We stayed at this hotel for three days and overall had a truly great experience. Our arrival was a bit rough at first, but what really stood out was how the staff handled everything afterward. From that moment on, the entire team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone was incredibly friendly, open, and genuinely caring. A special mention goes to Krishne, who took exceptional care of us. His level of attention and hospitality was outstanding and made a real difference in our stay. He even gave me his own perfume after I asked about it, such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. All in all, a very positive experience, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

The location couldn't be better for seeing Manuel Antonio Park, and the setting is wonderful. Golf carts are always available to drive guests to their room or to the restaurant. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Our room was spacious and well maintained: clean, clean, clean.

We had a day pass to the beach at this beautiful hotel. The service was five star, as well as the property and drinks.

We had a terrific experience at Arenas Del Mar! Service was top notch, from the moment we booked. We stayed in a fabulous Ocean View Premium Suite close to the beach - very spacious, well appointed and immaculately clean. The private jacuzzi on our large balcony with a million dollar view was a real treat. All the hospitality staff was very attentive and kind - and fast. Our unit was near the bottom of the hill, so we often took advantage of the golf-cart shuttle service to the top. By the time we hung up the phone, grabbed our bags and walked out the door, a driver was already waiting for us - every single time. Food was outstanding, from the delicious a-la-carte breakfasts to the delectable dinners at Mirador. Special shout out to our wonderful servers Christian and Karen who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We highly recommend reservations for the Costa Rican Food Night at the Playalitas Beachfront Restaurant - a fantastic BBQ feast not to be missed!

I spoke to the receptionist and she gave me the wrong directions. There is a back road to the hotel that is dirt, rocky, and suicidally steep. My Mary almost expired on the spot.
