This resort suits me perfectly! I enjoy the private beach, amazing infinity pools, and excellent dining. The staff even helped my elderly parents during our first stay. I recommend using the complimentary boogie boards. I'm coming back for Christmas!

Consider taking a guided wildlife tour. the local guides have incredible knowledge and can point out fascinating animals that you might otherwise miss.

Sought wildlife sightings, found sloths everywhere.

The resort was beautiful, quiet, and clean.

Food was over-priced for the quality, particularly a very average burger priced at 25 USD. The ongoing renovations next to the beach made it difficult to relax due to constant drilling. Our room felt small compared to other hotels we've stayed at in Costa Rica, which was disappointing.

rediscover tranquility with easy access to nature and beaches

the stunning ocean view from my balcony and the beautiful trails winding through lush greenery made my stay unforgettable, allowing me to soak in nature’s beauty while being just a short walk to Manuel Antonio National Park.

Wildlife Encounters and Stunning Ocean Views

We spent an unforgettable four nights in our Ocean View Superior room, which had breathtaking sea vistas and a wraparound balcony perfect for relaxation. The wildlife around the resort was captivating. we spotted monkeys and sloths just steps away from our door. The beach access was incredible, allowing us to unwind on soft sand with surf at our feet. Although the resort's dining prices were on the higher side, the exquisite seafood and fresh fruit platters were worth it.

I had a fantastic stay. The views from the Ocean Breeze Superior room were fine. The staff arranged excursions effortlessly. The private beach was a perfect spot for relaxation. The food was delicious and had plenty of options. 🌅

Would recommend for a weekend outing

Stunning ocean view, exceptional service, with a private beach that made our mornings so relaxing while enjoying the included breakfast.

Not a single issue.

Equal parts impressive and disappointing

The staff were super friendly and went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. The wildlife sightings like monkeys and sloths right on the property were a delightful surprise.

While the main lobby offered breathtaking views, navigating the remote steep road to the hotel was stress-inducing. it was particularly challenging during rainy nights.

I truly appreciated the beautiful trails winding through lush greenery, making it easily accessible for seniors while providing a serene environment to soak in nature’s beauty. The stunning ocean views from my balcony were simply breathtaking.

Restaurant menu could use more variety for extended stays.

At Arenas del Mar, I enjoyed the serenity of the fine ocean view from my balcony. The wraparound porch provided a perfect setting for relaxation amidst tropical sounds. Despite minor service delays during peak hours, the amazing beaches and exquisite food made for an lovely experience.

beautiful views but could improve service

The stunning wildlife sightings right from our room made every morning exciting, especially seeing monkeys play nearby. The wraparound balcony was my favorite spot to unwind while enjoying the soothing sounds of nature. I was impressed by the breathtaking sea view that opened up each day as I stepped outside. Beach access was another highlight, allowing us to enjoy morning walks along the soft sand.

While the views were spectacular, the service at times felt disorganized, especially during busier hours.

The stunning ocean views from the balcony were a highlight, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The smaller private beach offered a serene escape, complemented by the generous portions and fresh ingredients of the delicious salads served at the bar. However, while the staff were friendly, service at times felt slow, particularly during peak hours. Additionally, the nearby renovations impacted the tranquility of the surroundings. Despite these issues, the overall experience was enjoyable.
