Arenas Del Mar

Arenas Del Mar located in Manuel Antonio offers not only beach and ocean activities, but a great combination of restaurants, night life, nature, and unspoilt rainforest. The 38 spacious suites (all with their own bubbling jacuzzi) feature spectacular views of the Manuel Antonio National Park, the Pacific Ocean and the tropical rainforest.

Arenas del Mar is a ‘resort’, but it is one that offers the traveller something over and above what one might expect from a resort. It is rather a luxurious lodging experience in harmony with nature in a spectacular beach and rainforest setting. Guest rooms, apartments and suites offer spectacular ocean views, upscale dining in two hotel restaurants with a focus on fresh local products and personalized service that exceeds guest expectations.

The Arenas Del Mar is set in 11 acres of nature with private trails which includes a hanging bridge and access to two beautiful sand beaches. Other amenities such as high speed internet access, world class cuisine as well as exceptional personalized service are what make this hotel special.

While Arenas del Mar just opened recently, its very foundations and construction are rooted in the concept of sustainable tourism. With a focus on native plants (the entire property consists of plants native to Costa Rica), recycled materials (roof tiles are made from recycled plastic from the banana industry), solar panels, recycling and waste management, as well as community and guest interaction, Arenas del Mar truly stands out as a shining example of how sustainability can be applied at all levels of operation.

This is a great place to stay for a few days.

Arenas del Mar sets out to minimize the impact on the surrounding nature, while maximizing the positive economic impact on the local community through employment – and all told it does this very well.
