Arenal Springs Resort and Spa

Hot-springs afternoons beneath Arenal

Come back from a day around La Fortuna and follow the garden paths toward the hot springs. Arenal Springs Resort and Spa brings private thermal pools, tropical greenery and views of the volcano into the rhythm of a stay. This four-star resort’s bungalow-style accommodation gives you outdoor space to pause, while the water and dining venues make an afternoon on site worth keeping free.

Warm water, cool water and garden paths

At the front of the property, thermal streams and pools lie among palms, ferns and flowering plants. A separate cool-water swimming pool and a children’s pool create different ways to enjoy the water, with lounge chairs and a sun deck for the hours afterward. A Jacuzzi and spa continue that slower side of an Arenal vacation, and the swim-up Sakana Sushi Bar and Restaurant brings dining into pool time.

A cold-water stream winds toward tilapia ponds, crossed by small bridges along the paths. Follow them to the open-air yoga deck, where complimentary morning classes take place several days a week. Guests have recorded 138 bird species in the gardens, giving birdwatchers another reason to explore attentively. WiFi is available in select public areas; a souvenir shop and conference room add other useful facilities.

An evening with choices

Ti-Cain serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with Costa Rican and international dishes, fresh Costa Rican coffee in the morning and a wine selection in the evening. Italian Corner adds brick-oven pizza, pasta, cold-cut platters and fresh salads with Chilean and Argentinian wines. At the wet bar, Sakana Sushi Bar and Restaurant serves sushi, Japanese salads and pasta dishes. Choose the meal that suits the evening, then take time to enjoy it.

Beyond the resort, the Arenal Volcano region offers rafting, canyoning and canopy ziplines, including Sky Trek and Tram. Horseback rides to waterfalls and ATV outings bring a faster pace, while Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge, hanging bridges and jungle hikes at the volcano’s base suit landscape and wildlife interests. Give the days different speeds, knowing the gardens and warm water await your return.

Choose the suite around your stay

The Junior Suites feature one king-size bed or two queen beds, air-conditioning, a flat-screen cable TV, a ceiling fan, a coffee maker, a mini-bar, a telephone, an in-room safe, and a hairdryer.

When an additional single bed is required, it is provided as a roll-away bed.
