The room was average. I liked the villa style, but the rooms were basic, and in the washrooms I could hear the people in the villa next to me the entire time when they were in the bathroom showering or using the toilet. No insulation as I could hear their conversations. There was lack of hot water, perhaps warm at best. The hot stone massage was amazing, but other than that I felt the staff to not be friendly. Often not being acknowledged most of the time. Buffet breakfast could use some changing rather than the same things everyday. Overall for the dollar value, wasn’t really pleased.

This is a nice calm property with limited spread out units so not too crowded. The breakfast was very nice with a lot of vegan and vegetarian options. The service was quick and they would send anything and everything very quickly 24*7. We also saw a lot of birds like tucans in the trees surroundimg the property. The pools were nice but just warm Like luke warm only which was disappointing as it was supposed to be the thing we were here for mostly. There was nothing like one pool which would have like a 32 deg centi plus water. Also there was a water leak at night in the water feeding the flush in our washroom and it flooded the whole room at night. Things happen but it is the design of the washroom which had no outlet for the leeking water and it just flooded the room which is the main concern. Lastly they did however respond quickly and fixed and cleaned everything at night (1am) itself which was very good service. They did send a fruit basket and an apology letter too the next day. I hope they fix the design flaw.

Arenal Manoe was an excellent experience. Its location is central to all the main attractions in La Fortuna but away from the busy town. The surrounding trees and volcano views are stunning, they were as beautifull at night when everything is beautifully lit. The food was exceptional, the service friendly, and the pool area clean and relaxing with great drinks. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone visiting La Fortuna.

My family of 4 had such a nice stay at the Arenal Manoa Resort. The grounds are absolutely stunning! The gardens are breathtaking and we enjoyed a lovely view of the volcano from our room. The room was spacious and clean and we received the nicest gift before our departure. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, especially Kevin who took the time to point out the sloths on the property and made sure we got good pictures of them. It was a little chilly during our stay but we still enjoyed the warm pools and hot spring pools. The breakfast buffet was impressive and delicious! A huge thank you to the staff for keeping the coffee flowing and for making our stay at Arenal Manoa so enjoyable! Would highly recommend staying at this resort.

The room was spotless. We came during Christmas just to lay in the hot springs. The whole property was lit up and very festive. The welcoming treat and personal touches in our room were the icing on the cake. The breakfast was full of choices. The resort is located close to La Fortuna town and many great excursions. We will definitely return here again.
