About Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort Member of the Cayuga Collection
Arenas Del Mar sits at Playa Playitas in Manuel Antonio, Quepos, a five-star resort where the shoreline meets the rainforest. Guests have rated it 9.7 across 140 reviews. The beachfront setting comes with a private beach area, sun loungers or beach chairs and sun umbrellas, so a morning on the sand needs no planning. Water sport facilities are on site, and snorkelling is among the activities for guests who want to get into the water.
Wellness is a real part of the stay here. The spa and wellness center offers massage services, and the hammam, an open-air bath and a public bath give you several ways to slow down. Guests who prefer to stay active can join yoga classes, fitness classes or aerobics, or book a personal trainer. The outdoor pool is seasonal, so it is worth asking the team about it when you plan your dates.
Beyond the resort grounds and garden, the setting invites exploring. Hiking, cycling, horse riding and fishing are all part of what the resort offers, along with walking tours and bike tours, and the tour desk can help you shape your days. There is also a tour or class on local culture and a cooking class if you want something more hands-on. Evenings are social: the restaurant and bar are joined by happy hour, themed dinner nights, movie nights, evening entertainment and live sport broadcasts. A snack bar, a minimarket on site and wine or champagne round out the options.
Practical touches make longer stays easy. Free WiFi and free parking are included, there is an electric vehicle charging station, and a 24-hour front desk and concierge service are on hand. Laundry, luggage storage and express check-in/check-out are available, and airport pick up and drop off can be arranged.
