Arenas del Mar

Frommer's Review

Finally, there's Manuel Antonio that combines the best of all worlds, direct beach access, rainforest setting and surroundings, fabulous views, and luxurious accommodations. Designed and built by the folks behind Finca Rosa Blanca, this place features 7 three-story units, with large, luxurious 1- and 2-bedroom units. Not all have ocean views, so be sure to specify if you want one. The top-floor units of the highest building (no. 7) would be my first choice. Buildings nos. 1, 2, and 3 are closest to the beach. All rooms are very spacious, with tasteful decor, cool yellow tile floors, and plenty of wood and tile accents. Most have outdoor Jacuzzi tubs on their private balconies. The apartments are immense two-bedroom, three-bath affairs with a kitchenette, perfect for families and longer stays. The restaurant, lobby, and main pool are set on the highest point of land here, and several spots have fabulous views of Manuel Antonio's Punta Catedral. The owners are truly concerned about the environment and promoting sustainable tourism. Very little was done to disturb the land or surrounding ecosystems during construction. Free daily yoga classes and loads of relaxing treatments can be enjoyed at the hotel's spa.
