The most comprehensive resort in Arenal — The Springs, with 28 hot spring pools (the most of any property in the region), five restaurants, an on-site wildlife sanctuary with rescued sloths and monkeys, and its own adventure park with ziplines and ATV trails. Volcano and lake views from most pools. The day pass ($124, valid two consecutive days) is the most complete hot springs experience in Arenal.
Why We Chose It
The Springs occupies a hillside 7km west of La Fortuna with unobstructed volcano and lake views. Pools range from large family pools with waterslides to secluded mineral soaking pools. The Club Rio outdoor center at the base has kayaking, horseback riding, and wildlife encounters.
