Arenas del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort, Central Pacific Coast, Costa Rica
Manuel Antonio’s only luxury beachfront resort and a great base from which to explore, nestled in 11 acres of rainforest with extensive hiking trails and two tree-shaded sandy beaches, where sloths relax overhead and iguanas sunbathe in the sand. Rooms and suites come with thoughtful amenities and spacious balconies; upscale dining focuses on fresh, local products; and the entire place is carbon neutral.
