around in golf cart. Grounds are pristine, hot springs were fantastic, food/service were the best.More

Date of stay: August 2019

Room tip: Master room for families of 4 or more are worth it

Excellent hotel, you couldn’t ask for more
Pool and installations are awesome, rooms are a little bit far but if you like to walk it’s always a joy to see nature all over. We have a great time over there. Food is good, not great but very good, but nothing overcomes the drinks in the natural volcano water pool while you see the volcano (if there’s no clouds of course jajaja). You would want to get out of there!

Hot hot springs!
Recently stayed here for 3 nights on our visit to Costa Rica. We had been staying at an eco lodge the previous few nights and so this was quite a change from that. It was very busy and coverage a large area, much bigger than we generally stay at. The room was clean and well presented and it was handy having the buggies to get to the restaurant at night if it was raining.

We ate in the Italian restaurant at nights which was excellent food.

Breakfasts were plentiful and spoilt us for choice.

Staff were very attentive and the facilities were all brilliant, especially the hot pools.

Gorgeous hotel
We had the most amazing time here, despite the rain! The pools are gloriously relaxing. The horseback riding is more exciting than you’ll expect. The food is great, especially when served IN the pool. Live music, great service, gorgeous volcano out your window. Enjoy.

Beautiful hotel, wonderful hot spring pools but staff hit or miss
We stayed here as part of an organised tour. We stayed two nights.

Room was clean and comfortable. Check in speedy and Golf buggy took us to our room from reception. Walk back from room to
Pools, breakfast area, six minutes.

Comfortable beds. Rooms adequate in size and comfort. Large bathroom. Rainforest Shower with open sides.

Good air conditioning.

Diverse hot spring pools, no cool water swimming pool. Bar in main hot spring. Sun loungers around the pools and grass areas.

Towels available for pools near the main hot spring pool. It rained and was cloudy while we were there but hot springs were still most enjoyable.

Evening meal in Italian restaurant very expensive.

Beautiful views of Arenal volcano from hotel.

Breakfast was good one morning. Poor the next. Also when I asked waitress for some more tea she was most annoyed and couldn’t have been ruder. She stood holding her hot water and made me bring my cup to her she was determined not to serve me. A shame as everyone else had been friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful resort and staff
Arenal Springs was ideal for our family of four and our friends who were able to stay in an adjoining room (the bungalow had two rooms that could connect through a shared door). The rooms, while not huge, were comfortable, air conditioned and well appointed and included nice patio areas with plenty of surrounding space. The property is lush and well maintained.

We loved returning to the resort after our morning adventures to enjoy the multiple pools and hot springs that were beautiful, spread out and rarely crowded. The restaurants, including the swim up bar, offer a good array of food options ranging from fresh sushi to Italian and more local fare. While the prices on site are not low, everything is very convenient and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our kids thought it was close to paradise, and we couldn’t argue.
