I recently stayed at the Arenal Springs Resort and Spa from 6/5/13 to 6/12/13, and it was the best vacation I enjoyed in a long time. At the lobby you will be greated by Tony, who was fantastic and the overall service was outstanding especially Walter at the bar next to the lobby. The rooms were very clean and the... More

Overall, this resort is perfect for the price. It is extremely clean, the food is good enough, the hot springs and swim-up bar are fun for adults and kids, and the service is impeccable. We got the hotels.com price which was $115 per night. We couldn't believe what a great deal it was until we laid down on the beds.... More

This place has a bit of a tropical suburbia feel to it with the little houses lined up along a grid of streets. The room was nice, it had a shower with a solid window on one side of it (half frosted for privacy but still mildly unnerving). It was fun to see the volcano as you were showering though... More

This resort has amazing views of Arenal volcano. Our room faced it, with two chairs out front to appreciate it in comfort. We received a warm welcome by staff, and were shown to a very spacious, comfortable room (the beds are hard but clean and comfortable). The "rock garden" shower was a fun touch. What really makes this place great... More

What a beautiful complex. The shrubbery, flowers, large grassy areas and views of Arenal are spectacular. Walking the grounds is wonderful experience. The pool layout is an architectural masterpiece. Several hot spring pools with jets in addition to cooler water pools. It is true that the rooms are not "suites" and there are no chairs or dresser drawers and the... More

Arenal was a great place to stay. Very safe, clean, well maintained grounds. The hot springs and pool were very refreshing and the swim up bar was very convenient.

This property was beautiful! Awesome view, clean rooms, gorgeous pool and hot springs,delicious breakfast, friendly staff. The only negative was the lack of ceiling fans and that the air conditioning only works when you are in the room. My family and I would definetely go back!

We just spent three nights at Arenal Springs Resort. While the staff were very pleasant and the view was outstanding, our initial impression was disappointment. The resort complex looks like a Florida retirement condo/duplex community with a boxy layout of paved streets, yellow curbs, and asphalt driveways. Our "junior suite" was just a standard sized hotel room with two queen... More

Our family spent 5 days at the Arenal Springs Resort and Spa. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The rooms are clean. The beds are as hard as concrete. The food at the restaurant is ok. The springs are very nice. The wet bar staff was great.
