Find Resorts & Hotels with Spas in Northern Plains

"We stayed at Arenal Manoa Resort & Hot Springs in a Chato Suite and overall had a wonderful experience. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery with views of Arenal volcano (when the clouds clear). The resort feels peaceful and spacious, which adds to its relaxed atmosphere, and it’s only a 5-minute Uber ride into town, which was inexpensive, safe, and reliable. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a private pool and terrace waking up to that view was a real highlight. The hotel’s hot springs were another standout: well maintained and perfect for relaxing after a day out. We spent plenty of time there enjoying drinks and the sushi, which was particularly good. The staff were excellent throughout friendly, professional, and very helpful making us feel genuinely welcome. The food overall was good; breakfast in the room was nice, though not as hot by the time it arrived. In the main restaurant, the egg station could improve by providing separate equipment for vegetarian cooking. Also, the toasters didn’t work well and heated bread very slowly small issues that could be easily fixed. The resort is quite spread out, so expect some walking (or use the shuttle), and Wi-Fi can be inconsistent, but neither detracted much from the stay. Overall, we loved our time here and would recommend it. It’s a great mix of comfort, nature, and relaxation exactly what you’d want from Costa Rica. Tip: the Chato Suite is well worth it. "

"Amazing room and view"

"What a beautiful property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hot springs (which stay open until about 3am), the views of the Arenal Volcano, the room amenities, the tasty (& varied breakfasts), the helpful staff, the views from our porch.... I could go on! Staf were helpful organising tours and we really liked how there was a coffee & tea station in reception as well as in the rooms. We also enjoyed our dinner at the on-site restaurant Surá. Highly recommended"
