Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing for my wife and I. We had an amazing view of the volcano every morning waking up and looking out the windows. Rooms were cleaned daily and even had our bed turned down every night when we got back to the room. The pool and hot springs felt amazing and we're very clean. The food was great especially the Sushi wow great stuff. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun relaxing and quiet setting. There birds and sloths were right outside our amazing room. Thanks Again for an exceptional stay."

Montaña de fuego Mountain Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great resort! We stayed for 7 nights with the all-inclusive package. The food and drinks were incredible, and ALL staff were lovely and a pleasure to see every day. There was confusion with the all-inclusive package vs. the premium all-inclusive package, that was mis conveyed upon booking. Overall we were very pleased with our booking and stay, but would encourage to check the details of your booking prior to. It gets BRIGHT early in the day, and our room did not have any blackout curtains. Highly recommend packing an eye mask if you would like to sleep in. The views were absolutely AMAZING. I am so happy I found this resort & so happy we booked our stay here."
