Culinary Delight

The restaurant at Arenal Manoa absolutely blew me away! The blend of open-air design with rich wood finishes created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was fantastic, especially the breakfast buffet with fresh juices and ready-to-order omelets. I also loved the dinner options, with plenty of delicious offerings for everyone’s palate. Dining with views of the volcano made every meal a special experience.

Spacious and Comfortable

I was blown away by the spaciousness and comfort of my room. The bungalow-style setup gave me the feeling of a private retreat, complete with a stunning view of the volcano. The décor was lovely, and I appreciated the ample natural light that flooded in through the large sliding glass doors. Overall, the ambiance was exactly what I hoped for and more!

Convenient Parking

The convenience of guest parking at Arenal Manoa was fantastic. I easily parked right outside my room, which made coming and going from the hotel so simple. The accessibility added to my overall enjoyment as I didn’t have to worry about my vehicle while exploring around the resort or heading out for adventurous excursions.
