This property is really amazing with the tropical plants and fauna and river everywhere and well maintained. We stayed here for three nights and the view of the Arenal volcano from the hotel at almost every angle was so wonderful. The staff are so friendly, cheerful, and helpful it made our stay feel so welcoming. In comparison to another four... More

We spent 3 nights in room 130, which is located on the front portion of the property. The room was fabulous, great views of the volcano from our patio/room. Spacious rooms with large, open showers. If I were to complain at all, it would be with the beds and the TV. The beds could be a bit better and updating... More

The Arenal Manoa was our first hotel while traveling through Costa Rica. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained. The view of the volcano is just as portrayed in the pictures and you can view it from most any room. The rooms were very spacious, but the bedding could use some updating. The bedspreads were slightly stained and the sheets... More

We stayed 4 nights in room #102 and had an absolutely fabulous time. We watched the birds every morning. 102 is close to the check in area and a hike to the pool and restaurant. It was great for bird watching.

We stayed for 3 nights, mum, dad and an 8 year old boy. We did a lot of activities and spent little time in the hotel other than late in the afternoon by the swimming pool. The hotel is made up of semi-detached bungalows set in well maintained gardens,spaced out over a very large area, and has a slight feel... More

I admit that my expectations might be a little much when I'm in a foreign country. Especially if you're not paying 4 Seasons prices. That's why I was so happy about the Manoa. It's a true resort with outdoor cabanas for massages, happy hour in the pool with swim-up bar, and close proximity to the adventure sports. The free breakfast... More
