Dinner 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Enjoy the best fine dining in La Fortuna, Arenal in our incredible restaurant Las Ventanas where the only thing better than the view is the food. Be careful to avoid the window seats if you are afraid of heights because the windows are angled out to allow you to look almost straight down a thousand feet to the river below! At night the distant mountains twinkle with the lights of cities thirty miles away. Be sure to dine here at least once during the day and once during the evening to capture the complete experience.
- Los Perdidos Bar (The Lost Ones)
- The Ranchito Bar (The Little Rancho)
- Treetops Grill
- Tres Cascasdas (Three Waterfalls)
Our gourmet buffet restaurant would be appropriately described as a “Tasting” experience. Here you will sample to your heart’s content a complete salad bar with our signature dressings, hot and cold soups of the day, assorted fresh baked breads, and a selection of hot entrée items of which a few will be specially prepared for you right at the buffet. The menu changes daily and may tend toward Italian one day to Asian the next. Our dessert bar offers small bite size portions to minimize your guilt while sampling them all and, of course, maybe returning for an extra piece of your favorite. Fresh fruit juices, tea and coffee are included. Even though it is a buffet you will have a waiter attending to your every need. We like to refer to it as a “Full Service Gourmet Buffet”.

Dec 01, 2025One of the best resorts we stayed in! Get a higher floor in the Arracaria bldg.
What an amazing resort! We had such a lovely time with our family. Gigantic rooms facing the volcano. We were lucky that we got clear views of the peak from our balcony. We stayed at the Arracaria building. The thermal springs were incredibly relaxing. Dunno how they manage it but every single member of staff is amazing! My only regrets are that we didn’t stay here longer and that every other place in Costa Rica is going to be very ordinary afterwards. Def recommend.

Relaxation at Its Best: Hot Springs, Views, and Comfort
The property is absolutely stunning from the moment you pull into the lot. The service is impeccable, check-in was quick and seamless, which we really appreciated after a long drive. There are plenty of hot springs and so much to explore right on the property, yet it’s also conveniently close to town if you want to try local restaurants. The view of Arenal is unbeatable, and the rooms are incredibly spacious. Highly recommended!

Nov 23, 2025Wonderful view; food and activities not so great
The hotel is beautiful and the vistas cannot be beat. The staff are all lovely and super helpful. The hot springs are to die for! The rooms are very comfortable and there is complimentary laundry service. Considering the luxury element, I was surprised to find the food expensive and not that great. We noticed that the dining rooms were largely empty. The second night we opted to drive into town for dinner as there are many local options that are cheaper and better. The breakfast is not included and is just ok. The Club Rio is on site but note that each activity has an associated cost. One of the reasons for staying here was to enjoy that element and I was very surprised that there was an additional cost.

A majestic resort surrounded by natural beauty. Relax, explore, soak it in. Unforgettable for our family of 4.
The Springs Hotel is magical place - for our family of 4 (kids 15 and 12) we soaked up the hot springs and had some adventure too! Every detail is meticulously cared for. Stepping into the grand reception, we’re met by Joseph who took his time to introduce us to all the restaurants, activities and hot springs. Our room was exquisite - it had a private hot spring with a breathtaking view of Arenal volcano. You choose whether you’d like to lounge in the hammock, rock on the chairs or linger in the hot spring. There was plenty of space for kids and adults. We had so much fun exploring dozens of hot springs on the property. The biodiversity surrounding them was monumental. For a surge of adrenaline, we sped down the water slide many times. Day two we explored club Rio. The guides showed us animals (monkeys, lizards and turkeys). Before we surged down the rapids on the tubes, we soaked up more hot springs in the green and gorgeous rainforest. Our guides were super fun as we bumped and sped down the river. A huge shout out to Tony at the Treehouse restaurant. He showed us the local sloths across the way, explained the history of the Springs, served us a lovely meal and had many helpful suggestions to enjoy the area. Our goal of this trip was to have epic experiences and the Springs is at the top.

Our trip to the Springs was amazing. A true luxury resort
Our trip to The Springs was truly luxurious. The views were beautiful of the volcano from any spot on the resort, all of the hot springs were warm, the resort was well maintained, and the rooms were incredibly spacious with every detail being captured. We 10/10 recommend this resort and will be coming back. The resort also has a great gym and spa which would highly recommend taking advantage of for all travelers! Also - we saw LOTS of wildlife on and off the resort which made the stay extra special. If traveling by car to the resort, be aware of the windy roads and long car ride. If you get motion sickness, make sure to prepare for that in advance as the car ride can be long, foggy, and jerky due to manual transmission.
