Arenas del Mar Beach and Nature Resort

In Costa Rica, we like to brag about how we live in eternal spring and summer. Temperatures stay around 80 degrees all year round and flowers are constantly in bloom. Breeding takes place all through the year as well, but the most common time is at the beginning of the rainy season (now), because animals are expecting lots of fruits inthe months to come. Arenas del Mar is a place where animals can find peace and respect, and lately, we’ve noticed a few successful nests on the property grounds. Here we follow certain regulations, like the discouragement of feeding animals and the use of electric golf carts, which reduces noise on the property and gives the hotel grounds a comfortable habitat for the animals. Such efforts are not only a large part in the operation of the hotel itself and its guests, but also encourage a deep respect for wildlife among the staff who live and work at Arenas del Mar (www.arenasdelmar.com). While the hotel grounds have only developed only two acres, ten more acres of forest surrounding, lie pristine and untouched. Beyond that, our neightbor property of 150 acres sprawls uncorrupted and teeming with wildlife (we have planned trails throgh this, our hike Quepos Point Tour, is done here). Black Hooded Antshrikes, Yellow Headed Caracaras, Scarlet Rumped Tanagers and many other species of beautiful and exotic birds are
raising their young right here at Arenas del Mar. This proves that we are not just a paradisal vacation spot, but also an appropriated nursery for an abundance of incredible wildlife.
