The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal

About us

With its unsurpassed attention to detail the stunning new Springs Resort & Spa seeks to redefine the highest standards of excellence for world class luxury resorts. The timeless architecture and interior design blend thoroughly with the unique location and natural attributes of the 165 acre property such as the spectacular view of the active Arenal Volcano, the mineral laden, artesian hot springs, the lush rain forest and the incredibly scenic Arenal River. Although recently opened in the fall of 2008 the resort has become quickly famous for the surreal, picture perfect view of the Arenal Volcano and surrounding countryside offered from every single guest room. From the bed you need only to open your eyes to gaze directly at the smoking volcano framed flawlessly by a grand arched window. We invite all interested meeting planners to come for a site inspection and experience firsthand why The Springs Resort & Spa offers one of the most unique meeting venues on earth where luxury and ecology coexist in perfect harmony. Although we are an independent boutique hotel we offer more exceptional group amenities than larger chain resorts. We were voted by CNN Travel as one of "The Seven Resorts in the World with the Most Spectacular Views" and we were also the filming site for ABC's The Bachelor Costa Rica Episode in 2011. Below are some of the outstanding reasons why you should choose us to host your special group. • Onsite Private River and Outdoor Center (Club Rio) in our 80 acre Rainforest Preserve to host custom Team Building Programs and Corporate Challenges- see details below. • Seven uniquely themed indoor or covered multi-function spaces and over 17,000 sq. ft. of tropical outdoor, poolside, terrace and riverfront space for unforgettable parties and themed events. • Our groups truly appreciate the five uniquely themed dining options and six bars/lounges that provide a unique cocktail or dining theme each day of their stay. • The Arenal area of Costa Rica offers by far the most impressive selection of rainforest based Day Excursions and Adventure Activities in the entire country. Perhaps the most exciting group amenity is our onsite Club Rio Outdoor Center featuring a private stretch of the Arenal River (class I,II,III rapids) running through our 80 acre rainforest preserve. We can custom design the perfect teambuilding format for your group at Club Rio with both adventure and educational activities including river tubing, river kayaking, horseback riding, rock climbing/rappelling wall, guided nature hikes, hot springs and our riverfront Rancho Club Rio Restaurant (2,375 sq. ft. of service area seats 130). Please ask about our Team Building Programs, they can be fun and funny or as seriously competitive as you desire. Your guests will also be amazed at our Wildlife Rescue Center down at Club Rio where we care for over 25 rescued jungle cats including margays, jaguarundis, ocelots, and pumas. Other wild animals placed in our care by the Costa Rican Wildlife Ministry include white face monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans and sloths. Our expert nature guides will take your group on an educational tour of this facility and they will learn about the rescue programs and the problems concerning the future survival of these species. Unlike many other group hotels in Costa Rica you don’t need to leave to see the rainforest; at The Springs Resort and Spa you are surrounded by it. With over 20 hot spring pools found throughout the resort and our 14,000 sq. ft. Sanctuary Spa and Fitness Center there is so much to do onsite your group will need a lot of free time on the property to explore and enjoy. However, because the Arenal area boasts the most impressive collection of adventure activities in Costa Rica we highly recommend many off-site tours for group itineraries. Our suggested tours/day excursions are Club Rio Teambuilding or Fun Day (onsite), Pure Trek Canyon Waterfall Rappel and Sky Trek Zip Lin
