Despite the size of the hotel you never feel it. The rooms are excellent with fridge, minibar, free WiFi and coffee making facilities. There are 2 comfortable double beds with and enormous shower room. There is a small patio with 2 rocking chairs and a table where you can relax and watch the wildlife. Breakfast is excellent with a lot of choice and an eggs station but is a little walk away depending on the location of you room. We also had dinner there which was good. You are really restricted to the hotel as the nearest town is a $13 taxi ride away. Staff are helpful and efficient read less

Super friendly staff, immaculate grounds and room and what a view!!!! Breakfast was amazing and you are truly able to submerge yourself in the Costa Rican nature with the full privacy the rooms provide in the lush garden. There is nothing negative to say as the full experience was 100%. The hotel is located very close to the highlights of the Arenal area, but the surroundings are an experience in itself. As we were staying here during the Covid pandemic, I can only say; they have it covered! Visiting the Manoa is 100% safe. Staff is taking every precautionary measurement possible, such as facemasks, handwashing, disinfecting everything all the time (including menu’s, restaurant tables etc). Guest temperature is taken upon arrival and social distancing is in place throughout the entire hotel.
We loved every minute of our stay! read less

We also had a perfect view of the Volcano. The grounds are beautiful with easy access to a shuttle (although we walked) and the restaurant food is delicious. They also have a pool and hot springs but we didn't have time on this visit to enjoy either. The one recommendation that I would suggest is that the hotel not use bleach. When we moved into our room the smell was over powering and we had to have them return to remove it which they gladly did. There are environmental products that can be used instead of bleach.

A big shout out to Adrian at the front desk who made our trip so enjoyable! He organized our day trip to the Hanging Bridges, Fontana Waterfall, Arenal Hike and lunch. The Tour Operator he selected (I can't remember their names) were fantastic and knew they stuff. Sadly, due to the current situation with COV-19 we had to end our trip abruptly and return to Canada and Adrian kindly accommodated our need to cancel our remaining tours and with no penalty.

If you are going to Arenal, definitely stay at this hotel and ask for "Adrian". He will make your trip enjoyable! read less

Since the booking, the staff was super friendly and very attentive to all the questions. They accomplished mostly all of our requests and since the arrival to the facilities made us felt at home. The room was very good with comfy beds and pillows, lots of amenities and of course, a great sight to the volcano. Gardens were amazing! Full of flora and fauna everywhere... by the way, I’ve managed to get some wonderful shots all around the place Nice family pool and thermal water jacuzzi!! We had the chance to enjoy it a lot since hotel capacity was not full at all. We got an all inclusive package, they offer us to take our orders and also to book a place at the restaurant for every single meal via WhatsApp, which makes it super easy, you don’t have to wait long times for your food. Highlights to the FOOD which is really GOOD in quality and quantity.

My only feedback here would be to review the cocktail prices at the wet bar since are a bit over rated compared to others.

Overall, wonderful place with wonderful staff. You MUST visit this gem at La Fortuna, Costa Rica
