Finding Costa Rica Beach Resorts To Visit

By Jennifer Fisher


Lots of people take what is known as a staycation, where you take time off work and do not travel to go anywhere. While those can be fun, traveling out of the country is even better. Costa Rica beach resorts are a great destination due to the sun, surf and hospitality. There is something for everyone too, no matter how big your family is.

One of the great things about Costa Rica is that it is situated between two large bodies of water, both of which have the clean, blue and green waters you see on postcards. It is situated in such a way as to keep temperatures temperate, so it is never too hot or too cold. So you could travel there, even in summer, without worrying about stifling heat.

There are many resorts and hotels in Costa Rica with all the amenities you could ask for. Though the complete list of amenities will vary from place to place, many have a few of the same stock ones. For example, no resort would be complete without a pool, even if the beach is just a few feet away. In fact, some places have public pools for everyone to enjoy, plus plunge pools, which are smaller pools meant for cooling off, that are private.

Bars where you can drink alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks alike are also widely available in most resorts. Some are located indoors, while others are outdoors. Some have bars poolside and even near the ocean, or at least provide wait staff to bring drinks to you while lounging.

When you are hungry, you will likely have multiple choices regarding where to eat. Many are located on the property and are owned by the resort or hotel. Some may serve food on a buffet so you can eat all you can, while others have traditional sit down service instead.

With the beach likely just steps or a short drive away, it is no wonder why so many activities at these properties center on the water. You may be able to get towel and chair service so you can lounge in peace and soak up the sun. You may also be able to rent a private cabana so you can do all those things in private. Food and beverage service is usually provided as well to give you a further pampering experience.

If you get tired of the beach or just want to try something new, there are plenty of excursions you can take into town to whet your appetite for adventure. Try a sightseeing tour to get a sense of the culture and history, or maybe a culinary tour to eat lots of local foods. You can also see the population of howler monkeys, which is a hit with kids. Even the exotic bird population is a huge attraction.

After your daily activities are done, you may want to return to your room for a nap. Though a basic room with a bed and small balcony may suit you, if you want to go all out, some places offer a full size villa with kitchen and private pool. Whichever you choose, you will make memories that last a lifetime.
