“This is a luxury operation with naturally heated pools in a rainforest setting, the kind of place where a splurge makes sense, even for a single night. It stands out for its extensive thermal mineral springs and private river, not to mention adults-only areas and customizable dining. I think it's a great choice if you want to combine wellness with adventure near the Arenal Volcano.”
