Arenal Springs Resort and Spa

Arenal

Good to Know

Arenal Springs Resort and Spa offers a luxurious four-star retreat in Arenal, featuring private thermal pools, lush tropical gardens, and captivating views of the volcano. Guests can unwind in bungalow-style accommodations, enjoy diverse dining options, and partake in complimentary morning yoga classes. The resort provides a serene base for exploring the region's adventures, from rafting to ziplining, ensuring a balanced Costa Rican escape. With a focus on relaxation and natural beauty, it promises an unforgettable stay.


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.

  • 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.

Olga G.

Wow!!! What a place! I normally don’t stay anywhere near this upmarket, but it was a lovely way to end the holidays. All the staff are super friendly and helpful

Theresa W.

The hotel and staff were exceptional! I felt spoiled with all the attention!

Lynnette C.

This hotel and spa far surpassed anything I could have ever imagined! It was beyond beautiful, the food and drinks were amazing and the staff were amazing! Our room was beautiful with an awesome view of the volcano. I loved this place! We received excellent, very personalized service!

Sasha P.

We were blown away by the resort. We walked into the most beautiful anniversary set up and dessert! The resort was BEAUTIFUL! The food everything was delicious!

Laurie W.

This resort was outstanding from beginning to end. The staff was wonderful and very attentive. The property was pristine and had everything we needed and then some. I will, and have, recommended this resort highly to friends who are interested in visiting Costa Rica.

Emily J.

This hotel was very nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. The room was absolutely beautiful, and the grounds and hot springs area were also amazing. However, we found the restaurants to be overpriced for the quality of food that was served, and we were sad that they did not offer a free shuttle into town. Overall, it felt like a very nice resort, but it seemed disconnected from the local community.

Henry D.

Great staff wonderful experience

Janet G.

WONDERFUL hotel and service!

Janele O.

It was outstanding. However, I can make a suggestion. While I understand it's a family resort it should also cater to adult travelers (with no kids). In example, access to bar with live music or a better entertainment, simply to not have to leave the resort looking for entertainment. Erick and Adriana were phenomenal at pool swim up bar. Raphael was amazing at breakfast in Tucain.

Geraldine N.

Great value for money!

Mark L.

My son enjoyed talking with the staff. It is clear they enjoy their jobs and bring a very happy/positive attitude to work. This hotel set high expectations for the rest of the trip. I mean, wow, we were so happy here and loved everything about it. One of the best hotels I've stayed at (and I travel >50% of the time for work).

Todd E.

Wonderful resort, no complaints.

Margaret C.

This was a great resort - the breakfast was amazing, and the rooms were perfect. We loved the hot springs and the gym.

Sonia P.

Very good room and great resort.

Rachael H.

Excellent facilities, we enjoyed watching the England World Cup match at the bar in the hot springs .

Jodi Q.

Arenal Springs was a peaceful and relaxing resort that exceeded all of our expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, truly embodying the spirit of “Pura Vida.” The hot springs were a highlight of our stay—we enjoyed them every day and even had dinner in the hot springs one evening, which made for a unique and unforgettable experience.

Patrick R.

This was an area we loved the first visit and my only "down" was that the normal restaurant wasn't open this time so getting meals on site were a little more crowded than normal. A fantastic resort overall and my family loved the sushi they could get while still enjoying the warm pools.

Justin F.

Beautiful hotel and amenities, we really enjoyed staying here.

Corinne M.

Loved this resort

Gerald B.

Resort was fantastic. Amazing view of the volcano. Hot springs were great and relaxing. Really enjoyed my stay there.

Bernard R.

A very nice resort. Expensive food.

Bradley R.

My family loved this hotel! The rooms were incredible with an indoor and outdoor shower, comfortable bed, and gorgeous environment. We had a private outdoor jacuzzi and saw lizards and frogs out our back door. My boys and I loved the private hammocks. The view of Arenal Volcano was icing on the cake (when it showed itself through the clouds). Staff at Arenal Springs Resort were amazingly friendly and helped cart us to and from our hotel room even in the rain. The on-site hot springs were amazing! One of my absolute favorite moments was hanging out in the hot springs, letting the little hot water waterfall splash on my shoulders as it rained on one particular evening. It doesn't get better than this! The gym was better than average, with big open windows and my 18-year-old son and I made good use of it to start our day. The breakfast experience was OUTSTANDING. I was blown away at how many options we had to fill ourselves up for the day. Freshly made-to-order omelets, yogurt parfaits, delicious local fresh fruit, donuts, eggs, sausage, bacon, and more I can't even remember. Beautiful environment and friendly wait staff. Easily one of the best hotel/resort experiences we've had.
