“This resort emphasizes immersion in the rainforest, which extends to private hiking trails. Balinese and Costa Rican design elements meet in the hillside rooms, many with views of Arenal Volcano, and multiple pools include a swim-up bar. I found the full-service spa and comprehensive safety features particularly noteworthy.”
