“Paradise...check” My family found paradise ...Playa Hermosa. A very quaint town not overly run with tourist attractions. This condo was amazing. It was clean and comfortable with many fantastic amenities. We grilled out during a big football game here in the states. We swam laps and splashed around in the clean and quiet pool just feet from the condo. We were able to capture beautiful sunsets from the second floor balcony. The property staff also gave us limes and bananas picked on site that morning. A few step from the condo gets you to the ocean where the waves are crashing and the monkeys are playing over head. The on-site managers were friendly, kind, and very helpful suggesting things to do and see. The area was very safe. We all agreed we will return!

“Awesome place” Our family spend a lovely week there. The property is located less than 2 minutes walk to the beach and it is very safe. Pool is great and gardens are carefully maintained. The property caretaker and guards were very courteous. The house is clean, spacious and has the basics to cook there. There is also Wi-Fi. Great view of the ocean from the balcony and easy to go to super market and restaurants. Playa Hermosa was quiet and relax during the month of august. This beach is very close to the city of Liberia and it is a great point to do day around Guanacaste, either to other beaches, volcanoes, waterfalls or rivers.

Playa Hermosa villa

“Lovely, private, inspirational home” I stayed here with my husband, teen daughter and 2, 20 something year old kids. The house is about 20 min from the airport, 5 minutes to the grocery store and restaurants and beaches, but still very private. It is everything you would want in a tropical getaway - Clean, cool, open and welcoming. We used the whole house and found it to be very comfortable - the beds were VERY comfortable. We spent the cooler parts of the day on the patios and enjoyed the incredible, unbeatable views to the ocean. In fact, my favorite part of the vacation was spending the early morning sipping delicious Costa Rican coffee on the balcony while listening to the countryside awake. The local manager, Myra, was very helpful, accommodating and available. She was able to secure a cook for us one night so we could have the "typical" dinner - delicious. Please note: the scary looking dirt road UP the hillside led us to the house. It's a very short ascent, but you will need a 4 wheel drive, or at least a larger car to make it up - we got used to it after a couple of days, but we had a good car and got a lot of experience on dirt roads with our travels around the country during the week. This house would be great for a large gathering, multiple families or a party!

“A spectacular vacation” Our vacation to Costa Rica was made special, indeed spectacular, thanks to the efforts of the people at Costa Rica Star Villas. Mar-a-Villa was luxurious, and provided our group of ten not only a wonderful "home away from home" but only a convenient base from which we could take advantage of all that Costa Rica has to offer - from scuba diving to deep sea fishing to zip-lining to river rafting and beyond. Costa Rica Star Villas provided us our own private concierge, driver, maid and chef - all of whom worked very hard to make us comfortable and all of whom contributed to our outstanding experience in Costa Rica.

Pacifico - Fabulous Ocean View New 2 Bed 2 Bath
Playas del Coco apartment
2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms / sleeps 6
“Absolutely perfect!” This has been one of the most beautiful vacation rentals I have had the pleasure of staying in. The photos don't do this place justice. I was blown away by the panoramic ocean views from the balcony and how meticulously the condo and community grounds are maintained. The furnishings are brand new and very high-end, especially for Costa Rica. The king bed is extremely comfortable with quality linens, and I'm sure the queen bed in the spare bedroom is just as comfortable, even though it wasn't used. The condo is very secure and in a gated community that is guarded 24/7 which was a nice reassurance. Pacifico is also within walking distance to everywhere in Coco that you'd need to go. I would not hesitate recommending this accommodation to anyone visiting Costa Rica. This is truly the best place you could stay in Playas del Coco, it doesn't get any better! Thank you Dave for your wonderful hospitality.

“Costa Rican Paradise” We stayed here for 8 nights to attend a friend's wedding at the nearby Westin resort. We are so glad we chose this route instead of staying in one of the bigger hotels. It was peaceful, accommodating, clean and gave us a real taste of Costa Rica. The locals were wonderful and the nearby beach and few restaurants in the area, is all you need to enjoy your own piece of paradise.

About Playa Hermosa
Playa Hermosa in Puntarenas, Costa Rica, is only 5 km south of Jaco. It is a mecca for surfers, where the waves can reach 13 feet. Of course, there are many other things to do if the surf isn't up! Search FlipKey for your ideal place to stay and choose from luxury villas or beachfront cabins.
About Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica
Hernán Ponce de León discovered Puntarenas in the 16th century, although there were native tribes already in the area.
Coffee has played a central role in the development of the region since it was discovered by the Europeans. In the early 19th century, it became famous for exporting it, as well as bananas.
The traditional dress in the area is beautiful. Women wear long colored skirts (golas) with ruffled blouses with different color trimming. Their hair is braided and decorated with a flower. Men wear a hat with a wide brim and white, or light pants with shirts tucked into a red belt or sash.
While you're there try rondon, a spicy coconut soup. You can also buy refreshing fruit juices (naturales) on the streets. Mango, pineapple and melon juices are among the favorites. Another favorite local dish is gallo pinto—rice and black beans.
The vibrant culture, and the surfing, make for an exciting vacation!
What to do in Playa Hermosa
Surfing is the main reason for vacationing in Playa Hermosa. However, there are plenty of other things to do if that's not your thing.
Visit Carara National Park and see the crocodiles in the Tarcoles river. If you don't like large reptiles, there are many brightly colored birds to spot. The area is incredibly rich with wildlife so you may see opossums, two-toed sloths, agoutis, armadillos, pacas, great anteaters, and poison-arrow frogs (if you are lucky). You will certainly see monkeys!
From Jaco, you can take a trip to Tortuga (turtle) island. You’ll see beautiful species of parrot, but be careful of the wild pigs—they can be dangerous.
Take one of the many cruises on offer. Visit the untouched mangroves on an Eco Jungle tour. It's a great way to while away an afternoon.
Visit the Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve. This is one of the best examples of sustainable tourism in the world.
There's something for everyone in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica.
Top travel tips for Playa Hermosa
Probably the best way of getting from A to B in Playa Hermosa and Puntarenas is to hire a car at the airport. You can also hire scooters and bikes.
Take a ferry from the city of Puntarenas and visit one of the small villages on the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula. This will give you an insight into the daily life of the people from the Puntarenas region.
The Gulf of Nicoya is worth a visit to see the spectacular sunsets. Why not take a picnic?
For an unforgettable surfing vacation go to Playa Hermosa. There's a lot to see and do and the local cuisine is excellent. You won't be disappointed. You can get off the well-beaten tourist track, or visit the bustling city of Puntarenas. The choice is yours!
