Hotels in El Fosforo

"Loved it! Comfortable, great breakfast, helpful and nice staff, comfy books to chill in, free popcorn, family and card games available, etc. It was perfect for our family and very conveniently located."

"Arenal Manoa is everything a resort should be. The staff is not only very well trained and polite, but they are competent and eager to help make your stay good, they also speak English very well. The facilities were immaculate. I found not a single detail that had been overlooked, the room was large, comfortable, and modern with a nice, large and private patio with amazing views. The breakfast buffet had something for everyone, plenty of fresh fruit, cereal, oatmeal, traditional Costa Rican dishes, sausage and eggs, and even an omelette station. The restaurant is a very nice place, although I found the selection just a bit limited and it might have made a difference if I was on an extended stay, but it was perfect for my needs. They make a great pizza, too, by the way. The only thing close to a complaint I had is really not a complaint at all. The thermal pools are not very "thermal" They were about 30 degrees (86 F) and while warm, it was basically like a heated pool and not the sizzling hot jacuzzi like water I had expected. But the pools themselves are beautiful. There are several of them and they are typically about 10' in diameter, perfect for an intimate afternoon. They also have the people from the pool come around to ask if you want drinks, which is a plus. I loved my stay here, and I think you will, too."

"Great place in a great location with direct views of the volcano. The breakfast was incredible. "

"Amazing nature walk inside the property "

"The welcome drink were superb. The staff were friendly, and helpful to my needs. Very protective over me and my friend, and made us feel very safe and secure ."

"This hotel is a one of a kind. It is absolutely a marvel how such a hotel exists in the middle of the jungle/rainforest. It is simply gorgeous, and the staff is top notch! The property is amazing with hot springs everywhere - which are stunning and well maintained. The views of the volcano are stunning. So much to do here - You can even whitewater Kayak on site! There too many things to name to do a review any real Justice. What an amazing place!"

"Such a beautiful property, attentive staff. Tranquil and almost private hot springs pools. Gorgeous spa. Delicious food. Felt like we had the place to ourselves sometimes. Kids loved the farm too!"

"The lodge was fabulous. It’s definitely more secluded but that’s exactly what I as hoping for. The weather came through for us and we had stunning views of the volcano out our window/patio area. I enjoyed walking the trails and birdwatching. We found about 40 different species with a guide in 2 hours. The rooms were comfy and clean. The restaurant had a free breakfast which was much more than a buffet. Dining at night was pretty good. I wish there were a few more options at the restaurant. Oh also saw spider monkeys on the grounds. Great place. Wish I had more time there "
