Essence Arenal Hotel, Spa & Bio Farm

Me encantó la experiencia, el equipo de trabajo a otro nivel con su dedicación. Definitivamente volveré a reservar cuando vuelva a Costa Rica

The property is little dated but ok, it’s surrendered by nature, so it would be nice if cabins had some outdoor sitting furniture. The area has some beautiful views on the lake and volcano, it’s hard to beat!

Ich habe mir eine Woche Retreat, Yoga & Detox im Essence Arenal Resort gegönnt und völlig überwältigt. Das Resort mit Eco-Fram, Trails, Spa, Tours, hübschen Unterkünften und vor allem auch hervorragender Küche ist ein Ort zum Energie tanken und die Schönheit des Lebens und unseres Planten zu geniessen. Die Crew, inkl. der beiden profesionellen Yoga-Instruktoren sind sehr herzlich, hilfsbereit und professionell. Die Stimmung ist erfüllt von Entspanntheit, Freude und Herzlichkeit. Ich komme bestimmt wieder! VIELEN DANK Essence Arenal Team ＜3 _ I treated myself to a week of retreat, yoga & detox at Essence Arenal Resort and was completely overwhelmed. The resort with its eco-fram, trails, spa, tours, beautiful accommodation and, above all, excellent cuisine is a place to recharge your batteries and enjoy the beauty of life and our planet. The crew, including the two professional yoga instructors, are very warm, helpful and professional. The atmosphere is full of relaxation, joy and warmth. I will definitely be back! THANK YOU Essence Arenal Team ＜3

Loved this stay so much!!!! Highly recommend.

Amazing gem of a hotel. Absolutely beautiful hotel with incredibly friendly service and amazing food. I would highly recommend it. The chocolate tour was a highlight.

My daughter and I headed to the Arenal Volcano are for 5 nights in January. I selected Essence Arenal Hotel because it offered yoga on site as well as other spa services/activities and its location near Arenal Volcano National Park, La Fortuna, and other adventure activities which were on our list of things to do in the area. Essence EXCEEDED my expectations! I don't even know where to begin... the beauty, food, service??? All of it! The surrounding beauty will immerse you in the rainforest eco system. The food is not to be missed. We ate every breakfast and dinner on site and completely enjoyed every bite. The restuarant should be a destination in and of itself. We attended yoga twice (loved it) and had massages (delightful!) A highlight of our trip was the nighttime wildlife tour with Aurelio was a once in a lifetime experience. I have to recognize this amazing staff who made every touchpoint memorable especially our friend, Manfred in the restaurant. A warm thanks to Johelin who helped coordinate before arrival, Nicola who greeted us upon arrival, Alejando and Kay for their yogic guidance, Chritina and Alejandro for relaxing massages, Rudda and Jairo for their on point service. I know there are many others working behind the scenes to make this resort a destination like no other. WE WILL BE BACK!
