Top Peñas Blancas Hotel Reviews

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

10/10 Excellent
"This is an incredible place to stay. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. The views are breathtaking, and the amenities are top-notch. There are over 20 pools, slides, a game room, and even access to Club Rio! The only downside is that the food is way overpriced for the quality. I didn’t find anything on the resort that met the value-for-money ratio. Despite this minor flaw, I would highly recommend this resort."
