Arenas Del Mar: Culinary Experience

Arenas Del Mar features two gourmet restaurants famous for their use of seasonal ingredients and local foods featuring Costa Rican Cuisine with an international flavor.

El Mirador Restuarant & Bar

El Mirador Restaurant hangs over Espadilla Beach with its white sand beaches and the sparkling Pacific Ocean and overlooks the spectacular Manuel Antonio National Park. Gorgeous sunsets can be enjoyed along with fantastic fresh lobster, squid, sea bass, and other delicacies at this authentic full-service Costa Rican fusion restaurant.

The bar menu includes a great variety of natural and Costa Rican style drinks such as horchata made with rice, milk, cinnamon and peanuts or a refreshing agua de sapo that combines the flavors of lime, ginger and cane syrup. And nothing satisfies your thirst better than our guaro mojito prepared with aguardiente, typical Costa Rican liquor made with sugarcane.

Aside from the extensive New World wine selection from Argentina and Chile you also can enjoy the sunset sipping a delicious espresso or cappuccino made with the best organic shade grown coffee from Finca Rosa Blanca in Santa Barbara, Heredia. The bartenders will be waiting to serve you with their characteristic Tico enthusiasm.

Playitas Restaurant

Situated next to Arenas Del Mar’s secluded white sand Playitas beach, guests can choose their favorite drink or cocktail of the day and enjoy the sound of the waves and the sea breezes. We offer light but elegant foods just steps away from one of the world’s most spectacular beaches, surrounded by rain forests with white faced monkeys chattering, Howler monkeys bellowing and above, and sloths lazing in the trees.

Private Romantic Dinner

At Arenas Del Mar we enjoy helping honeymoon couples create unforgettable experiences, reason why we would also like to offer you our In-Room Dinner, a romantic option that could definitely be one of the highlights of your stay with us.
