The Neighborhood:
Playa Hermosa
Just north of Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa is a smaller, more relaxed version of a beachfront paradise, with spectacular ocean views, luxurious mountainside villas, a handful of gourmet restaurants and even a movie theater.
It’s a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Coco, yet it’s close to all of Coco’s conveniences and thriving nightlife. The nicer hotels in Hermosa include the beachfront Bosque del Mar (with trees growing through the decks) and Villa del Sueño (with live music and an incredible chef).
A couple of restaurants not to miss are Ginger (Asian-inspired tapas in a treehouse) and the beachfront Aqua Sport (with signs like “If you drink to forget, pay first”).
To the north of Hermosa there are a string of luxe resorts lining the gorgeous Bahía Culebra, including Occidental Papagayo, El Mangroove, Casa Conde and Secrets. And it’s not far from here to the Beverly Hills of Costa Rica, Papagayo Peninsula, home to the Four Seasons, a world-class marina and a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer.
Getting Around:
Our dedicated agents are at your service, ready to assist you in securing a rental car, granting you the freedom to explore the area at your own pace. For short jaunts to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are a popular choice for convenient mobility. Alternatively, you can opt for a bicycle to navigate the town and its surroundings.
In addition, we can arrange hassle-free airport transfers for your convenience. If you prefer the ease of having a rental car waiting for you at your property, we offer complimentary delivery services. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive from the airport to your destination in our private van.
While taxis are available, they may be somewhat challenging to find. Many locals rely on buses for transportation, although there is a limited selection of routes and schedules. Private shuttles are an excellent choice for reaching nearby destinations, and numerous tour companies offer transportation to and from their tours.
For your reference, our information brochure contains valuable details about local transportation options, points of interest, as well as contact information for taxi and shuttle services. Your exploration of the area just got a whole lot easier!
