At a glance

The Springs Resort & Spa sits in La Fortuna de San Carlos in Costa Rica’s northern Alajuela Province, with direct sightlines to Arenal Volcano from every room category. The hotel runs 57 rooms across a property structured around the volcanic landscape, with multiple hot spring pools fed by mineral-rich water rising from underground. Cold pools sit alongside for the contrast bathing routine that built the property’s reputation.

La Fortuna sits at the gateway to Arenal Volcano National Park, with hiking, white-water rafting, and waterfall trails all within easy distance. The town itself is a 10-minute drive, with restaurants, shops, and adventure operators clustered around the main square.

The resort spreads across landscaped tropical gardens, with rooms set within five minutes’ walk from the main areas. A free 24/7 golf cart service runs for guests who want a shortcut. Dining covers three independent restaurants spanning Costa Rican, Italian, and Asian cuisine, plus a poolside bar and café. Natria Spa handles wellness alongside the natural thermal pools.
