Arenal Vacation Packages
Places to Visit in Arenal
We have all the latest sightseeing tips for your impending trip to Arenal. Grab your organizer and get ready to start filling up your itinerary.
Protecting our native habitats is vitally important. Get lost in the serenity of nature at Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park and see what animals have made it their home. There's a great range of things to do close by. Watch water bubbling beneath a blanket of steam at Tabacon Hot Springs. This geothermal attraction, a result of heated water rising from the earth's crust, is undisputedly one of the area's hottest spots! Still have time on your hands? Up for some fun on the water? Then slap on the suntan lotion and dive headfirst into some invigorating water sports at FlyZone Wakeboard School.

La Mansion Inn Arenal
Road 142, 20 Kms West from the Dam, Arenal, AlajuelaWe visited La Mansion Inn as a family (myself, my husband and 2 boys - ages 10 & 13) and had a wonderful time.

Hotel Laguna Arenal
9km SW from Nuevo Arenal, road 142 from La Fortuna Arenal, Arenal, GuanacasteStaying here was honestly the highlight of my Costa Rica trip.

Agua Inn
20 Meters West of the Road to Guatuso, Nuevo Arenal, Arenal, AlajuelaThis was a wonderful place to stay. The owner made us feel completely at home. The property was beautiful. It is on a river and there is also a large pool. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it highly.
Lucky Bug B & B
2 Km West of Rios dos Bocas, ArenalThis property is located in the middle of the forest. You can hear all the creatures that live there. The aesthetics, the layout, the details are all beautifully done. The breakfast was delicious and they were really good portions.
Ceiba Tree Lodge
Nuevo Arenal Center, 6km highway to La Fortuna, Arenal, Guanacaste ProvinceFantastic place! what views! Dirk is an excellent cook too! Birds galore and much more.
Hotel Los Héroes
142, Provincia de Guanacaste, Arenal, GuanacasteThe hotel has a very good service, good food, and the most amazing view of the lake. My only recommendation is to update the infrastructure a little bit. Some door handles not in good shape.
