My husband and I just returned from a fabulous 6 night stay at Arenas del Mar to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. I read the reviews on Trip Advisor and did not experience anything similar to any of the previous negative reviews. One of the main reasons for booking this resort was the fact that it has direct beach... more

This was our first trip to Costa Rica, for our honeymoon, and we were at Arenas del Mar for 6 nights. Arenas del Mar is a very unique property. It is situated in the jungle, but with direct beach access. You can get whatever you want here from a relaxing afternoon by the pool with food/drink service, to an adventure... more

Arenas del Mar is the best place I have ever been and was the trip of a lifetime!! It is perfectly nestled in a gorgeous and lush rainforest, with awe-inspiring scenery of the coast and easy beach access. The resort decor is absolutely beautiful.The staff are positively phenomenal, super-friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. The food at both restaurants was amazing.... more

We were very disappointed with our stay, it started off terrible, with the transfer of our luggage we noticed our camera didnt make it to the room. As we investigated we did not get any cooperation from the hotel. Unfortunately it was our last destination and we had spent 2 weeks traveling around getting to know the country, and all... more

My husband and I just returned from 5 nights at Arenas Del Mar and our expectations were far exceeded! From the moment we got there to the moment we left we were surrounded by beautiful views, spectacular grounds and the happiest staff I have ever encountered! Our room (ocean breeze suite - 403A) was exactly as described and the deck... more

This place is more than I expected. At first sight you think, wow... I am in a jungle. You couldn't be more right. This is luxurious camping ladies & gentleman. You are in the jungle surrounded by monkeys, sloths & reptiles, yet your accommodations are luxury all the way. It's amazing! This is coming from a girl. If you don't... more

We spent 6 nights at Arenas del Mar as part of our honeymoon. It could not have been more perfect! Not only was our room spotless and the height of luxury (eg 2 bathrooms!) but the service was impeccable. The staff here (without exception) bend over backwards to make your stay hassle free, comfortable and memorable. The hotel is built... more

This could be a better hotel. Great location with direct beach access BUT...not for people with mobility problems. Located on long, steep hill above beach and 2/3 of the rooms have full flights of stairs to access. Yes, they are good about golf carts to help you around, but there is still lots of stairs, hills, and walking. Great beach... more

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay at Arenas del Mar. We appreciate your feedback and realize that this is the only way we can get better. We just wanted to comment on the situation of the waves at the beach. Yes, the waves at the beach were big in May, but there are other months where this...

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in May '09, and absolutely loved it! The rooms were beautiful, large, and had great views of both the beach and the jungle (we had an Ocean Breeze Suite, which had a jacuzzi on the balcony). The staff could not have been more helpful or more friendly, and the food was... more

What a wonderful place to stay if you want to try to have a little bit of all Costa Rica offers. You get the jungle and monkey, sloths, iguanas, many birds, etc, the ocean and just pure tranquility. The resort makes every effort to be eco friendly and they are doing a very good job of it. The layout is... more
