Everything! And You Do Not Even Have To Stay the Night to Enjoy Everything The Springs Has To Offer
If you’re a fan of The Bachelor, or Keeping up with the Kardashians, you’ve no doubt already heard of The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal… the exclusive and luxurious property that’s become one of the trendiest (and spendiest) things to do in Costa Rica.
The property, as you might expect, is impossibly beautiful. Perched over 1000 feet in the sky above Arenal Volcano and the villages that dot the landscape below. The volcano views from The Springs resort Arenal are nothing short of breathtaking. And the acres and acres of thermal pools hidden throughout gardens are easily as mesmerizing.
With rooms and amenities practically unheard of anywhere else in Costa Rica, it’s easy to imagine that accommodations at this Costa Rica hot springs paradise come at a premium. You would be absolutely correct about this, as the least expensive room (in low season) will set you back over $600 per night! But as you also might expect, every room is magnificent, with every creature comfort attended to. Enjoy a cocktail from your in-room bar while nestled in a rocking chair on your terrace. Every room has one, naturally, with a stunning view of the volcano and countryside. Included also are amenities such as Apple TV, in-room surround sound home theater system, marbled bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, and tons more.
Feeling particularly fancy? Perhaps Villa Palacio is more your speed. This 5-bedroom, 6-bath mountain-top hideaway features an infinity pool and plenty more, with a price tag of just under $5,000 a night, big spender!
Feeling hungry? The restaurants – 5 of them – each work around a different concept and offer their own unique flavors. Snacks and sushi, fine dining, a cafe vibe or a steakhouse grill, and even a sweet retreat in the trees, are available to you each and every day for dine-in or room service. There’s something for everyone here, and if you’re in a drinking mood, you’re in luck because there are 5 bars too! Numerous opportunities to get your drink on.
If the cocktails at those 5 bars end up catching up with you at some point, as they no doubt will, it’s all good! There’s a 24,000 square foot full service spa to melt your cares away, or at the very least make you look like a million bucks while you convalesce.
Putting this region on the map for quite a long time now is Arenal hot springs, its waters famously warm and soothing, a real treat for the office-weary bodies of the masses. And you might be surprised to know that tests of their hot mineral springs reveal an ideal natural combination of high bicarbonate and high chlorides with relatively low sulfur content to provide a safe and clean soaking experience. In layman’s terms this basically just means they’re the best hot springs in Arenal.
The grounds are immaculate, the view is to die for, the rooms are incredible, the potential for fun at every turn is off the charts. As you look around you know that indeed it doesn’t get much better than this. And that’s mainly why you can’t afford it.
But wait, you actually can!
OK, maybe you can’t do the “snuggle in my rocker on my private terrace” bit, but you actually can hang out here. All day if you want. Even two days if it suits you. Starting at less than 70 bucks amigo. Not kidding! The Springs Resort at Arenal offers a Day Pass!
Enjoy the best Arenal volcano hot springs, the 20+ pools, the five restaurants and yes the five bars too! These are added expenses of course but it’s also worth noting that one of the Day Pass packages actually includes lunch. So you could build that into the cost of your day and be sure you stay right on budget! Arrive any time after 8:00 AM and stay until closing time (10:00 PM). And if you buy the two day pass, you can do all of it again tomorrow! Go back and forth as much as you like. Think of The Springs Resort as a fabulous sojourn within your already incredible Costa Rican holiday.
Above and beyond the Day Pass fee, they also offer a guided tour of the Wildlife Preserve they run in conjunction with the MINAE (Ministry of the Environment and Energy). This special place is for wild animals that have been confiscated from poachers, donated or surrendered. They are currently looking after a menagerie of jungle cats, monkeys, sloths, and plenty more are always arriving.
Want to visit the most incredible Costa Rica hot springs resort but don’t want to break the bank? Now you can! This exclusive resort has made their day pass the most accessible, luxurious, and fun thing to do in Costa Rica, hands down!
Bringing the family? Club Rio Adventure Park and nature preserve is a veritable wonderland of fun activities and things to see and explore. Kayaking, tubing, horseback riding, rappelling, bird watching… all of these things, and more if you can believe it, are options for you! Tour the wildlife sanctuary, hike through the jungle, create a package deal, or post up near one of the several pools and the best hot springs in Arenal (available in hot OR cold my friend), and do literally nothing at all. You’ve earned it.
