The best available Resorts to stay near Quepos

May 13, 2023 Leonardo Torrence

Quepos, a small town in Puntarenas province, is located on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast and is undoubtedly one of the best places in the world for big game sport fishing. However, Quepos also offers vacationers a wealth of other activities to do as well. The nearby plaza has many fine restaurants, art galleries and souvenir shops, most within a short walking distance of your beachfront vacation rental. Book an exhilarating canopy tour, go horseback riding, kayaking and rafting. Learn to surf or watch the surfers ride the waves; you’ll wonder at their athleticism.

This was the most amazing trip we have ever taken as a family...part of it was the incredible beauty of Costs Rica + its people and the other part was due to our time at Tulemar. We came with our kids, son (14) and daughter (11), it was their first time. My husband and I had been to La Fortuna before, but it was our first time in Manuel Antonio....and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We balanced our time between a few excursions and a few days of relaxation at Tulemar. We worked with Alex, our concierge, prior to arriving in order o get things planned out and booked. He was extremely helpful and friendly, it was great to have him on hand as a resource. We arrived on a Saturday and the "boys" went fishing Sunday on the offshore, 3/4 day tour. They slayed wahoo and mahi...we had more fish than we could handle. But, not to worry, we had a private chef come Monday night and they used some of it and TuleCafe used some and cooked it for us as well. Tuesday we went on the full day waterfall tour with Waterfalls Heaven (Pawel was our guide - AMAZING!). This was the highlight of our trip, we did a private tour where we jumped off cliffs, over waterfalls and swam in the middle of the rainforest. It was a perfect day, filled with adrenaline and memories we will never forget. Wednesday we relaxed at the resort and private beach. We took in some wildlife and that night we took a Nigh Jungle Tour. It was not nearly as good as we expected, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Thursday was our day for zip lining...we went with El Santuario Canopy Adventure and they did a fantastic job. There were 10 lines and one was almost a mile long! We all enjoyed the thrill of zipping through the treetops of the Costa Rican rainforest. Finally, Friday was a relax day, we were able to get our COVID tests in our casa, which were needed for a return to the US. The trip went amazingly, absolutely perfect...everything from the weather to the tour guides and of course, the staff at Tulemar (Alex, the drivers: Harry + David and the private chef: Marlon). Thanks to all and we will definitely be back again!!!!

Amazing!!!!!

Reviewed By pateldesai

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a fantastic time ever!! The service and food was amazing! Our room was nicely cleaned all the time. The staff was super pleasant and helpful. We saw tons of wild life just from our balcony, pool and all over the resort. Tons of monkeys and sloths. Lots of birds. The pools were great too. Sharing some videos. The night before we left there was huge storm that rolled in and we lost power in our building. The staff was there in less than half hour asking if we wanted to change room to another building with power so we did. It was great! Like I said, no regrets! Enjoy your stay if you are staying here.

Very comfortable hotel

Reviewed By Beach_hut_13

Attractive comfortable rooms with wonderful views out to sea. Lots of lovely plants round all the rooms. 2 Nice swim up bars, very friendly knowledgeable staff. Sadly the food let it down….. very easy to get anywhere as the bus stops right outside hotel going in either direction every 15mins so very efficient. Good national park nearby and wonderful ocean. Very good boat trip organised by hotel.

BEST place on EARTH!

Reviewed By CandaceB1218

My family and I just returned from the most AMAZING vacation ever!! We had never been to Costa Rica so we didn't really know what to expect. We frequent the Bahamas and Florida Keys, but Arenas Del Mar is unbelievable! There was 11 people total in our group. When we arrived at the San Jose airport, a Mercedes Van was waiting to transport us to the hotel. We walked into the open air lobby and were immediately handed welcome drinks - the rooms are spotless and set up great for families. There is so much attention to detail at this resort that it is mind-blowing! The beaches, walking paths and entire property is paradise! I felt as if I was living in a fantasy world- we saw toucans, sloths, monkeys and many other animals every day. One of the things that makes this resort "the best" is the staff! We felt like family when the week was over. They have so much knowledge about the area that it was fun to be able to just talk with them and learn the Costa Rica way of life. Nelson, Karla, Alexandra, Brian all waited on us during our trip. You can tell they love their job and they will do anything to accommodate whatever you need. Anytime we needed to book an adventure or excursion, Nadia and the people at the front desk were awesome. They made everything so simple. The lifeguard played soccer and volleyball with the kids on the beach. Miguel (the chef) cooked Tuna that we caught and it was soooo delicious. All the fruit, juices, every meal we ate was so fresh and so many options for people with certain dietary needs as well. Farland was one of the golf cart drivers and he learned all 11 of our names by the 2nd day! There is so many activities offered on the property as well- they have yoga, surfing, volleyball, bingo, tortilla making, movie night, dinners on the beach with live music. I can honestly say that I can't think of one negative thing I could say about Arenas Del Mar. My family and I hope to visit every year going forward. BEST Vacay ever :)

Nice hotel, great staff great views

Reviewed By Psynaut

I enjoyed this hotel a lot. The view from my hotel was excellent. The staff is really great at this hotel and they helped accommodate me on several occasions where they really went above and beyond. The location is nice, off the main road just enough to be secluded, but close to restaurants and the beach. I would stay there again for sure.

We were able to do and see so much of the area with their help. We had an amazing trip and we owe a lot of that to the hotel’s expertise.

The upgraded rooms are so awesome. The room is in its own building. You are surrounded by the rainforest, beautiful birds and lovely monkeys yet few steps away from nice restaurants, shops, live music and the main road where the bus stops. Imagining Rocking on the private back patio, listen to the rainforest, visited by monkeys or frogs. Your next door Neighbour is in a complete different building. We didn’t mind the stairs that’s connecting different parts of the resort. It was built by the shape of the land ! It is unique to the area and beautifully maintained! We loved Alex the receptionist. We loved the beaches! All together made our trip so memorable! We love CR!

Reviewed By roughneck784

The check in was simple. Parking to our room was probably 30 steps. Very convenient. I liked that it was a smaller hotel and very few rooms. The pool and patio area had a great view of the bay. I'm a photographer and had my tripod and camera set up our balcony. I captured Fiery billed aracari, chestnut-mandibled toucan, macaw, parakeets, and monkeys all from our balcony. A couple at pretty close range. We always had great service and thought the food was very good. It was a little walk down to the beach but not difficult if you are any kind of shape. The beach that you could access was stunning and very few people when we visited. I would visit again if we were ever in the area. The drive to Manuel Antonio was about 10 minutes.

Hotel is located on the hill (La Colina) near Quepos. Easily accessible parking, delicious free breakfast and the restaurant. Great live music. WiFi access is not the best but it works. Rooms could have better lights and better AC but...what is more important for me is the friendly staff and the views of the area from the top floor. Absolutely gorgeous! Also, hotel is surrounded by the jungle and there is a lot to see...You just need to be prepared to climb to the top floor :) I highly recommend this hotel!
