What To Do At Costa Rica Beach Resorts

By Jennifer Fisher


Vacation time is a special time for anyone, whether you are singled, a couple or a family. Many people enjoy going somewhere warm and sandy, such as a beach, when they get to take a trip. If you want to really go all out for your next beach vacation, consider one of the many Costa Rica beach resorts that are available.

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.

You can make up a list of amenities you may desire in a resort vacation, and there is likely a place in Costa Rica that has all of them, and then some. At the top of a lot of lists is a swimming pool, for days when you do not want to deal with sand. While pretty much all hotels and resorts in the country have public pools, a few may offer smaller, private plunge pools in their larger rooms for guests that would like to cool off in the privacy of their room.

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 is likely at least one restaurant to eat at within the hotel. Many larger properties have multiple restaurants to eat at. Some are buffet style, while others may have regular sit down service with wait staff. Some even have themes, and most feature at least some local dishes and delicacies so you can get a true taste of the locale.

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.

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.

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.
