What To Do At Costa Rica Beach Resorts

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.

Costa Rica has a lot to offer people. It is located in Central America and has a very temperate climate, especially in the winter months, when the low temperature is still in the high 60s. Most months, the high is somewhere in the 80s, which makes this a fantastic destination anytime of year for people wanting to get away from it all.

The country is dotted with resorts and hotels that can give you a basic or full, pampering experience, depending on what you desire. The amount and type of amenities may vary, but if you choose the right resort you can get just about anything. Pools are one amenity that pretty much every place has. Some have private plunge pools in larger rooms, while still offering big public pools that everyone can use for swimming and tanning.

Many people like to kick back and relax with a nice tropical drink or other spirits when on vacation. Your chosen resort will likely have several bars or lounges to choose from, both indoors and outdoors. There are also nonalcoholic drinks for kids or those who don't imbibe.

There will be no lack of restaurants and places to eat when you check in. Most have onsite eateries, some of which are served buffet style. Others are regular service with a waiter where you get served delicious cuisine, some of which shows the local culture off and lets you get a taste of how people in Costa Rica eat.

Since the beach is one of the biggest draws, a lot of activities you can experience during your stay center around the sand and surf. Many offer free chairs and towels to take with you while you sunbathe. A few luxurious ones may even offer private cabanas for individuals or families to spend time overlooking the water with some privacy. They may even bring food and drinks to these cabanas.

You do not have to stay put on the resort at all times, though. There are lots of fun excursions and activities that are off the property. Some hotels will arrange for these for you if you request, though they may cost extra. They include culinary tours, cultural tours and shopping excursions among others. Sightseeing tours of historical structures and local wildlife are also very popular, especially since Costa Rica is home to many howler monkeys and exotic, colorful birds.

Upon your return from whatever activities you are doing that day, you can look forward to relaxing in your well appointed room. Most have a patio or balcony to enjoy. Some even offer villas with small back yards and fences for larger groups to give you privacy and a vacation experience you will not soon forget.
