Arenal Springs Resort and Spa

Arenal

Good to Know

Arenal Springs Resort and Spa offers a luxurious retreat in Arenal, featuring private thermal pools, lush tropical gardens, and captivating volcano views. Guests enjoy bungalow-style accommodations, diverse dining options including Costa Rican, Italian, and Japanese cuisine, and a range of on-site amenities like a spa, yoga deck, and multiple pools. Its prime location provides easy access to adventure activities around La Fortuna, ensuring a balanced stay of relaxation and exploration.


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. The mini-bar is stocked with complimentary beverages for two people (once per visit). Each Junior Suite boasts a spacious terrace with a seating area and enchanting views of Arenal Volcano. When an additional single bed is required, it is provided as a roll-away bed.

The luxurious Master Suites are equipped with air conditioning, a Jacuzzi filled with natural hot springs water, an indoor shower, two TVs, an all-inclusive mini-bar in one of the rooms, a terrace with a volcano view, hammocks, two bathrooms, room phones, bath phones, alarm clocks, sofa beds, closets, safety boxes, hot water, fans, coffee makers, and hairdryers.

The resort also offers rooms with handicap access and adjoining rooms for families who wish to stay together. Please request these rooms at the time of reservation, and the resort will make every effort to accommodate your request.

Hot springs, suites and the terms to compare

  • Thermal streams and pools among palms, ferns and flowering gardens make hot-springs time part of the stay, with a separate cool-water pool and children’s pool.
  • A cold-water stream, tilapia ponds and small bridges turn a stroll into part of the holiday; complimentary yoga runs several mornings a week, rather than every morning.
  • Ti-Cain, Italian Corner and Sakana give you Costa Rican, international, Italian and Japanese dining choices, including brick-oven pizza and sushi.
  • Breakfast is included. Lunch and dinner are not included unless specified in the room description; included meals use a special menu that may exclude regular-menu dishes.
  • Pacific Trade Winds clients receive a 15% discount at Arenal Springs Spa, adding a specific benefit to a treatment during your stay.
  • Junior Suite minibar beverages are complimentary for two people once per visit; Master Suites add a hot-springs-water Jacuzzi, two bathrooms and an all-inclusive minibar in one room. An extra single bed is a rollaway, and Master Suite hammocks bring more outdoor time to the volcano-view terrace.
  • Accessible and adjoining rooms must be requested when reserving; the resort will make every effort to accommodate the request, rather than guaranteeing it.
  • WiFi is available in select public areas; a souvenir shop and conference room add practical facilities, while birdwatching and the spa offer gentler hours on site.
  • A notice covers select-suite upgrades and Secreto’s temporary closure from August 20 to November 20, with Secreto menu items at Ti Cáin; confirm the arrangements for your dates.
  • Rafting, canyoning, Sky Trek and Tram, horseback rides to waterfalls, ATV outings, Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge and hanging bridges give the regional days different speeds before a return to the hot springs.

COULD HAVE STAYED THERE FOREVER!!!!

Pamela E.

This was a lovely hotel and the staff was very kind and friendly.

Kristen M.

The resort was fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and fun to have around. The grounds were beautifully landscaped all framing a stunning view of the volcano. Appreciated the variety of food choices and how accommodating they were to my vegan diet. When we come back to CR we all agree we will come back to Arenal Springs.

Briana C.

We loved this resort! The entire staff was beyond friendly. The breakfast was good and there were different options each day. We stayed in a suite with a king room and a connecting double bed room. Each room had it owns balcony and entrance. This was a perfect set up for our family. The grounds are beautiful. It is a short taxi ride to the city of La Fortuna.

Joan C.

Amazing hotel, hot springs were the best part, will definitely be back

Erica D.

My only negative was that the attached room had a family with kids and you could hear everything. We weren’t in the room much, but there seems to be no noise barrier between the rooms.

Sookie M.

The hotel's location was perfect with the awesome view of the Arenal Volcano and lush surroundings. Also the two rooms were connected so it was very convenient for our family. The thermal pool was great and all of us loved staying at this hotel and hated to leave the hotel. Thank you for selecting this hotel for us and we highly recommend this hotel.

Ashna C.

excellent hotel; by far my favourite; and excellent staff and excellent restaurants and excellent service

Emmanuel O.

This hotel was amazing. The room itself was fantastic and the view of the volcano and the landscape was great. we loved the hot spring and the workers that were there were SO polite and helpful. We loved the room service, bartenders, and servers at the restaraunts. The food particularly the steak could've been better and it felt pre cooked and warmed up many times, but overall we had a great relaxing time.

Lisa J.

We had a wonderful wonderful time! :)

Elisabeth R.

Very nice hotel and hot springs, but we may have enjoyed staying closer to town more... esp for more food options within a closer range.

Anita C.

Loved it here, smaller room, but fully functional with a cute little patio looking directly at the volcano. The Spa is fabulous with great food. The hot springs were a real treat and a first time for us anywhere! The constant view of the volcano was breathtaking. Being able to lounge in pools of water fed by the volcano varying from 104 degrees to 80+/- degrees was most relaxing and the swim up bar was a bonus. Didn't try the sushi at the bar but had a wonderful lunch while sitting in the warm water. Staff could not be more attentive and helpful! Even had our Covid test administered by the local Doctor who traveled right to our door. Would have loved to stay a few more days. Oh, and the giftshop is awesome....one of the best!

Rachel P.

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. They all spoke English very well. The room was very nice and clean! The food at the hotel was exceptionally good - way better than I expected!

Denise G.

Loved this hotel! All staff were courteous and helpful. Rooms and all public areas were very clean.

Guest review

Our first night there we ordered dinner and the waitress only brought the gyozo appetizers and forgot to write down our dinner order. We sat there for 75 minutes before we asked for the rest of the meal. We told the manager and nothing happened. When we checked out we insisted that we only pay for 1/2 of the appetizers. It was a bad start to Arenal Resort. However…. The hot tubs were fun, the waiters at the pool bar were extremely accommodating and the rest of the experience was fine.

Tyson S.

The hotel staff was amazing. They went out of their way to find my son and I to tell us about some wildlife that was outside the gate. I will be returning here next year.

Karen S.

Great hotel, beautiful grounds and great food!

Rakesh B.

Very Jolly and happy hsopitality staff. Singing and dancing

Beth B.

Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Sheila E.

The hotel was beautiful. Unfortunately the weather prohibited any clear views of the Arenal volcano, but the hotel grounds and hot springs more than made up for it. The service at the hotel was excellent. The breakfast offered something for everyone and provided a good start to our busy days of walking and hiking. Our hotel suite was roomy and we particularly loved the "outdoor" feel to the shower!

Mitu S.

Beautiful hotel, excellent breakfast, lovely hot springs, friendly staff, it was all just amazing! I wish we could have spent a few more days enjoying the hotel as it was so nice. We had a wonderful location as well being near the restaurants and pools. We also enjoyed the sushi by the pool, it was excellent!

Megan S.

Amazing hotel! We loved everything about it.
