Arenas del Mar

Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Kids

Children of all ages will love it here. There is a separate pool close to the beach for children to swim in safely (sea swimming carries an occasional risk of rip tides). A snack bar by the beach will take care of lunch. Manuel Antonio National Park is magical for children, and it's one of the country’s most accessible. Plus the walks in the hotel grounds with Eduardo, the hotel’s guide, are fascinating.

Children under 6 years of age share parents' room for free, including breakfast. Children 6 years and older will be charged the full rate for room and meals.

  • Children's meals: The restaurant is wonderfully accommodating if you have dietary requirements, and there are options for children.
Save to favouritesPrintMailArenas del MarIt’s as if, where the jungle meets the sea, you discover a folly created by some eccentric explorer rising from midst of the trees: tall columns and curving stairways entwined with lianas and creepers, lights glowing mysteriously through glass bricks. The reception area is a soaring wooden palanque lined with woven palms, crimson walls, elegant armchairs and a circular bar. An organic swimming pool forms a natural oasis; the airy restaurant’s windows make paintings of the rainforest beyond. Yet just 5 minutes away is Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica’s most visited. Go with resident naturalist Eduardo and you’ll gain fascinating insights into the wildlife, then return to Arenas del Mar’s own beautiful stretch of secluded beach: just the waves, birdsong and silence. Elegant, sophisticated interiors are filled with original paintings; the [eating:CO012:food] is exquisite; a spa offers superb massages and organic treatments; and many of the rooms have ocean views from the beds or balcony hot tubs. And yet it’s all rigorously sustainable. A unique find.
