Gorgeous hotel! Friendly staff, impeccably kept grounds, very good food! Far enough back from the road hardly ever heard traffic. Loved the views of the volcano! Wish it was still spewing lava :-( Relatively close to town and lots of other attractions.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at this hotel at the beginning of May and it definitely exceeded our expectations. When we first arrived in our room we realized that we had an amazing view of the volcano from the giant window in our room. We could have spent countless hours staring out of our window because the view... More

We got such a great deal on our room that I figured that it couldn't be as nice as the photos looked--but it was! Our room was spacious, clean, private, and updated. Every room has a great view of the volcano. It was so nice to sit on the patio and listen to the birds and look at the view.... More

My husband and I spent 4 nights at this hotel at the end of April and it was simply beautiful! First of all, I will say this is not an ordinary hotel it is a heavenly retreat! The rooms are spaciously positioned apart from each other so you hardly ever see your neighbors unless you've decided to take a stroll... More

We stayed at the Arenal Manoa for 2 nights as part of a Caravan tour. This is a spectacular property, located almost at the foot of the Arenal Volcano. Every room has an amazing view of the mountain, and the lush greenery that surrounds it. The facilities are great, with beautiful pools, featuring swim up bars(!). Food is excellent, and... More

We loved the Arenal Manoa with its wonderful view of Arenal Volcano. Our room, 214, was large and comfortable and had a perfect view of the mountain from our secluded patio. Dozens of different birds flitted among the numerous plants just off our patio. They had two pools; one pool was geothermal heated and one was “cool”. Both were delightful.... More

The rooms were well laid out, huge and clean. There was air conditioning and TV as well as a mini fridge and tea/coffee maker. I loved that my room was close to the restaurant, pool and lobby. My other friends had quite a hike up to their rooms (I had 237). The bathroom was very open and muggy as the... More

OMG Volcano Views from basically everywhere on the property. There is a "hot springs" pool that is lovely -- no need to pay to go to Tabacon. The view from our villa -- 218 -- was so spectacular it was hard to leave the room to go exploring. Grounds are immaculate -- flowers and birds everywhere. Feels like Eden with... More

We stayed here for two nights and before that we stayed at Tabacon for two nights. I wish we had stayed at Arenal Manoa the whole time! I absolutely loved this place. There are small buildings on the hillside that have only two rooms side by side in them, so they are very private and quiet. Each room has picture... More
