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

Arenal Manoa is a resort in the foothills of Arenal Volcano, a 10-minute drive from the town of La Fortuna and 20 minutes from the national park. With good quality accommodation and a range of facilities, as well as impressive views of the volcano throughout the property, it’s a great place to stay.

The resort is spread out and surrounded by beautifully maintained tropical gardens, attracting a lot of birdlife and ensuring the 80 rooms retain a sense of privacy. Accommodation is spacious and bright and comes with air-con and a private terrace with either garden or volcano views.

For an upgrade guests can stay in one of the ten Chato Suites with their own private plunge pool and a spacious deck replete with multiple lounging options as well as an outdoor shower, perfect for an afternoon’s relaxation after a morning full of adventure.

Facilities include a small complex of hot springs, two swimming pools, an open-air riverside spa and three on-site restaurants serving a la carte menus, pizza and sushi.
