The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time at the resort. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable and helpful. The amenities at Club Rio are great too. We repeated some of the activities because of how much fun we had. The only thing they could improve is the food. Food is not great at the hotel and it’s expensive."
