Excellent club hotel. Close to the city center with easily acessible parking. Great rooms and fantastic service. Awesome vibe.

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal sits on a mountainside 1,000 feet above the Arenal. Featuring spectacular views of the volcano, the tropical resort has 28 thermal spring pools with the highest quality mineral content in the area, the famous “Monkey Slide” at Perdidos Springs, and the Club Rio Outdoor Center set on one-mile of the Arenal River with on-site adventures such as water tubing, rock climbing, and horseback riding. There’s also a wildlife sanctuary with more than 100 rescued animals including monkeys, deer, sloths, toucans, jungle cats, and crocodiles.

The 14,000 square foot Spa and Fitness center encompasses an entire level of the main building and reflects a serious commitment to provide a complete wellness experience.
