Since opening in 2008, the world-class Springs Resort and Spa has become
an icon in Costa Rica's luxury resort industry and a major attraction
for the Arenal Volcano region. Honored with the TripAdvisor Traveler's
Choice 2011 Award as the #1 Relaxation/Spa Hotel in all of Central and
South America, the mountaintop resort is famed for every guest room's
surreal, picture-perfect views of the Arenal Volcano and surrounding
countryside, and for its mineral-laden, artesian hot spring pools. The
property's timeless architecture and elegant interior design ideally
complement the unique location and rainforest setting.
The show and the property were a "match made in heaven," according to
Lee Banks, the resort's developer and owner. "As a fan - especially of
the series' cinematography - I was honored when the producers contacted
us," he said. "The show's crew does a phenomenal job of capturing the
ambience of the hotels and regions they feature, reflecting a true
spirit of romance and adventure that's at the heart of our resort
experience." Banks expects the show will have positive impact for all of
Costa Rica, as millions of potential travelers see the lush landscapes
and array of adventure experiences within this authentic, natural
setting. I knew The Springs - and the Arenal region - were perfect
partners for the show," added Banks. "Arenal has the finest, most
diverse adventure tours in Costa Rica, and it's great that viewers will
see the very best the country has to offer."
