Find your place to stay
Heliconias Nature Inn and Hot Springs offers a unique, family-operated eco-lodge experience amidst the Arenal rainforest. Guests can choose between rustic bungalows and immersive tree houses, many featuring private outdoor spaces. The property boasts on-site hot springs, a swimming pool, a restaurant, and tranquil gardens, providing a perfect blend of relaxation and nature immersion after exploring the Arenal Volcano region.
A bungalow in the rainforest has an appeal all its own. At Heliconias Nature Inn and Hot Springs, tree houses and private bungalows bring you close to the surrounding greenery, with birdlife giving you a reason to stop and pay attention. This family-operated eco-lodge, 17 kilometers south of Arenal Volcano, suits a trip in which the place you stay is part of the nature experience.
The accommodation reflects the family's wish to share the place they call home. Bungalows are built to sit comfortably within the surroundings, and the tree-house options make the trees themselves part of your sense of place. Birdsong can draw your attention away from the day's itinerary for a moment; lingering on the outdoor space gives you a chance to notice more of the rainforest around you. The family's approach centers on respect for the surrounding jungle.
The days need not be filled entirely with excursions. Take time among the gardens, follow a trail or ease into the hot springs, with the rainforest around you. A warm-water soak offers a different pace after exploring the Arenal region, and the lodge's restaurant and swimming pool add reasons to keep some of your vacation time on the property.
The choice between a bungalow and a tree house helps shape the stay. Both belong to the lodge's rustic, nature-minded character, while the individual room details reveal useful differences in comfort and outdoor space. A terrace or balcony lets you spend a little longer with the setting; some accommodations have air conditioning, while others rely on a fan.
Compare the room categories before deciding, particularly if air conditioning or a hot tub matters to you. The Deluxe Tree House has a hot tub, and the Indias Room has a hammock and fan. Choose the hot-tub retreat for soaking after an outing, or the Indias Room for time in a hammock with the rainforest around you.
Exploring Arenal Volcano National Park can bring a day of forest trails into the trip. Back at Heliconias, the hot springs provide a welcome change of rhythm: warm water, tropical greenery and time to enjoy the surroundings without rushing toward another stop. Nature encounters remain opportunities to watch and listen, with wildlife moving on its own schedule.
Heliconias' family-operated character and eco-lodge approach give the stay its personality. Choose it when you want rainforest surroundings, an alternative to a conventional hotel room and the pleasure of returning from an outing to a soak among the plants and trees.

overall the resort was in a wonderful setting and we saw sloths and toucan in the backyard and kids loved it . The host springs were nicely designed. The restaurant spread in the morning was limited and early breakfast would definitely help for early starters .Need to have More varieties in the menu.
