We stayed for three nights at the Tabacon Resort near the Arenal Volcano. It was cloudy when we were there except for when it was cloudy and raining.

What Arenal looks like when it is not raining

Tabacon is a super nice hotel with the most phenomenal hot spring resort just down the road.

We spent one day at the pools, getting massages and in the waterfalls.  The water everywhere is about 105 degrees F.  Magnificent!

Lots of places have swim up bars.  This one is in a pool of 100 degree F water.  The perfect temperature it turns out for enjoying a Mai Tai.

Did I mention the flowers?

I overheard someone say that it was like “walking around in a floral arrangement.”
