We stayed at Arenal Manoa Hotel when we visited Costa Rica in November, 2011. The hotel is situated on beautiful grounds with the view on Arenal volcano. The cabins are very nicely done with a spacious room and a beautifully done bathroom. Really nice breakfast at the in grounds restaurant The swimming pool is fed by a hot spring and... 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

We had an excellent stay at Arenal Manoa and would not hesitate to stay there again. You could not find a better place to observe Arenal Volcano-sitting in a King bed and being able to see the peak-someone was thinking ahead when they built all of these units. We were in #224. More

This resort is beautifully manicured with trees and bright blooming flowers everywhere. We loved the complimentary huge buffet breakfast which includes local dishes as well as some foods we see here in Canada. The people were so friendly. The best part was the view from our villa . We could sit up in bed and look out the patio door... More

This lovely property sits on a hillside. Every unit faces the volcano. The landscape is great for walking and listening to the sounds of nature all around. The rooms are huge and very clean. We especially enjoyed the warm pool with swim up bar. Food was excellent. Great location too! More

A lovely hotel, with clear views of Arenal Volcano. We had a nice Casita that overlooked Arenal. Hoped to see the volcano spitting lava at night, but learned that it went dormant 14 months ago. (The guidebooks and hotels keep this quiet- probably bad for business). Bathroom was the best feature, with a walk in rain shower and plants. Room... More
