Andaz Papagayo Resort
Dine like a local as you eat in one of the resort’s three restaurants, each serving an array of Latin American dishes, and delicious fresh fruit from the region. Rio Bhongo, the hotel’s all-day open-air option, offers local cuisine and we suggest you try its famous ceviche-making class. The signature restaurant, Ostra, has intimate booths and a terrace. There is even a coffee shop serving the finest Costa Rican chocolate and coffee.
- Spend time in the spa, with its superb views. It has nine treatment rooms and offers a range of rejuvenating treatments.
- Visit Palo Verde National Park, known for its mangroves and for the jabiru bird, the largest stork in the world. Mammals found here include armadillos, agoutis and monkeys.
- Golf enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them occupied at the peninsula’s Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course with its world-class 18 holes.
- We recommend a day trip to the dwarf tropical dry forest of Santa Rosa National Park, one of the last remaining examples of this endangered ecosystem.
- Extroverts will love the humming beach town of Tamarindo. It is also an ideal place for surfing, for both beginners and experts.
