Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to experience Rio Celeste from Hotel Arenal Springs?

We recommend dedicating a full morning to the hike to Rio Celeste waterfall; the vibrant blue water is truly unforgettable. The hotel can arrange guided tours, which we find invaluable for spotting sloths and toucans along the trail and learning about the unique ecosystem.

What unique amenities does Hotel Arenal Springs offer that we shouldn't miss?

We absolutely love the natural hot springs at Arenal Springs; soaking in the mineral-rich waters with the sounds of the rainforest around you is pure bliss after a day of hiking. The volcano views from many of the rooms are also sensational, especially at sunrise.

What kind of wildlife can we expect to see around Hotel Arenal Springs and Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio?

While not a traditional safari, the area is teeming with incredible biodiversity; we've often spotted howler monkeys, sloths, and a vibrant array of birds like toucans and hummingbirds right on the hotel grounds. Inside Tenorio, keep an eye out for tapirs and pumas, though they are much shyer.

When is the ideal time to visit Hotel Arenal Springs for the best weather and park experience?

We recommend visiting during the dry season, from December to April, for the most reliable weather for hiking to Rio Celeste and enjoying the hotel's outdoor amenities. While the 'green season' brings occasional afternoon showers, it also offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds, which we find appealing.

What should we budget for activities and transportation when staying at Hotel Arenal Springs?

We recommend budgeting for guided tours to Rio Celeste, which typically range from $60-100 per person, as they enhance the experience and safety. Transportation costs can add up, so consider renting a 4x4 vehicle for flexibility, or factor in private transfers which the hotel can arrange.
