Arenas del Mar offers breathtaking views and top-notch service that truly enhance the experience. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, can feel a bit outdated and small. The dining options are delicious but might be on the pricier side. The hotel also boasts a beautiful location close to the beach and nature, making it a memorable spot for relaxation and adventure.

My stay at the resort was nothing short of magical! Nestled in a stunning rainforest with breathtaking ocean views, the experience was enhanced by the genuinely accommodating staff who made us feel special every moment. The activities offered were enriching but the dining experience stood out, with fresh local dishes that kept us coming back for more. However, the steep hill can be a challenge for some, though golf carts are readily available. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, perfect for nature and adventure lovers.

Our stay at this resort was truly unforgettable! The service was exceptional, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The beautiful rooms offered breathtaking ocean views and were impeccably clean. The dining area faced the sea, providing the perfect backdrop for meals.

I had an outstanding experience at this hotel! The scenery was breathtaking, and I was thrilled to see wildlife like humpback whales and monkeys right from my room. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, and the food was delightful. However, I did notice that meal service could be a bit slow at times. Overall, I highly recommend this charming resort for its beautiful views, warm hospitality, and great dining, even if a little patience is required during meals.
