Arenas del Mar is an absolutely stunning resort that provides an unforgettable experience. The hospitality is truly top-notch, and the surroundings are breathtaking. My family and I loved the spacious and comfortable rooms and the dedicated golf cart service made getting around a breeze. While everything was outstanding, the only downside was that the resort can be a bit hilly, which might not suit everyone. Overall, it was great value for money with luxurious amenities and exceptional service.

Our stay at Arenas del Mar was truly unforgettable, thanks to the stunning views and exceptional staff who went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. The location is perfect, with both a private cove and access to a public beach nearby. While the rooms may feel a bit dated, they were clean and comfortable. Dining was great, but the prices were on the higher side, which is typical for a hotel. The pools were lovely but could be a tad small for the number of guests during peak times.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the breathtaking views and the wildlife around. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, but I found the dining options to be just average. The service was exceptional, making my experience more enjoyable, and the location was perfect for a beach getaway. However, the ongoing construction during my stay was quite disruptive and I had difficulties with nighttime disturbances from local raccoons.

While the location of the hotel is fantastic and offers beautiful views along with access to a private beach, I found the experience lacking, especially given the high price we paid. The rooms felt dated and were not up to the standard I expected, and while some staff were attentive, the overall service was inconsistent. Dining was quite expensive for what was offered, and I felt that the amenities did not live up to the five-star rating.

We had an incredible stay at Arenas Del Mar, nestled in a stunning rainforest with breathtaking ocean views. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. We enjoyed daily activities and the surf lessons were a highlight! While the food was good, there were a few items that could use some improvement. The room had a lovely view, but lighting options could have been better. Overall, it was a relaxing experience, and we would definitely return!

While the hotel boasts a prime location and offers beautiful animal sightings, it falls short of being a luxurious stay given the outdated rooms and inconsistent service. We experienced some fantastic staff interactions, but overall, the high price didn't match the quality provided. Our culinary experiences were lackluster considering the premium prices, leaving us feeling somewhat let down for the occasion we were celebrating.
