Latest Playa Hermosa hotel reviews
travelgirl3 Says: Having been to the Caribbean many times, I'm used to powdery white sand beaches. But on the west coast of Costa Rica, the sand is a mixture of black and white - white from the usual coral, but the black is from the volcanic rock from which the country was formed.As you can...
travelgirl3 Says: This is a closer view of the black volcanic sand, common of the beaches in Costa Rica. While it is not as soft as the usual sugary white sand, it is very interesting, and forms beautiful patterns when the waves recede back to the ocean.
travelgirl3 Says: After our boat ride accompanied by the dolphins and stingrays, we arrived at this island. The staff prepared an excellent barbequed lunch and we spent the afternoon exploring this little island on our own. After a couple of hours, it was time to get back on the boat to...
travelgirl3 Says: We've all know that dolphins like to ride in the wake of a boat, or jump through the waves in front. Well, for the very first time, we saw this first hand. In this photo, you can see the dolphins swimming along behind the boat. Later on, they swam in front, almost close...
razzz Says: This was a great place with amazing tapas. The emphasis on amazing produce that is available all year in Costa Rica is obvious. There was a good selection of vegetarian options and the frites were amazing! The downside is that it is owned by Americans and is not local...
hawk460 Says: You must have one of these to depart from Costa Rica,,,$26.00 USD as of May 2008. These are easy to obtain at the airport,,,no problem!
travelgirl3 Says: I don't know if walking your pig on the beach is really a local custom in Costa Rica, but this pink porker certainly seemed to be enjoying the waves! When we approached, he wound around our legs, and enjoyed being scratched behind the ears, just like a dog would.
Be Careful Around Big Iguanas!
travelgirl3 Says: This guy certainly looked friendly enough. Every morning when we returned from breakfast, he would come out of his hidey-hole beside the pathway leading to our room, and watch the people walk by.One day Hubby decided to bring him some fruit from the buffet. As soon as he...

Rincon de la Vieja National Park
razzz Says: This is very off the path, it takes about two hours and you need a 4 WD vehicle to take you here. The access road is 16 miles of dirt road, and if you don't have good shocks in your car, you will feel every bit of this road!! The park is beautiful. We were short on time so...

Playa Hermosa is a beautiful, calm beach that feels like a private place though it has public access. It is great for swimming, relaxing, tidepooling and bird watching.
