Luxurious Resorts in Costa Rica

Have you ever considered going to an exotic country for a few days?  Relaxing, getting your mind off daily problems and just laying somewhere in the sun sipping a cool fresh Piña Colada.  For those who dream about it and are willing to turn their dream into a real experience, Costa Rica is the perfect destination.  This tropical paradise gives its visitors a mix of wildlife, luxury and adventure.  For those who would like to be amazed by wild, unscathed nature such as the sight of the Arenal Volcano bursting into flames, or take in the beauty of small hummingbirds taking flight, Costa Rica is the perfect location for travelers who wish to relax and those who are more adventurous.

If you’ve decided to indulge yourself in a Costa Rican experience, here a few recommendations for an unforgettable holiday.

1) Playa Cativo

Playa Cativo, a luxury resort located in Puntarenas, waits for its guests to enjoy the views of the Piedras Blancas National Park and explore the 1000 acres of private rainforest.  The peaceful beach invites tourists to lounge all day and admire the sights or go for a swim in the clear waters of the Southern Costa Rican coast.

Villa Calletas, located at 1150 feet over the Central Pacific, is famous for its incredible view and proximity to the jungle.  Visitors love this native resort filled with astonishing décor and Costa Rican charm.  Travelers may choose to enjoy Costa Rica’s many adventurous offerings or soak in indulgence and natural beauty from the confines of their private room.

3) Alta Gracia

Alta Gracia, located in the southern region of Costa Rica, in the Perez Zeledon Mountains, is also the country’s unique “Boutique Hacienda”.  Every visitor will receive a warm welcome from the family who has been running this facility for more than two generations.  It only takes a glimpse over The Hacienda in the morning, as the fog turns the mountain black into a cloud, to understand the meaning of pura vida, a phrase used by the locals.

4) Casa Chameleon
