Just returned from a week in Costa Rica. Manuel Antonio was our first stop. Arenas Del Mar was a great place to relax and unwind from work pressures. It was a great start to our week. The hotel was almost empty, which felt odd, but it meant that we got a lot of individual attention. The staff were incredibly friendly... more

Arenas is the best hotel in Manuel Antonio. My wife and I stayed here for a week and we enjoyed every single minute of it. From the well appointed rooms to the friendly and very accommodating staff - our experience was just excellent.. This hotel also has 2 pools and a private beach. Not to mention the food was excellent... more

Our family spent 5 days over Thanksgiving just as the resort was opening. I was impressed by how friendly everyone was and working hard to get the hotel open and running. They were very accommodating with our toddler. The pools are beautiful- especially the beach side pool with it's amazing view. There were monkeys everywhere (and we saw a few... more

We are huge fans of Finca Rosa Blanca in Heredia, and were looking forward to staying at their new place in Manuel Antonio. The picture on their website, and above the reviews on this page in Tripadvisor looked like the kind of place we would like to stay. That picture is very misleading, because that veranda doesn't exist. All rooms... more

Arenas Del Mar is a beautiful hotel in general, however, this is our 3rd night here and we've not gone a single night without bugs in our room, little flea like insects repeatedly bite my wife and I while we try and relax in our non-spacious "Ocean view superior room". Did I mention the flying roach I killed in our... more

This hotel is located directly on the beach. Or at least part of it. Upon arrival, you pull into this odd structure. Once you understand this is the parking/reception area, it makes sense. You park near this structure then a golf cart takes you up to the hotel. Quite a ways. For travelers that like to walk out of their... more

We had paid though a travel agent for 3 nights here @ $250/night. After the first night, we checked out (w/ no refund) and downgraded to a place we were much happier - it was worth paying the extra to get out of there. Here's what we did not like: 1) the hotel is SO remote, you have to take... more

Out of the four hotels we stayed in on this trip... this had to be the one least impressive. After arriving we were greeted with a cool mint drink and enjoyed the first ride up the hill in a golf cart. However, that ride soon became old being the only transport up and down the steep hotel road. First inspection... more

Actually, getting to this resort is half the fun. Leaving a busy street onto a sloping, winding drive finally leads you thru gates onto a "living room outdoors" into which you are encouraged to drive while receiving a greeting. Then the bellman scramble loading your luggage onto a golf cart which will climb up another steep slope through the jungle... more

We stayed here for 5 nights in June. Saw monkeys by the ocean pool very day, large iguanas and lizards, and sloths. We stayed in Ocean View Suite in the 200 building and used the balcony jacuzzi. Buildings 100 and 200 are very close to the beach, but you need to take the golf cart up to the restaurant. We... more
