Arenal Manoa Resort & Hot Springs ★★★★

📍 la palma de la fortuna Hotel Arenal Manoa, Palma, La Fortuna

"Worst resort to deal with. We had made reservations and pre paid for stay at the resort from 12/26/23-12/29/23. Due to sudden death of my mother on 12/2623 we had to cut our vacation short and return to the US. Despite providing them the paperwork from the hospital where my mother was taken, they refused to reimburse the money prepaid for the stay. I Will NEVER stay at he resort again and given their lack of professionalism would never recommend them to anyone. Dealing with them was worst possible experience for me."

"A very beautifully situated lodge, we particularly liked the detached houses with a view over the plain of La Fortuna. Very nicely furnished and equipped. Taking tours from there was very interesting and exciting. And the nearby waterfall is absolutely worth a visit with a swim in the refreshing water."

"This place was a gem. Beautiful view, property and house. We enjoyed our stay. The only suggestion I would have is that the hiking trails were better marked."

The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal ★★★★★
"Very nice and beautiful hotel, built with high-quality materials and a great design. However, my biggest disappointment was that a 5-star hotel did not provide complimentary water in the room, instead selling it for $4.50 per bottle. This is especially surprising in Costa Rica, considering that the room costs over $1000 per night. It feels quite disappointing and even greedy that they are unwilling to meet basic international standards of service. In my opinion, the management should take inspiration from hotels in Asia and the Middle East, where guest service is often much more thoughtful and complete. I felt that instead of providing small essentials as part of the service, they were trying to charge extra for everything, which negatively affected the overall experience."
