Arenal Manoa totally exceeded our expectations! The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The property is huge, with lots of great food options and around 8 or 9 different hot springs to relax in. Everything was really well kept, and the gardens were full of beautiful, tropical plants; it felt like being in a jungle paradise.
My husband, my 22year old son and I stayed in a junior suite, which was really spacious, with two super comfy queen beds, an amazing view of the volcano (even though it was a bit cloudy most of the time), and a porch with two rocking chairs. We even caught a few glimpses of hummingbirds sipping from the flowers right outside our door.
We’re vegetarian, and their restaurants had plenty of good options for us. One of the highlights was spotting a few toucans while we were eating at the main restaurant!
Overall, it was a great stay. I’d love to visit again. Thank you, Arenal Manoa!
