Beautiful accommodation in an ideally-located leafy riverside lodge overlooking Arenal volcano.

The rural riverside Arenal Manoa lodge has beautiful suites with spectacular views of Arenal volcano. Accommodation is bright and modern in bungalow-style chalets, with rocking chairs on wide private terraces perfectly positioned for admiring the views.

Spacious suites have plush bedding and private terraces surrounded by lush tropical plants, while some also have living rooms and private plunge pools.

There is a restaurant and wet bar beside the swimming pool, and hot tub in the garden. The spa offers a range of treatments and the healing waters of the thermal pools are fed by the property’s own volcanic springs.

The hotel has its own dairy farm on the premises, which you can visit for insight into traditional Costa Rican agriculture. Other excursions include visits to Arenal volcano, forest hikes, white-water rafting, and horse-riding to La Fortuna waterfalls.
