Luxury for couples or families on Papagayo
Couples looking for an isolated, romantic tropical destination with private, luxurious accommodations will find what they are looking for on Costa Rica's Papagayo Peninsula, but the area is also popular with families and small groups of friends traveling together on a tour of Costa Rica.
Located on the country's Pacific Coast, south of Santa Rosa National Park, Papagayo is home to a number of world-class luxury resorts and spas and features a championship 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. Travelers can choose between traditional hotel accommodations or detached, private bungalows. Honeymooners can enjoy splendid seclusion and gourmet dining options, while families can take advantage of activities on the beaches and in the jungles.
Among these activities, the Witch's Rock Canopy Tour is a favorite, as it features no fewer than 23 platforms high in the treetops. Among the peninsula's beaches, Playa Hermosa is a great place to mingle with other travelers and local fisherman, and the calm blue waters are perfect for swimming.
Other potential Papagayo adventures include horseback riding, sunset sails, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing for dorado and yellowfin tuna.
