A beautiful location between two lovely beaches. One beach is long flat and leads to Manuel Antonio park. Hotel has a guard towels and chairs there. The other beach is more private, with trees overflowing the beach, a small hotel restaurant and all facilities. We had an ocean view suite, with a large bathroom with shower, and separate bedroom and... More

My husband and I stayed here last January and of all the hotels we stayed in, this was definitely the best! Our suite had a wrap-around balcony with a built-in jacuzzi, which overlooked the trees, filled with monkeys, and a gorgeous view of the ocean! We never wanted to leave! The walk-in shower had high windows where you could look... More

We stayed at Arenas del Mar for lack of another option; a last minute trip required us to wait for a cancellation at a hotel and we were lucky to have ended up here...even at over $500 a night!!! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, fun walking trails, resident sloth, walking distance to Manual Antonio beaches AND the most incredible spa services!... More

Just finished staying a week in costa rica and stayed at four different hotels, all 'five star' and this was our favorite. Service impeccable. Beautiful view. Great beach. Can do attitude. Asked for Brady to go one morning so could go to national park-no problem. Also went to sister hotel harmony hotel in nosara, also very good More

This is not a resort for those who want lots of activity without leaving the property however, it is perfect for relaxing. We loved almost everything about our stay. The service was top notch from check in to check out. Servers often would be seen at dinner one night then down at the beach bar the next day for lunch.... More

This is a beautiful beachfront property with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The staff were very engaging with our six year-old daughter. The view of the ocean from our room was stupendous (we got an ocean view room with a jacuzzi on the terrace)! There is a lot of wildlife on the property, including sloths, monkeys, iguanas, snakes, and different... More

I always try and add new information when writing my reviews. Everything that guests have raved about in previous reviews is 100% true and then some. I started a list of names of the staff that i felt were superb but quickly realised that my list was including everyone that worked there. My husband and I stayed for 7 nights... More

We stayed at this resort with friends in March 2011. The resort was great. Amazing landscapes, iguanas all over the place, valet room service by golf cart. Great beach spot complete with bar service and a great beach restaurant. We saw monkeys on the property as well as a two-toed sloth and many halloween crabs (whose babies visited us in... More
