Resort at a Glance: Ocotal Beach Resort & Hotel

Playa del Coco, situated along Papagayo Gulf on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, has become a popular 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 & Hotel is situated a few minutes to the southwest of this spot on Playa Ocotal. It boasts a secluded setting and easy access to the ocean.

  • Explore the sea via the onsite PADI-certified school, which offers diving excursions to nearby islands. You might see bull sharks and giant mantas along the way.
  • Room with a view: Private terraces and balconies provide a great spot to admire Playa Ocotal—a stretch of chocolate-colored sand framed by volcanic bluffs.
  • Catch of the day: Take a fishing trip to snag marlin, mahi-mahi, and roosterfish, named for their flashy dorsal fins.
  • Take a dip in one of the resort's pools, which include a lagoon-style infinity pool that seems to meld with the horizon.

Guanacaste, Costa Rica: Forested Mountains and Legendary Surfing Beaches

The province of Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica takes its name from the Guanacaste tree, an umbrella-shaped species also known, less picturesquely, as the earpod tree. These trees blanket the slopes of the Guanacaste and Tilaran Mountains, helping to shelter the coastline from rainstorms and keep the beaches warm and dry.

Stick to the shore of bustling Playas del Coco and you'll find plenty of waterfront activities as well as lively nightlife. But it's worth heading farther afield to take in some of the province's national parks. Starting in October, Marino las Baulas National Park serves as a major nesting ground for leatherback turtles. And in the north, Santa Rosa National Park is known for its legendary surf breaks, including one featured in the documentary The Endless Summer II.
