Playa Flamingo had a gorgeous beach – perfect for walking and swimming. The beach resort had an amazing pool, complete with swim-up bar, and great ocean views from the restaurant (although, we preferred Coco Loco and Angelina’s for meals).

Just a short drive down the beach (literally, we drove on the beach), we found Playa Conchal, where you can rent snorkel gear, swim around the rocky coastline, and have a freshly opened coconut water when you’re finished.

Overall, this was a great stay in Costa Rica!
