Nicoya Peninsula
Arenas del Mar Beach & Nature Resort
Puntarenas, Costa Rica
For those who want a bit of luxury without ecological guilt, the Arenas del Mar Beach and Nature Resort on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica promotes sustainable tourism in a high-quality, esthetic environment. Its main customers — romantic, mature, and family travelers — come as much for the beach, activities, and views of Manual Antonio National Park as they do for the organic soaps and lotions, complementary Wi-Fi, and cable television in the six types of rooms. Solar power heats the water and electric carts carry guests throughout the 12-acre resort.
Room to Book:
Not all the rooms have an ocean view. If that’s important, be sure to ask for an ocean view premium suites or superior room.
Insider Tip:
Because the resort is situated on a cliff, the grounds are quite steep and probably a challenge to anyone with mobility concerns.
