Kandice & Billy

We will soon be enjoying a splendid morning of boating on Lake Arenal with magnificent views of the Arenal Volcano. Witnessing all the different species of birds like the flycatcher, kingfisher, the great blue heron and anninga with the sounds of howler monkeys in the background! One truly amazing honeymoon experience!

A long half day on the water including food and drinks! Rooster fish can reach over 4 feet in length and over one hundred pounds. The weight of the average fish hooked is about 20 pounds. The fish is popular as a game fish, but like most fish in the jack family (besides the amberjack and California yellowtail) it is not considered a good eating fish.

Is that Tarzan and Jane? No, It's Billy and Kandice!!! We will be swinging through the tree tops of the forrest canopy!

We'll let an experienced guide take us on a hike through Manuel Antonio National Park so we don't get lost! Visiting two pristine, sun-kissed white-sand beaches, Espadilla Sur and Manuel Antonio learning about local plant life, pointing out some of the subsiding fauna such as capuchin, squirrel monkeys, agouti and the three-toed sloth along with 184 species of birds. A honeymoon adventure we will always remember!

Why not try our luck at reeling in the big one? We will get an early start , and we will be off on our fishing trip! As we relax and breathe in the cool crisp ocean breezes, we'll bask in the warm sun admiring the sea's majesty stretching out miles and miles of pure beauty. Having fun in the sun with high hopes of catching mahi mahi, tuna, or billfish!!!

Travel deep into the rainforest for a full day adventure on one of the cleanest rivers in Central America. This trip includes a short hike to some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the area. In the rainy season (May thru December), you will encounter big-water Class III rapids with roller coaster type waves. In the dry season, (May thru December) you can raft with a guide, or challenge the rapids one on one in your own inflatable kayak (ducky). Expert guides will be there to help you navigate the rapids

Built on a rock high atop the resort’s sprawling grounds, our beautiful Premium Plus Rooms look out over the spectacular Pacific coastline, some with views extending to Manuel Antonio National Park and others boasting rich rainforest vistas stretching towards Pez Vela Marina in Quepos. Awake to the sound of waves kissing the shore or enjoy the delightful acrobatics of titi, whiteface or howler monkeys from your generously-sized private balcony outside wide sliding glass doors. Laze like the sloths visible in the jungle canopy just below your room or keep an eye out for the brilliant tropical birds – including toucans, parrots and mot mots — native to our jungle paradise.

With a spectacular view of the Arenal Volcano, natural hot and cold springs, four unique dining experiences, and an impressive full service Spa, The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal promises to overwhelm you in every aspect of quality, service and design. This Costa Rica luxury resort perches one thousand feet above the Arenal Valley on a mountain ridge just six kilometers north of the active volcano but safely outside the government declared danger zone. Our higher altitude relative to other hotels in the area allows for not only incomparable views of the Arenal volcano, the lush valley, and the surrounding towns that sparkle at night, but also access to the area’s famous prevailing breezes. In fact, the name Arenal volcano is an indigenous word meaning “Window of the Wind”. With an average daytime high temperature of 80˚F in the shade and nighttime lows averaging 70˚F you are sure to enjoy countless comfortable hours in your balcony hammock, al fresco dining, or sipping a frothy tropical cocktail in one of our spring pools.
