<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/arenal-kioro-suites-and-spa/">Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa </a></strong><br>Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa takes full advantage of its natural setting: The rooms, restaurants, and pool all offer stunning views of Arenal Volcano.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/arenas-del-mar-beach-and-nature-resort/">Arenas Del Mar Beach And Nature Resort </a></strong><br>The Arenas Del Mar Beach and Nature Resort's most impressive feature just might be its access to two beautiful, white-sand beaches. Arenas del Mar has the best beach access in Manuel Antonio: It's under a five-minute golf cart ride to the sand.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/si-como-no-resort-spa-and-wildlife-refuge/">Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge </a></strong><br>Si Como No Resort and Spa features a wildlife refuge across the street, which highlights a crocodile-alligator habitat and a butterfly habitat.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/royal-corin-resort-and-loto-spa/">Royal Corin Resort & Loto Spa </a></strong><br>The beautiful pools with natural thermal waters, stunning volcano views from rooms, pools, and bar make Royal Corin the place to be in La Fortuna/Arenal, Costa Rica.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/gaia-hotel-and-reserve/">Gaia Hotel And Reserve </a></strong><br>The luxurious and well-designed pools at the Gaia Hotel and Reserve are tucked into the hillside of a 14-acre nature reserve, so magnificent views are surely familiar here.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/gaia-hotel-and-reserve/">Gaia Hotel And Reserve </a></strong><br>Guests will feel truly pampered at the exclusive and private Gaia Hotel and Reserve. The pool and hotel alike allow no kids, so peace and quiet is never a problem.

<strong><a href="http://images.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/si-como-no-resort-spa-and-wildlife-refuge/photos/amenities--v770209-576.jpg/">Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge </a></strong><br>A staple in the beautiful Manuel Antonio resort area, Si Como No is carefully built into a lush hillside, which means great views and winding paths surrounded by colorful flowers and wildlife.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/costa-rica-marriott-hotel/">Costa Rica Marriott Hotel </a></strong><br>The Spanish-style property has lovely landscaping that will make you swear you're standing in a piazza in Western Europe.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/buena-vista-luxury-villas/">Buena Vista Luxury Villas </a></strong><br>There's a lot to like about Buena Vista Luxury villas: The beautiful, sprawling 33-acre grounds, a great on-site beach and beach bar, and big rooms.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/arenal-kioro-suites-and-spa/">Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa </a></strong><br>If views are what you're after, the Arenal Kioro is tough to top. The hotel's developers used a laser to align each room with the volcano, so there's not a bad view in the house.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/hotel-la-mariposa/">Hotel La Mariposa </a></strong><br>When you arrive at La Mariposa, it's hard to imagine the breathtaking beauty that awaits you beyond the front desk.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/buena-vista-luxury-villas/">Buena Vista Luxury Villas </a></strong><br>Buena Vista Luxury Villas' killer combo of stunning, panoramic views and a solid beach is rare in Manuel Antonio, where few hotels have on-site beach access.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/arenas-del-mar-beach-and-nature-resort/">Arenas Del Mar Beach And Nature Resort </a></strong><br>Arenas Del Mar Beach And Nature Resort's lush rainforest, two beautiful white-sand

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/hotel-la-mariposa/">La Mariposa </a></strong><br>Perched high above the Pacific Ocean, the highlight of the 60-room La Mariposa is the breathtaking coastal views from the restaurant, pool deck, and guest rooms.

<strong><a href="http://www.oyster.com/costa-rica/hotels/arenal-kioro-suites-and-spa/">Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa </a></strong><br>The Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa makes the most of not only the views, but the entire natural setting. Part of the lobby is open-air, overlooking green hills; there's an outdoor area off of the restaurant; and every room has not one, but two terraces. On the grounds, stone paths wind through lush landscaping, and waterfalls connect seven small pools filled with natural thermal waters.
