My partner and I booked three nights at Arenas Del Mar when traveling through Costa Rica. My only regret is not staying longer. If you are driving yourself be prepared for a VERY steep road. Since Arenas is smack dab between the jungle and the beach guest services drives you in a golf cart to reception from the car park.... More

This hotel was absolutely perfect for our honeymoon (and would be perfect for any trip). Everything about the hotel and our trip was absolutely perfect. The views from the hotel are spectacular and they are one of the few hotels in MA with direct access to the beach. But what made our trip even more incredible was the unbelievably friendly,... More

View from balcony was spectacular. You could see Manuel Antonio Nat'l Park. Beautiful birds everywhere. Sloths, white faced monkeys and howler monkeys made daily appearances. Breakfast by the pool and lunch by the ocean were unbeatable. The staff was always attentive, friendly and happy to be there. They appreciated the nature as much as us tourists.

I travel quite a bit for business and pleasure, so my standards are high. Our trip to Costa Rica and in particular, our stay at the Arenas del Mar was out of this world. The hotel, the food, the environs, and most importantly the staff, made this our best vacation ever. We will return!

situated on the edge of Manuel Antonio park, and in the jungle at the water's edge, with spectacular sunsets over the water, This hotel/resort has everything.

It is... More

Arenas del Mar is a wonderful boutique hotel that offered our family (kids 17 and 14) a place to truly reconnect. The rooms were spacious enough, clean and well maintained. The unbelievable view of the ocean from our balcony was quite stunning. The staff was warm and truly professional. The meals were exquisitely prepared, offering a good variety of typical... More

My wife and I stayed for several days for our 10th anniversary. Everything was wonderful. The staff, present 24 hours a day, are instantly available. Both restaurants offer a large regional variety of great food. The northern beach is private and secluded whereas the southern beach has people, culture and a town nearby. Very romantic and great for kids too.

Not much to add to the reviews for this resort that have not been said before about this lovely resort. We stayed in an Ocean Breeze Suite which was extremely comfortable with everything you could possibly want – large bed, two bathrooms, fridge, coffee making facilities and of course the huge terrace with the hot tub. The only minor fault... More
