Why we love it

Sustainability tab

The sight of Arenal volcano in all its glory just never gets old! As the highest hotel in the area, views at The Springs are incomparable. There´s something magical about waiting for the conical giant to come out from behind the cloud and being rewarded by its majesty when it does. We loved wandering the hiking trails that lead to gorgeous and secluded natural hot springs close to the river. The mineral pools vary in heat and surroundings, making it fun to explore and find your favorite, from plunging waterfalls, river and volcano views, to quiet forest scenes and crystal blue water.
