Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time at Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort. Our family of four stayed for five nights and enjoyed everyday we were there. The variety of hot springs was really specular! The staff were very friendly and professional. They took care of us from check in, to make reservations at the restaurant, to order transportations. Breakfast buffet was great and included. The welcome desert plate and wine was such a surprise! We truely enjoyed our stay and would recommend to any friends who decide to visit La Fortuna! "
