Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This h The hotel was absolutely beautiful! We had a wonderful breakfast right in front of the volcano. There were sloths and other animals around the hotel, making it a truly great place to stay. We didn’t visit the hot springs, but there are many nearby, and there’s also a pool. It’s not too far from the main areas with lots of restaurants, and Uber is super easy to use. The people were incredibly nice. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!"
