Tropical Bayside Resort with Onsite Diving and Fishing
Playa del Coco, situated along Papagayo Gulf on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, has become a popular weekend destination for sportfishing and scuba diving. Both tourists and ticos—local Costa Ricans—head to the dive shops lining the beach during the day; at night they return to shore for calypso and disco dancing.
Ocotal Beach Resort is situated a few minutes to the southwest of this spot at Playa Ocotal—a stretch of chocolate-colored sand framed by volcanic bluffs. It has a more secluded setting and easy access to the ocean. The resort also boasts its own PADI-certified dive school and deep-sea fishing charters—just two of the reasons why Frommer's called Ocotal "the most luxurious and complete resort hotel in the Playa del Coco area."
Out on the water, diving excursions, which are 25% off for Groupon customers, take you to nearby islands in search of bull sharks and giant manta rays. On the year-round fishing trips, you have a chance to hook 40- to 100-pound catches, including marlin, mahi-mahi, and roosterfish, named for its flashy dorsal fin. Or you can simply lounge by one of the resort's pools, which include a lagoon-style infinity pool that seems to meld with the horizon.
Guanacaste, Costa Rica: National Parks Flanked by Forested Volcanoes
Guanacaste, which forms the northwestern province of Costa Rica, takes its name from the guanacaste tree, an umbrella-shaped plant also known by a less appealing name—the earpod tree. These trees blanket the slopes of the Guanacaste and Tilaran Mountains, and they help shelter the coastline from rainstorms, keeping the beaches fairly warm and dry even during the rainy season (May through mid-November).
It's only a short drive if you want to experience the bustling nightlife at Playa del Coco, but it's worth heading farther afield to take in some of the surrounding national parks. Half an hour south, Marino las Baulas National Park serves as a major nesting ground for leatherback turtles starting in October. To the north, Santa Rosa National Park is known for its legendary surf breaks, including one made famous by the documentary Endless Summer II.
