The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal

There was a lot of amazing things about The Springs and few not so great.. For the good- If youre staying here, start by sitting at the bar (outside fancy place and breakfast buffet) and chat with Donald. He had the best advice and amazing to talk to. We very much enjoyed his company. This property is incredible, truly one of the nicest properties we've ever stayed. The infinite amount of hot natural pools and the monkey slide of course, combined with the chlorinated pools was perfect. Make sure you take the bus down to Club Rio as there are many more there. This wasnt explained well as we thought we had to pay for something, so dont miss out! The floor with the game room was unreal. If i had kids this is absolutely the perfect place to take them. The not so great- I saw other reviews about food not being great but assumed they were just picky people.. They're not, its terrible. Did like the option of getting all the different menus from the various restaurants but sadly didnt help. Amazing options off site. We got one of the more expensive rooms (vista grande suite) and as others said, the bed was MISERY. Hard as a rock, sunken in the middle, jabbed by springs elsewhere. We had to layer the extra linens on top of the comforter just to get sleep. Also, as others mentioned, they advertise smart TVs and everything but the remote batteries were dead lol. That being said, I'd absolutelt stay here again because the property is that incredible, we made the bed work (have to imagine theyre replacing these), plenty of great food options off site/close by, and of course- have another chat with DONALD!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. All of the staff are so welcoming and friendly and all of the amenities, food, and suites are absolutely breathtaking. Antonio the bartender made my family and I’s experience so much better. He was always attentive, friendly, and such a delight. Antonio made us feel so welcomed and it was always a great time when we were at his bar. Instead of just giving us our drinks, he went out of his way to make friendly conversation and made us feel like family. I can’t wait to visit this beautiful country again and to have yet another great experience!

Great amenities for the kids and tons of fun. Specifically ANTONIO THE BAR TENDER was extremely polite and aided us with an information needed. He filled our nights with positive and good vibes, he made us feel as if we were family visiting his home instead of tourists. Antonio is great as well as all other staff!

We visited the resort for our best friend's wedding and it was absolutely perfect! The staff is kind, generous, professional and always willing to help with any of our needs. The rooms are huge and have the most stunning view of the volcano; the villas are unbelievable too! The food was delicious everywhere we went. The breakfast buffet had plenty of delicious options. The bar in the pool was at the perfect temperature to relax and view the volcano. We had so much fun seeing the animal sanctuary and experiencing the lazy river at Club Rio. I loved that there was so much to do at the resort whether you wanted to relax by the pool/hot springs or have fun zip lining and tubing; you could do it all! I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for their next vacation spot! Not to mention the wedding itself was also so beautifully done with a view of the volcano followed by a fun party down by the river.

Came here for a friend’s wedding.views were absolutely amazing. Rooms and beds face the volcano making the views incredible. Amazing attention to detail by the staff. Can order food from all the menus to your location. Staff was pleasant and on point. Would leave more than 5 stars if I could. Pura Vida!!!
