A decent resort and value for money. The breakfast restaurant is in a lovely setting although we thought the coffee and food didn’t taste particularly anything special

We stayed at Arenal Manoa for five days in one of the junior suites. It was a fantastic stay! The property is beautifully maintained and the vegetation is beautiful. We saw toucan, a pack of howler monkeys, lizards and countless birds. We would absolutely stay here again! The new hot spring pools were such a treat. Also, the staff is amazing. They go above and beyond for anything you need. I want to shout out Evelyn at the front desk specifically. I left my phone in an Uber and we were having difficulty communicating with the driver and she was able to hop on the phone and coordinate having him return it to the property. She is a life saver!

Luis, Esteban and Maria Jose, were always so kind, and helpful, also the rest off the staff. Arenal Manoa is a GEM, we stayed for 3 day at one of their Chato Suites, and it was just Amazing. The also went to the Spa, where we felt in heaven.

This resort is gorgeous. The room was breathtaking and very clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful. Food at the restaurant was delicious. The only thing I did not like was finding out there was an airport shuttle after paying US$180 for an uber plus overnight hotel near the airport. That could have been communicated. We plan to take our family back to it though. It is also located in the middle of all the adventure parks. Getting to it from San Jose is 3.5 hours which is of course tiring. But overall, a really lovely place.

Staying at Manoa Hot Springs Resort was an unforgettable experience! Nestled in the lush heart of Costa Rica, this resort offers a perfect blend of luxury and nature. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s warmth and hospitality made us feel like cherished guests. The accommodations were stunning—spacious, impeccably clean, and offering breathtaking views of the majestic Arenal Volcano. Waking up to the sight of this natural wonder surrounded by vibrant greenery was surreal. The hot springs were the highlight of our trip. Immersing ourselves in the warm, mineral-rich waters while listening to the sounds of the rainforest was pure bliss. Each pool had its own unique ambiance, making every soak a new adventure. The resort's dining options were equally exceptional. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented dishes showcased the best of Costa Rican cuisine. Breakfasts, especially, were a delight with tropical fruits and locally sourced ingredients. We also appreciated the variety of activities offered. From guided nature walks to relaxing spa treatments, there was something for everyone. The property is well-maintained, and the landscaping perfectly complements the natural surroundings. Manoa Hot Springs Resort is not just a place to stay—it's an experience. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a romantic escape, this resort delivers on every level. We can’t wait to return!

What a treat this place was. We stayed 6 nights. Beautiful grounds and the restaurant was delicious. Bent over backwards to make us happy. They gave us a complimentary dinner as it was my husband’s birthday. Everyday they made animals out of the towels. Only one problem - bed was a little hard. Definitely would come back.
