This was the BEST experience on a vacation I've ever had! Being a mother, there are those very few kidless vacations that you get to go on and truly get to have a peaceful & beautiful break...and Las Arenas was just that! Everything was magnificent!!
First, was the BEAUTIFUL home and grounds. Every room is decorated with such detail and you feel completely comfortable, like you're in your own home. Who wouldn't love your own pool, with amazing views, yet endless peace?!! To wake each morning and enjoy a run along the beach, then sip a coffee peacefully poolside before breakfast is served to you...a true delight! The day provided just the right amounts of sun/shade to each person's liking. Evenings were filled with the most breathtaking sunsets from the second floor patio, outlooking the pool deck lined of palms and beach in the distance. I couldn't stop taking pictures, as I wanted to remember each and every sight...pure perfection.
Secondly, there is a tremendously hardworking, joyous and loving staff to greet you when you arrive & throughout your stay. Paola has such a vivacious personality, you cannot help but to fall in love with her & her smile. She managed everything from arranging transportation, to giving ideas of things to do around the area & everything in-between. Dorka, is the chef...her meals were DELICIOUS!! Each day we were served the best breakfast, lunch and dinners. Each with their own delight (served on the patio, by the pool deck or formal dining upstairs), but always so tasteful and made with love. Pichi, helped us with any of our needs on the property & served us our meals or drinks. If we needed a floaty for the pool, a drink to enjoy poolside or even something as silly as mustard, he was there with a friendly smile. He would also delight us with a late-day, poolside Happy Hour before our dinner with a wonderful spread and the best drinks!! To not to be forgotten was the rest of the staff (forgive me for not knowing all their names) whom cleaned up for us each morning, day & night. They made that home sparkle, and who doesn't like coming into a fresh made bed & laundered clothes each day?!! This truly made my experience a vacation...to not have to go home with laundry. WIN!
Lastly, I'd come here every year! Not one bad thing to say. I recommend to friends and family all the time, and that is the test of a truly amazing place...a glowing recommendation!! Las Arenas, I will awe in your glory until I get to enjoy you again...BRAVO!
