I was referred to this resort by my best friend who had recently visited Costa Rica. I truly cannot say enough about this resort! I did a paper review with the desk prior to checking out, and I plan to do as many reviews online as I possibly can. I typically do not review positive experiences (unfair, I know) but this experience was so beyond just a positive experience that I absolutely had to. From the resort itself, to the staff, to the service, everything was amazing. The place is beautiful, with exquisite views. The rooms are huge and comfy (we had a suite), with gigantic patios (ours had a private jacuzzi which was awesome)! The food is so delicious, I mean absolutely everything we ordered was scrumptious. The service we received from ALL staff members was top notch. From the drivers, to room service, to waitstaff to the front desk, they were all wonderful. Arenas Del Mar also has some pretty awesome amenities. They have a private beach and pools with outstanding views! They offer a tortilla making class free of charge, and its pretty great, lots of fun! They also make booking excursions really easy! If you are considering staying here during your stay in Costa Rica, DO IT!!!!! I promise you will not be disappointed! And for the record, I am not personally affiliated with anyone from Arenas Del Mar, I'm truly just a HIGHLY SATISFIED CUSTOMER. Thanks for an awesome 10 year anniversary Arenas Del Mar! Can't wait to visit again! read more
