The bungalow-style Montaña de Fuego Resort & Spa is set on lush, forested lands among lakes and gardens, all with a spectacular view of the Arenal Volcano.
You'll have the chance to sample authentic Costa Rican cuisine, enjoy the outdoor pools and relax in thermal hot springs.
The standard bungalows are tucked into tropical gardens and feature a private terrace where you can take in the majestic volcano. If you're looking for a serene hot soak, aim for the Garden Deluxe with its Jacuzzi.
There's the Junior Suite for couples, with its private terrace featuring a Jacuzzi for two, while the Lake Suite has clear lakefront views with windows that go from the floor to the ceiling.
If the family is all here, there's the Cantarrana Family building which accommodates five. All accommodations have organic bath products and their own terraces complete with rocking chairs for the ultimate relaxation.
This resort's Acuarelas Restaurant offers the farm-to-table experience alongside awe-inspiring views of the Arenal Volcano through soaring windows. Start off your day here with the complimentary breakfast buffet featuring both local cuisine and western staples.
Try sausages, pancakes, eggs, fresh bread, seasonal fruit, an array of cheeses and yogurt. For the authentic experience, be sure to sample Costa Rican coffee, plantains and chorreadas - a Costa Rican staple that are pancakes made from corn.
At dinnertime, you'll have plenty of options. Start off your meal with Tico-style ceviche, seafood with cilantro, red onion and citrus juice. There's also a large menu with organic chicken platters, pastas, seafood entrees and vegetarian selections. If meat is among your favorites, peruse the variety of locally raised pork and grass-fed beef options. Top off your meal with the house specialty dessert of flan lightly covered with caramel.
The EnGadi Spa looks to the spirit of the rainforest to rejuvenate your soul and body. Try an aromatherapy session featuring native plant essential oils. Experience a refreshing honey and coconut scrub or even a chocolate mask.
For the full experience, consider combination treatment packages. The Volcanic Experience, for example, starts with a Swedish massage.
Then, you'll have a detoxifying volcano mud wrap and a honey and clay facial mask before your trip to the sauna steam room. With the Jungle Rejuvenation package, you'll be treated to a body wrap, deep-tissue massage and a collagen bath. Whichever treatments you pick, you'll come out feeling rested, refreshed and ready to fully enjoy your Costa Rica resort getaway.
Thermal springs are an understandable draw here for many people and Montaña de Fuego delivers with its three mineral-rich and naturally heated pools for you to choose from. For a more bubbly experience with awesome views, try the outdoor Jacuzzi.
If you're ready to splash around with the family, there's a pool for children as well as a separate swimming pool for adults.
At the adult swimming pool, sample the house cocktail at the poolside bar. Known as the Montana De Fuego, this popular cocktail mixes pineapple, starfruit, citrus juices, coffee liqueur and the locally popular Cacique Guaro, a sugar-cane liquor.
For the vacation experience of a lifetime, plan to stay at the Montaña de Fuego spa resort.
