"The property owner never responded to multiple messages. The link that VRBO sent with check in information was blank, and the host never provided directions or instructions to access the property. When I called him, the phone didn’t even connect to a voice mail. I think we were scammed."

"Great location near Monteverde—close to hiking and nature, yet peaceful and private. One morning we even spotted green parrots from the back of the home, which was a lovely surprise. The property is new and well-maintained, with a smart layout that worked well for our family. We appreciated the 1.5 bathrooms and access to a washer and dryer, which made our stay more convenient. The air conditioning in both rooms worked perfectly, keeping us cool. Inside, the home felt fresh and modern. We...

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

8/10 Good
"The main pool was lively and perfect for a dip or for the kids to play. The hot springs were phenomenal. We went several times a day and it was never too crowded but there was always someone to chat with. Staff was super friendly and generally helpful. We weren’t crazy about the breakfast buffet - but it’s hard to maintain freshness in climates like this and really it’s a matter of taste. The room was great, my daughter loved the plants in the bathroom! My only issue there was no long hanging area for dresses and hardly any space to put clothing (three small drawers). The property was absolutely beautiful and there was always some sort of wildlife to see. We would definitely go back."
