Arenal Manoa Hotel and Spa

Arenal

Good to Know

Nestled amidst tropical gardens with captivating Arenal Volcano views, Arenal Manoa Hotel and Spa offers a harmonious blend of adventure and tranquility in the La Fortuna region. Guests can choose from diverse accommodations, including suites with private hot tubs or plunge pools, all featuring essential comforts. The hotel provides ample opportunities for relaxation with garden trails, an outdoor swimming pool, on-site hot springs, and a serene spa. A restaurant serving local and international cuisine with scenic views completes the experience, making it an inviting choice for those seeking both exploration and unwinding.


Terrace time with Arenal in view

Tropical gardens frame the Arenal Volcano outlook at Arenal Manoa Hotel and Spa, setting the scene for days that can be both adventurous and restful. Start with time on your terrace, head out into the La Fortuna region, and return for a swim or a spa treatment. The hotel gives the hours between excursions their own appeal.

Choose how you want to settle in

Spacious accommodation and outdoor sitting spaces invite you to linger in the setting. The differences between categories are worth exploring: a Premium Suite with Hot Tub adds that private soaking option, the Chato Suite includes living space and a plunge pool, and the Villa combines two bedrooms with a kitchenette and pool amenities. Choose around the space and facilities you will actually enjoy.

The comfort of the rooms continues beyond the outdoor sitting space. Air conditioning, cable television and mini-fridges make it easy to settle in, and the en-suite bathrooms have showers and complimentary toiletries. Free Wi-Fi is available in the Junior Suite, Superior and Premium Suite with Hot Tub categories. Other accommodation has its own internet access and other features, so choose the room with the features that fit how you intend to use it.

Let an afternoon belong to the hotel

Away from the room, maintained garden trails invite a leisurely walk, with chances to notice native wildlife and birds. The outdoor swimming pool makes an appealing stop afterward, while the spa offers treatments for a quieter stretch of the day. Hot springs are also among the hotel's facilities, adding another way to slow the pace. Welcoming staff are available to help during your stay.

The restaurant serves local and international cuisine prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Volcano and countryside views make a meal part of the setting, giving you a reason to stay on site for more than a quick return between activities.

Explore, then come back to the gardens

The wider Arenal region brings ziplining, waterfall hikes and boat outings on Lake Arenal into your plans. You can choose an active day, or make the hotel itself the focus for an afternoon of swimming, walking and enjoying the outlook. Arenal Manoa is an inviting choice when you want scenic accommodation with several ways to unwind, and enough variety in the room options to shape the stay around your own travel style.

Why choose Arenal Manoa for your stay

  • Bring the volcano into your quieter hours: tropical gardens and Arenal views shape the La Fortuna-region setting, with terrace time providing a restful counterpart to outings.
  • Keep a hotel afternoon varied: garden trails, a swimming pool, on-site hot springs and spa treatments offer walking, swimming and relaxation without scheduling another excursion. Wildlife is something to watch for along the trails.
  • Enjoy a scenic meal: the restaurant serves local and international cuisine using fresh local ingredients, accompanied by volcano and countryside views.
  • Choose accommodation for meaningful differences: a Premium Suite with Hot Tub adds a private soaking feature, the Chato Suite includes living space and a plunge pool, and the two-bedroom Villa brings a kitchenette and pool amenities. Facilities and layouts vary by category.
  • Keep familiar comforts close: spacious accommodation pairs outdoor space with air conditioning, cable television, mini-fridges, showers and complimentary toiletries. Junior Suites, Superior rooms and Premium Suites with Hot Tub have free Wi-Fi; compare category details for the comforts you value.
  • Pair relaxation with the region's experiences: ziplining, waterfall hikes and boat outings on Lake Arenal can fill active days. Choose Manoa when you also want a hotel worth returning to for walks, a swim and the view.

comfortable and clean

Edward E.

Amazing place. Zero complaints.

Federico N.

We got an upgrade, and that may skew our overall perception. However, the place is quite literally heaven.

Guest review

The hotel has lots of wildlife in the gardens, the hot springs were very pleasant. Breakfast was okay, very busy.

Skylar S.

The only suggestion would be to have water/ice more available.

Shann S.

Pros: Gorgeous facility, grounds were magnificent. 7-8 small individually secluded hot springs. Staff was very attentive. Great venue for couples. Rooms were very private from each other. Cons: The rooms were unsatisfying, bad lighting, no drawers for clothes, had to keep everything in suit case, beds were hard. Nothing comfortable about the rooms. Conclusion: the facility and the rooms do not seem to go together.

Heather W.

The hotel was nice and clean but there was no privacy. Too much noise transfer through the bathrooms that are connected. Otherwise hotel and grounds were beautiful.

We loved this location! The breakfast was amazing and had numerous options for gluten-free dietary issues.

Elvin L.

very friendly and helpful staff

Kimberly M.

Seriously amazing service, food, accommodations, everything!

Erin R.

Absolutely beautiful hotel! Volcano view room was amazing. The hotel is overall more expensive but worth every penny. Only problem is the distance from town. Without renting a vehicle it made it difficult to get inbetween the two.

Kirby H.

The pool bar closed kind of early, but still the hotel was excellent.

Jason C.

Beautiful resort. Clean, comfortable and safe. Food and drink were expensive. Breakfast had a great selection but I didn't think the food quality was where it needed to be in a resort such as this.

Roselynn K.

We loved this resort and the view from our room #230 was spectacular of Mt. Arenal.

Kathleen W.

The room was very nice and the staff was fantastic.

Bill F.

Everything was wonderful! Would look forward to spending more time there!

Mike S.

Loved it- great location, very nice grounds. Only downfall was the lunches and supper not included so a bit pricey but overall very great hotel.

Lisa C.

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous view of Arenal volcano, breakfast array was amazing. Other meals we had at the restaurant were great as well!
