Finding Costa Rica Beach Resorts To Visit

By Jennifer Fisher


Everyone loves taking time off of work, even if you are going to stay home. It is all the more enjoyable, though, if you have a vacation away from home planned. Costa Rica beach resorts provide you with a place to go where the temperature is never too hot or cold, and the pristine beaches and local culture are worth traveling for.

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.

The beach is not the only fun thing you can do when vacationing in this Central American paradise, though. Check out the local wildlife, especially the colorful and exotic bird population and the cute howler monkeys. Sightseeing tours that include historical areas and shopping are great for souvenir hunters. Go alone, or take a guided tour that can usually be arranged with your hotel, though an additional fee may apply for offsite excursions.

When you return from your beach day or excursions, you can look forward to a clean room. Most properties offer single rooms with a patio or balcony. Some give you the option of renting a villa which can sleep an entire family and may include a kitchen and other amenities that most regular hotel rooms would not.
