Costa Rica All-Inclusive Resorts
Whether you are headed to Costa Rica for a romantic getaway or bringing the whole crew, Costa Rica has a plethora of resorts that are all-inclusive. Most of them are located in the provinces of Punta Arenas or Guanacaste along the Pacific Ocean. But which one do I choose? Well...that's where I come in. I have either personally stayed at or have done site inspections on most if not all of the all-inclusive resorts in Costa Rica. Living here over the past four years has allowed me to retain first hand knowledge of the properties to create an extraordinary package for your Costa Rica all-inclusive resort vacation! Here are some of my favorite Costa Rica vacation spots:
DREAMS LAS MAREAS
Dreams Las Mareas Resort is without a doubt one of my favorite Costa Rica all-inclusive resorts. It is a vibrant beach getaway for couples, families and singles to enjoy an escape in luxury. Located on an expansive palm-studded beach and surrounded by lush green mountains & jungles on Playa El Jobo in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. Guests of all ages can enjoy an action–packed vacation with watersports and land activities or relax by the swimming pools while sunbathing or laying under a thatched palapa. Continue the fun into the evenings with live nightly entertainment, outdoor bars and lounges, and so much more. With 8 dining experiences including five à la carte restaurants, a buffet, a grill and a café, the options are endless. Reservations are not required at any of the restaurants, however if you want teppanyaki at Himitsu, I would strongly advise. Some of the restaurants have dress codes so make sure to at least pack one pair of long pants and dress shoes.
