Meet your driver for a private transfer to Arenal.

A welcome package with your vouchers, a country map, and any other touristic information that may be useful will be waiting for you upon your arrival at your first hotel.

Make time for the natural hot springs at Arenal Springs Resort, with private access for a quieter, more relaxing soak. Slip into warm thermal pools set in lush gardens and unwind at your own pace with something cool to sip.

Explore Arenal’s rainforest on a private guided Hanging Bridges tour, where suspension walkways carry you through misty treetops, dense greenery, and postcard views toward Arenal Volcano. Then continue on a guided sloth walk at a family-run eco project, where your expert guide helps you spot these elusive animals in the wild and shares the stories behind their slow-moving lives and conservation challenges.

Our Arenal restaurant short list features three local favorites, each with a distinct point of view. Don Rufino spotlights contemporary Costa Rican cooking built around regional ingredients. CafÉ MediterrÁneo serves handmade pastas and wood-fired pizza with Arenal Volcano views. For a lively, casual night, Mercadito Arenal brings together gourmet street-food stalls and live music in La Fortuna. Your Destination Expert can assist with reservations, subject to availability.

This morning, enjoy time at leisure to explore at your own pace, or simply unwind at your hotel and recharge for what is next.

Trade the town for the rainforest as a naturalist guide leads you along forest trails at twilight, when fireflies flicker and nighttime calls start to rise. Move slowly to spot frogs, reptiles, insects, and other wildlife as the jungle shifts from day to dark. A small local snack is part of the outing, with transportation and park entry woven in for an easy, seamless return.

Meet your driver for a private transfer to Playa Hermosa.

Enjoy time at leisure at Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste, a calm crescent of sand on the Gulf of Papagayo. Swim in the sheltered bay, stroll the shoreline at sunset, or simply settle in and relax, with easy options nearby for a quick snorkel or boat outing if you want a touch more adventure.

Savor Playa Hermosa’s laid-back coastal dining, where fresh local flavors pair with warm breezes and sunset views by the shore. Settle in for fresh-caught seafood and Costa Rican classics, then linger as the sky turns gold. For reservations at Playa Hermosa’s beachfront restaurants, speak with your Destination Expert. Reservations are subject to availability.

Soar through Costa Rica’s rainforest canopy on a family-friendly zip-line adventure that reaches up to 30 meters above the forest floor. Glide along 10 cables and cross three hanging bridges, taking in the ancient forest from a true treetop perspective. Along the way, watch for monkeys and other wildlife moving through the canopy.

Bosque del Mar is a natural choice for a relaxed, optional meal with Playa Hermosa as your backdrop. Expect fresh seafood and tropical Costa Rican flavors, thoughtfully presented and served with warm hospitality. Come at your leisure for dining beneath the trees, with the rhythm of the surf setting the pace.

Tailor your free time in Playa Hermosa with a range of optional experiences, from snorkeling, diving, and a sunset sail to canopy tours, jet skiing, and white-water rafting. Venture farther afield with day trips to Miravalles Volcano, Palo Verde National Park, or the artisan town of Guaitil, and in season, look for turtle nesting. Your Destination Expert can help you choose and arrange the best options. Optional activities are available at an additional cost.

Enjoy a free evening to follow your interests, whether you step out to explore or unwind at your hotel.

Meet your driver for a private transfer to Liberia Airport. The duration is approximately 30 minutes.

Perched above La Fortuna, Costa Rica, Arenal Springs Resort & Spa looks out at the Arenal Volcano from thermal pools fed by 100% natural volcanic springs. It features 93 rooms and suites, each offering views of the volcano. Move between hot and cold pools, a swim-up bar, and treatments at the on-site spa, with daily sunrise yoga on an open-air deck. Five dining venues span Costa Rican, Italian, and Asian menus, from Ti-Cain's traditional plates to Segreto's wood-fired pizza. Families spend afternoons at the playground and game room, with free 24/7 golf-cart transport around the property.

Bosque del Mar is a peaceful, eco-minded boutique retreat set on the quiet southern end of Playa Hermosa, an easy 30-minute drive from Liberia International Airport, where calm, dark-sand shores make it especially well suited to families, swimming, and low-key seaside days. With just 32 suites and a handful of penthouses, the feel is intimate rather than resort-like, and accommodations echo the surrounding tropical gardens with earth-toned design, generous space, and privacy, plus amenities such as air conditioning and a terrace or balcony with garden or ocean views. Spend unhurried days between the beachfront, the pool and Jacuzzi tucked into greenery, and optional activities like kayaking or paddleboarding, then settle in at Niromi for open-air dining with ocean views or toast the sunset at the lounge bar. The village center is a short walk away, while nearby attractions and tours are easily arranged through the hotel, ideal for couples and families seeking barefoot luxury away from the crowds.
