To the Offer

Wake up to the sound of the rainforest, step onto your private terrace, and sink into a hot springs pool with Arenal Volcano rising out of the canopy in front of you. Monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds move through the trees around your tent throughout the day.

When you're ready to explore, three on-site restaurants take care of every meal, the spa handles the rest, and the resort's own sloth sanctuary is a short walk away. It's the kind of place where you run out of reasons to leave.
