My children and I spent 5 wonderful days in la Quebrada Ecolodge- the "beach huts" were perfectly equipped and decorated with such attention to detail and love, the beds were comfortable, the clear and warm water in the swimming pool so appeasing- it really felt like paradise, luxurious and homely at the same time. It is ideally located, 5-10 mins walk from the beach and from the centre with sodas and eateries serving delicious food. It is also 10-15 mins drive to Las Catalinas and other fabulous beaches on the coast. A big thank you to Carmen and Christian who surpassed all our expectations. They treated us with such care and generosity, arranged an amazing horseriding tour on the beach with Eddy and made themselves available to help us discover the beauty of this part of the country. We truly thank you for this unforgettable experience. Gina, Emma-Lu and Sebastiano xxx

Beautiful little oasis tucked away from the main area of town but an easy walk to the beach, shops and restaurants.JP is such a nice man and a fabulous host. Clean, beautifully done rooms and a lovely common area around the pool. We saw a family of monkeys beside us in the trees on our last afternoon.

Amazing stay nestled right in busy Liberia. As much as we were right in the main area the inside of the hotel was quiet - it was a mini oasis with huge pool, lots of sun and greens around. The staff was friendly and to the point. Free breakfast was a huge plus. And if you wanted dinner you could walk across the street and there were several nice stores to eat and a grocery store for other needs. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean.

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

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!

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.

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.

The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing. Both the volcano and the lake offer many chances for impressive photographs. The town has the necessities that a visitor might need. Restaurants serve good food at good prices.
