Amarena Canvas Beach Hotel

My husband and I had the most amazing vacation here for his 40th birthday! Truly the coolest and most unique place we’ve ever stayed! The Balinese-styled tented villas are luxurious and one-of-a-kind, fully stocked with every necessity. We stayed in a beachfront villa and my husband was able to surf right in front of our villa. It was so nice and convenient. There is security at the beach entrance and main gate to the community, so we felt very safe. The resort is beautiful, the location was close to everything we wanted to do while there, and the service and hospitality were unmatched! Esteban greeted us the moment we arrived, gave us a private tour of the entire property, and catered to our every need during our trip (dinner reservations, excursions, and even a birthday surprise). The level of service he provided us was beyond incredible and made our trip so special. The housekeeping staff created the sweetest birthday decoration in our room, handmade from flowers and palm leaves. They really went the extra mile. I had a massage in the spa villa while I was there and it was fabulous. We ate breakfast and dinner at Kairos several times. The food was great with some creative dishes that we enjoyed trying. We also enjoyed getting to know Sammy and the others servers while dining. They are wonderful. All of the resort staff is so friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough great things about Amarena. We had the best vacation here and I highly recommend visiting!

Talk about luxury. We were blown away and not prepared for the truly 5-star experience they offer. It’s hard to describe how perfect the villas and overall set up with the beach club is… amazing!

This place was awesome, off the beaten path but well worth the 2hr 40min drive from San Jose airport. Right on the beach!
