Arenal Manoa Resort & Hot Springs: Luxury In La Fortuna

best things to do in Costa Rica

Arenal Manoa Resort  & Hot Springs (La Fortuna, Costa Rica)

One of the best hotels that we have ever stayed in is Hotel Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs. The rooms are located in individual lodges and each have an incredible view of the Arenal Volcano. It was a perfect balance of luxury and nature. This was our view every morning when we woke up! 

The landscaping and grounds of the hotel were beautiful. There is a pool, hot spring, trails, restaurant and even a farm located on the hotel grounds. We ate every night at the restaurant, which also has an incredible view of the volcano, and loved each meal! For lunch, we tried their oven-baked pizza that they serve at the pool!

It was a pretty cool feeling getting to choose between the pool or natural hot springs while we sat and waited for the clouds to clear from the peak of the volcano! And after a day of rappelling and white water rafting, we got a couples massage at the hotel’s wellness spa. It was incredibly relaxing hearing the birds chirping and feeling the cool, jungle breeze during our massage!

We were extremely happy to partner with Hotel Arenal Manoa and can’t say enough great things about our stay. The resort is perfect for family vacations, celebrating anniversaries, birdwatching, or just looking for a little bit of adventure. The hotel also does an incredible job of coordinating day trips and activities for their guests. We told the staff what we liked and they planned our experiences! During our four day stay we went white water rafting, waterfall rappelling, walking on hanging bridges, soaking in natural hot springs, and horseback riding to a waterfall! It was one of the most fun four days of our vacation! 

We loved our stay and experience at Hotel Arenal Manoa and can’t recommend it enough!
