Warm family owned retreat. Holger, Natalie and their kids are exceptional hosts . We enjoyed the pool, clean rooms and proximity to the town. Off street safe parking. AC in the rooms worked a treat and the rain shower was warm. Hot coffee awaiting in our private outside lounge area every morning and fabulous breakfast available on order. We would definitely stay again !

Soulshine is a gem. The rooms are comfortable with funky decor. The grounds are beautiful, especially the pool area where you can watch many iguanas sunning themselves on the deck. We enjoyed having a shared kitchen and the wifi was the best we've had in CR - very fast and dependable. The beach is a 10-15min walk.

The location above the lake with views changing with the time of the day. Only a few separate studios with terraces facing the laguna. Large wall-to-wall and flloor-to-ceiling windows. Stunning modern design. All of this set on a maticuosly kept property and interestingly modelled terrain, with lawns greener than the English lawn. The welcome from the owner Ana was more than warm! Her breakfasts and dinners super delicious, served on a roofed terrase with THE view. Our thanks go also to Ana’s staff, nice willing ladies. Thanks a lot!

Tamarindo has everything you need. Crazy expensive advice is to buy duty free at the airport. Stop outside of Tamarindo and buy water and snacks because you will pay double inside Tamarindo. We love Dragon fly bar and Grill!

Liberia is a good jumping off spot for the northern half of Costa Rica. It's worth spending a couple of nights there if you stay at Hotel Liberia which is downtown. Although Liberia itself doesn't offer much in the way of tourist attractions, it's a good central spot for some of the nearby parks.

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife.

It is a good place to find a restaurant and nightlife. There are much nicer beaches close by if you are looking to enjoy the water and a nice sunset. Unfortunately the rising costs in Costa Rica are making it less desirable to visit. It is getting run down in many areas and the costs are climbing dramatically.

Great town great beach.

Great town great beach. Good supermarkets and friendly people in general. We met some locals through some friends and we were made to feel at home quite quickly. Nice place. Go to the Burger Window, (Google it) its in an open bar which has a few other eating stalls as well. A great curry shack too. But the burgers at Burger Window really are SUPERB. The service is quite non committal. There are few smiles and you can get put off by that. But listen, the burgers are worth the grief. Also try the crepes both savory and sweet at the little Ahora Si shop and then try the big Ahora Si restaurant further up the street. Both owned by the same family. Both very good choices. Ask for Antonio at the little Ahora Si crepe place

A nice beach town which has most conveniences but is not too big. We had visited in 1988 so the development since then was breathtaking. We visited during the off-season (October) so it was very rainy but had clear periods each day. The advantage to visiting this time of year is hotel prices are generally lower, but many businesses are closed so for example a restaurant you wanted to visit may not be open and I had more difficulty renting a good surfboard than I thought I would. As mentioned before, the rain can be a problem during the off-season but I understand the period from December to April is mostly rain free. I would imagine the town is much more crowded in season which could affect the experience.

We stayed at Hotel Velero right off the beach in Playa Hermosa. It was relatively quiet (in the best way!) compared to the neighboring Playa del Coco. The beach was clean, the sand was soft, and the temperature was great. We saw dolphins and great sea birds from breakfast at Hotel Velero. We also had dinner at Roberto's and La Casita del Marisco. I would highly recommend Playa Hermosa to everyone and would love to return!

Playa Flamingo was one of our favorite stops on our 10-day trip. It's scenic, relaxed, and incredibly fun to explore. Driving along the coast was a highlight in itself, with beautiful ocean views and plenty of little spots to pull over and enjoy. Getting around was super easy with a car or motorcycle, though you do have to watch out for the many potholes and speed bumps. Where we ate: Coco Loco- Incredible food right on the beach, and the piña coladas were honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. Gracia La Vid- Amazing pizzas in a casual, open-air setting. Fun vibe, great for dinner after a day in the sun. Playa Flamingo is perfect for groups of friends looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation. We enjoyed a sunset catamaran tour, horseback riding, ATV tours, and jet ski rentals. All are easy to book and great ways to experience the coast. If you’re looking for beautiful beaches, great food, and plenty of activities, Playa Flamingo is definitely worth a visit.

Potrero happens to be very centric: there are four beaches in a row northwards and dozens to the south, in few kilometers. That makes the town a good operating base. There are a lot of services and is far better organized than Santa Teresa or other beach towns. My preferred beach was Prieta. Also, there are supermarkets around, so you can buy the ingredients and cook by yourself, or visit restaurants. We visited different restaurants and concurred that the ceviche with maracuya sauce was the better (some restaurant in Las Catalinas $$$). Oceana serves good food ($$$$$, size is small, at the Flamingo Marina). Me Gusta (Italian cuisine $$$) had good pizza. El Reparito ($$$, mexican oriented - I loved the place) was tasteful, El Gallo Ronco ($$$) was good, as well. I found MarCosta seafood market well provided they gave nice attention. They also rent a floating deck in the Potrero bay or give boat tours.
