Beautifully positioned under Arenal Volcano (alas pretty quiet despite what the guidebooks say), in a campus style. Can easily walk around the campus but transport is provided for those who need or want it. Excellent rooms, especially those numbering from 200 as they seem larger than those numbering 100 - and the 200s all face the volcano. Rooms are spaciously... More

The view from our room was the best part. We had 2 large glass doors which gave us an unobstructed view of the volcano. We never had issues with noise since we had no neighbors. Outside were 2 rocking chairs where we were able to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful grounds and the great view. Our bathroom had a... More

Beautiful grounds, great restaurant, very helpful desk staff. Seems this place is private villas for each resident. its spread out, so try to get a room near your interests if you have any mobility problems - pool, resto, spa, lobby.. All rooms very well maintained and appointed. Great views. only negative is that the roof seems really noisy when its... More

My husband Kyle and I spent two nights at the Arenal Manoa while visiting the Arenal/La Fortuna area and were surprised by how beautiful the grounds were as soon as we arrived. We requested a room with a view of the volcano in advance and weren't disappointed. Our bungalow was clean and we loved that the walls were basically giant... More

My wife and I stayed there for 3 nights Jan. 26-28, Room 210. The hotel is about .25 mi. off the main road, so it is very quite and peacefull. The landscaping is great and so was the staff. Large rooms and bathrooms. The pool was nice with a large hot tub and bar service. Happy hour from 5-6 with... More

If you like highly manicured manufactured hotels this is probably for you. Grounds are certainly very colourful with not a twig out of place - even the birds build their nests neatly! Rooms look ok but lighting is dreadful, no comfortable seating and you can hear your neighbours' every word and more through the walls. Without a car you can... More

This hotel has beautiful rooms and views. The breakfast has a lot of variety. I would come back if I go to Costa Rica again. More

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
