Perfect location. You will never meet nicer people than the staff at Villa del Sueño. I can't say enough how hospitable and genuine they are. Food might just be the best in the area...

The place is beautiful, with incredible views of the mountains, total tranquility. Even though it's the rainy season, it's wonderful to enjoy the forest from above, the little birds, the mist over the trees. The staff is amazing, kind, attentive, super friendly, and eager to make sure you have an unforgettable experience. The food at Taru restaurant is marvelous, the wine cellar has an amazing wine selection, and the sommelier takes the time to show you all the options you have. The room had a work area, which was perfect since I had a couple of meetings. The internet never failed. The coffee in the room was perfect, making you feel so comfortable that you don't have to leave. The entire place is designed for you to enjoy, relax, and be worry-free. They pick you up and bring you back from your private suite to the restaurant, pool, or just because...... They genuinely care about you so that, as a guest, you don’t have to worry about anything except relaxing and having a great time.

I really loved the environment. As soon as we pulled up to property I appreciated its bohemian boutique style, with friendly staff, comfortable pool area and chairs and delicious food. I really loved our family room as well. The option to turn the sofa bed and swap it out for a second single bed was a nice option that was offered. Also the ability to call us a local taxi was so nice. Loved communicating via WhatsApp.

Beautiful spot right on the beach with an open air restaurant and bar. Grounds were lush. Beach had very few people each day. The staff were incredibly friendly. Johnathan was so kind to our children at dinner and encouraged them to speak Spanish. Alexis greeted us every morning at breakfast and shared about their culture. Roy arranged some great tours for us. Jairo was the most kind and attentive person.

Tamarindo was a wonderful destination to explore as a solo traveler. My favorite memories were watching the spectacular sunsets at Tamarindo Beach, taking a catamaran tour with a stop at Playa Carbon, and joining the estuary tour through Las Baulas National Park, where I saw monkeys, crocodiles, and a variety of birds. I also loved spending Saturday morning at the TAMA Artisan Market, wandering from stall to stall, sampling local products, and chatting with the vendors. I found myself returning to Kukula (at Plaza El Estero) several times because of its delicious, traditional Costa Rican food, good quality, gluten free options, and excellent value for the price. Getting around Tamarindo was easy on foot, and I would wholeheartedly recommend the local tours, the beach sunsets, and the artisan market to anyone traveling on their own. If you enjoy a slower-paced trip centered around nature, local culture, good food, and beautiful sunsets, Tamarindo has a lot to offer.

Playas del Coco was a really easy and enjoyable place to spend time in Costa Rica. It has a relaxed beach-town feel, with plenty of restaurants, bars, cafés and shops within walking distance, so it is very convenient as a traveller. I liked that it felt social and lively without being too overwhelming, and it was a good base for meeting other travellers, eating well and exploring the area. The beach itself is more of a relaxed walking/sunset beach than a serious surf beach, so surfers may want to travel elsewhere for better waves. But for food, drinks, atmosphere, convenience and a fun traveller-friendly base, Coco is definitely worth visiting.

Safe-feeling, family-friendly vibe in this town!

Safe-feeling, family-friendly vibe in this town! I think the locals encourage tourism, as they go out of their way to be friendly. We regularly left our belongings on the beach and never had any trouble. There are tons of American- and European-influenced restaurants and prices reflected American prices (though, portions were huge!) The beach itself is perfect for families - shade trees, soft sand, long flat beach, predictable two foot waves and zero rip tide. So safe, so fun! Surfing, kayaking, and horseback riding all available straight from the beach. Great lil town!

Not a whole lot to do in Liberia the town.

Not a whole lot to do in Liberia the town. The city center is worth visiting for the cathedral and the Gunacaste museum. Sodas (local restaurants order the plata del Dia with a drink) are almost half what they cost in tourist areas and you you visit one over McDonald's or the other American fast food options. (3,250 in Liberia, 6,000+ in Tamarindo). Ponderosa Adventure Park was fun. Ubers are very reasonable $10-15 each way to Ponderosa or the airport. Hotel Villa Hermosa was the perfect place to stay. Amazingly friendly and a good breakfast.

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.
