The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"One of the most incredible hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Don’t hesitate and don’t use any other local hot Springs they just feel like a Lido whereas the hotel has such a beautiful and scenic facilities, which means you’ll never have to buy entrance for local hot Springs! Huge shout out to both Evelyn and Andres at the front desk such hospitable incredible wise and friendly staff. It was so good here and especially happy hour that we extended the trip by day. I miss it already. I’m so happy to come here. It made my whole experience visiting Costa Rica🇨🇷 Pura Vida!!!"

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This place was amazing! The landscaping is a jungle motif, and they have an army of people to maintain the place. The hot pools are beautiful, well maintained and amazing. There is a hot tub that is shaped like a flower, and two swimming pools. Breakfast is a buffet that is absolutely amazing. It consists of a salad bar, an omelette bar, a bread, bar, hot breakfast entrées including typical Costa Rican, Gallo, Pinto, and cold cuts, juices, cereal, milk, and is included with your room. The rooms are beautiful with a stunning view of the Arno volcano. And the price cannot be beat. Highly recommend this place!"

"We stayed in the only apartment. It. Was across the street from the rest of the hotel. OVery spacious. One l large bedroom with a queen size bed, living room with record player and a few old records, a sofa/ sleeper, open dining area, and kitchen with tableware, a few pots and pans, tableware… No dishrags or drying mat. Very cozy The staff friendly and helpful. Great home made breakfast. Great view all the way to the Atlántico 0cean. Very enjoyable stay. Great soda and convenience store next to hotel. The town is 5 mins walk from hotel. Quite A steep walk. The town does not have much to offer. Get the hotel to reserve activities for you. We did most of the planning and reservations by email."

"My husband and I stayed at Chachagua rainforest for 5 nights last week; Master Bungalow. The tree houses were sold out ☹️. Such a beautiful, peaceful, safe, and breathtaking resort . The scenery is gorgeous: hot springs, rivers, trees, flowers. Daily housekeeping: linens, towels, bathrobes are replaced by fresh and clean ones. Wonderful staff who payed close attention to our needs: Maria❤️🌸, Enersto, Ericka , Nathalie , Kimberly, Roberto, Gretchen , Emma , Karen. ( sorry I forgot some names). Staff of Thermo et Colibri restaurants; tour guy, the spa’s ladies; thank you💕. Driver Norman; thank you for driving us from Chachagua to Guanacaste safely. Thank you to the wonderful staff of Chachagua Rainforest resort for making our stay so memorable and unforgettable❤️."
