There are plenty of travelers that don’t identify themselves with just one particular vacation style, but instead they are looking for the perfect combination of activities and destinations to satisfy their preferences.

For example, some like staying in a secluded hotel where they can relax but also have the possibility of doing some outdoor activities and even adventure tourism. Others want a little bit of the party scene but also a solitary beach; the combination of Playas del Coco and Ocotal in Costa Rica is ideal for this type of vacationist.

Playas del Coco or Coco Beach, located on the northern pacific coast of Costa Rica, is one of the largest beach villages in Guanacaste, very popular because of its nightlife, Playas del Coco offers all basic services and facilities and yet more, with a wide variety of restaurants, bars and entertainment options, including casinos, and the famous Hard Rock Cafe.

This area is also known as a great spot for sport fishing, but other activities like kayaking and sailing are also a big hit.

Playas del Coco is usually crowded, specially with a younger audience, yet there are plenty of lodging alternatives for those that wish to take advantage of the convenience of the area but at the same time enjoy a private and comfortable environment; however, if during day time, you rather spend the day in a secluded and quiet beach, head over to Ocotal.

Ocotal Beach is one of Guanacaste’s beautiful beaches, located just 2 miles from Coco Beach.

Ocotal is a small but charming beach with the perfect conditions to swim or snorkel and surrounded by natural beauty, it is also very clean and generally quiet. There are also many villas and vacation homes for rent in this zone, this is a very good choice for the tourist that prefers to stay in this calm location and just go out for a drink and dinner occasionally.
