What travellers are saying
- Doug RIndianapolis, IN74 contributionsThis won’t be the most picturesque beach you’ll ever see, but if you want a really uncrowded beach next to a sleepy little town or boutique hotel this is it. Great for walking or riding some small waves and seeing some of it still with local beachfront homes, unspoiled by development.
Tip: You’ll need sandals in the mid day sun as the black sand gets hot! :-)Written 2 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He makes various delicious drinks with fresh coconut, fresh pineapple, with or without rum, as you prefer. We got a pina colada in a whole fresh pineapple. blended on site with rum, Easily sufficient for two people, perhaps to share with a third, under the shade of the big tree while looking a the beautiful view. He speaks good English but it was fun for me to chat a bit in Spanish to practice. He is there seven days a week from morning to sunset, which of course is a perfect time to visit and try and see a green flash as the sun disappears over the horizon.Written 22 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tim M1 contributionI recently rented a golf cart from Rent a Golf Cart Costa Rica.
A fabulous experience from start to finish.
I had a cart for two months and it was such a smooth pleasant time.
Chip and Jennifer are extremely competent and a delightful couple.
Should you have an issue, need gas, want a good recommendation for dinner or other local activities they are just a friendly phone call away!!
If you are traveling in their area of Guanacaste get in touch and enjoy the open air fun of renting one of their carts.Written 7 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Louisa MCanada1 contributionThe instructors are all excellent and create a calm, beautiful environment. The classes are so well crafted to integrate breath, movement, and soothing music leaving one feeling like they have been allowed to deeply enter into themselves and the energy around them.
Martin provides excellent instruction on breath and movement.
Sharka crafts an artistic deeply soothing hatha yoga class that is truly memorable.
Isabella teaches with heart and strength instilling confidence in the student.
Shelley's class is highly recommended.
Thank you.

Luckily, the nice folks at Colores Del Pacifico told me about Lauren's classes in the area. I took both a group class and a private lesson with Lauren and both were excellent. I have had several different teachers in the US and Lauren was definitely one of the best I've ever trained with. Not to mention, the environment couldn't have been any better (ocean view, ocean breezes, etc. : ) Under Lauren's expert instruction, I was able to do a few things that I had never been able to successfully do before in any class, with any teacher! And we had so much fun doing it as well! The next time I come to Costa Rica, I will definitely plan things around Lauren's classes. I don't want to miss the opportunity to learn from her again! Definitely recommended for all levels of experience from beginner to more experienced. She is fantastic!Written 9 March 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Collin M1 contributionI went on 10 dives with Chris in January of 2024! With him, I was able to get my open water and deep water certifications.
It was my first time ever diving, and I was quite nervous at first but Chris was an excellent teacher and expert diver. He helped me improve quite a bit, and stay safe!
We dove in many sites around the Catalina islands, and it was stunning! Saw so many different sea creatures I’d always wanted to see.
Overall, ChrisDiving is excellent! I fully recommend! It was an incredible experience.Written 3 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kristen Jeremiah4 contributionsI cant say enough positive things about this tour. The crew was amazing! Everyone was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and all around positive. I had a couple questions after booking the trip and the customer service was immediate with their responses. AND Tour Guanacaste saw that we were staying in Coco (closer to where they docked the boat rather than picked customers up) so had us meet there, resulting in both ease and our ability to stay on the boat a bit longer. The trip was worth every penny!Written 19 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
