The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal

Our trip to The Springs was truly luxurious. The views were beautiful of the volcano from any spot on the resort, all of the hot springs were warm, the resort was well maintained, and the rooms were incredibly spacious with every detail being captured. We 10/10 recommend this resort and will be coming back. The resort also has a great gym and spa which would highly recommend taking advantage of for all travelers! Also - we saw LOTS of wildlife on and off the resort which made the stay extra special. If traveling by car to the resort, be aware of the windy roads and long car ride. If you get motion sickness, make sure to prepare for that in advance as the car ride can be long, foggy, and jerky due to manual transmission.

Jeffry Urbina, the photographer, was amazing. You could tell that he really cared for what he was doing because he smiled pretty much throughout the entire duration of taking our photos just as if he was water tubing with us! The pictures came out very clear and he even went out of his way to help me locate and download the pictures because I was having a hard time myself. I really love Costa Rica!!!

The Springs Resort and Spa is an amazing place!! Our experience starts with one of the friendliest staffs we have ever encountered. The bell hops, the Waiters and bartenders, the cleaning staff, every single one goes out of their way to make you feel welcome with friendly smiles. The rooms are large, spotless, and all offer beautiful views and sounds of tropical birds and monkeys, and the volcano. From our room, we have watched 3 varieties of toucans, white faced capuchin monkeys and so many other colorful birds, and the flora is heaven for tropical plant enthusiasts! The restaurants are very good as well! Some staff stand out... Gruiven (one of the drivers) is incredible, the supervisor Jose Carlos of Tres Palmas is a lifesaver. I would give this resort and its staff more than 5 stars if I could!

Had an amazing time. Group of five of us used the 2-day passes, we spent a ton of time in the hot springs, slides and pool. We also went to club Rio and went horseback riding and tubing. The sanctuary tour was great too. It was incredible and the customer service is amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area, no better place to relax. The views and service were so perfect, they even helped me arrange to propose to my girlfriend with the volcano backdrop. Maikol Salas and Raquel helped put together flowers and a beautiful backdrop to make the moment special all within a few hours. Their hospitality and service were amazing. Thanks again Maikol and Raquel!

My husband and I came to the Springs Resort to celebrate our anniversary and take the honeymoon we didn’t get a chance for. From the moment we were greeted by Carlos, we knew we made the right choice! October is the Green Season but the late afternoon showers were the perfect addition to a morning full of sun and the lighter occupancy made us feel like we were top priority with the staff. Our upgraded room was perfect and so comfortable with the most incredible view of the volcano. We did not meet an unfriendly person and had the best couples massage/body wraps at the Las Hojas spa bungalow at Club Rio! That was probably the most relaxed we’ve ever been. We seriously loved everyone on the staff that helped us but we are truly grateful for the extra attention to detail that Maikol Salas provided. Whether it was picking a drink or something to eat, he went above and beyond! He made sure that my husband was safe from gluten and even came up with some amazing cocktails with our favorite liquors. If we needed any type of suggestion or information, he had it for us! We are already looking at our next trip back with family,
