Costa Rica beach hotels and resorts in Playas Coco, Flamingo and Tamarindo in Guanacaste on the north Pacific coast are the setting of the newest luxury Costa Rica beach hotels and resorts here. Papagayo in particular is experiencing a boom in luxury resorts and hotels.
This is also the area to go if you want an all-inclusive vacation, as the majority of all-inclusive deals are in Guanacaste. Many of them found on the Gulf of Papagayo, where the Four Seasons Resort opened last year (quickly winning a several awards from travel magazines). Farther south along the Central Pacific coast, you will find more such accommodations, some with king beds, in Manuel Antonio and Jaco.
A beachfront hotel, resort or villa in this tropical paradise will also be close to the exciting nightlife, casinos, bars, nightclubs and restaurants. Bed and breakfasts are another choice
In Manuel Antonio, we like Mango Moon.
Budget cabinas are also scattered around here and there. Tours and other fun things to do are virtually unlimited. Except for Montezuma, on the Nicoya peninsula, the Pacific coast beach town are great for family vacations as well as a honeymoon or for singles.
Luxury accommodations here include Ocotal Resort in Playa Ocotal, near Playas del Coco, Guanacaste.
For those who fall in love with the laid back lifestyle here, choice condos and houses for sale can be found along the shore and in the hills.
You cannot build close to the shore, but beachfront views are part and parcel of most homes and resorts.)

You will find many others along the Atlantic Coast also, especially around Cahuita, close to the border with neighboring Panama and Bocas del Toros.
Cahuita is close to the Panama border, with impressive wildlife preserves in the mountains nearby.
The Atlantic side feels more like a Caribbean island than Central America. You can even find Jerk Chicken, a Jamaican dish, in some of the local restaurants.
The playa of your dreams is waiting in this part of Central America, which is situated between Panama to the south and Nicaragua to the north.
