Welcome to Arenal Manoa

A relaxing getaway in the mountains of La Fortuna.

What Costa Rica Vacations Love About Arenal Manoa

Just outside of the small town of La Fortuna sits the charming Arenal Manoa Hotel. The Arenal Manoa Hotel is a large, service-oriented property, with various amenities like two swimming pools, each with a spring-fed Jacuzzi, spa, and small farm on site. Arenal Manoa Hotel earned its Level 3 CST (Certificate in Sustainable Tourism) through the Costa Rica Tourism Board.

Great for families for a leisurely getaway

Arenal is abundant with hikes, sights, tastes, and adventure opportunities. Walkthrough the forest to a 200-ft (60-m) waterfall, swim in the emerald pool below; raft down the PeƱas Blancas River, search for animals along the banks; soak in the geothermal hot springs while looking upon the Arenal Volcano. In addition, guests can arrange a complimentary tour of the property’s farm, a fun outing for the whole family. 

Relaxed atmosphere with lots of space

The Arenal Manoa’s rooms are among well-manicured gardens, each with its patio and rocking chairs for relaxing afternoons. All suites are equipped with modern amenities while maintaining the rustic charms of a mountain resort. The hotel also offers both Superior and Honeymoon suites, each with additional amenities. The Honeymoon suites feature Jacuzzi-style hot tubs.

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
