Northern Pacific Hotels

Ever since the Daniel Oduber International Airport opened in Liberia, the northern Pacific or Guanacaste Region, also known as the "Gold Coast" of Costa Rica, has literally exploded. The towns of Liberia and Nicoya have boomed in both tourism hubs and northern Costa Rican business centers. The beach areas (coming from the south) Playa Carrillo, Playa Nosara, Playa Samara and Playa Grande, have all benefited from the airport opening, but also the building of the bridge across the Tempisque River. Although these are probably the most remote beach areas to reach, they are still growing, adding hotels, Cabinas, (cabins) and restaurants to their already formidable selection.

The really stunning growth exists in the more northern beach areas, of Playas Junquilla, Playa Langosta, Playa Ocotal, Playa Ostinonal, Playa Portrero, Playa Conchal, Playa Brasilito, Playa Flamingo, and Sugar Beach. These beach areas have grown so much, if you have been to any of these beach resorts in the last few years, you may not recognize them now, due to the number of hotels and restaurants and large resorts, including several golf courses. Many of the beach areas mentioned above are world renown as some of the finest surfing locations in Costa Rica. As a result of this, many of the hotels, particularly around Playa Langosta and Avellanas, cater to surfers, both young and on a budget, or older, with a taste for more comfortable surroundings. The cross section of travellers, has transformed this region into a wide cross section of lodging, that is available to everyone.

The area that has been transformed the most is the Gulfo de Panama area that includes: Playa Panama, Playa Hermosa, and Playa Azul. These beachfront accommodations have been created to entice the most discriminating travellers, and are some of the worlds most fabulous resorts, luxury villas and condominium projects that have ever existed in Costa Rica. This location has attracted the more discriminating land, condo and home buyers. The area is growing rapidly with upscale homes and condos. Many of these are properties are being offered to the clients of rental management companies as luxury vacation rentals, and this seems to be one of the more popular options for couples travelling together or large family groups.

Just because the beaches are so sought after in the Guanacaste Region, don't forget that there is an inland destination that should not be overlooked. The Rincon del Vieja, is a spectacular sight, with several world class hotels to make the traveller's destination even more attractive. There are natural hot springs located on the hotels premises and there are other natural wonders, with less expensive lodging available in other, nearby locations. These are just a few of the tourist sights that are available in this region to delight you and make your vacation truly special and exciting.
