Guanacaste Beaches
Tamarindo - Langosta - Conchal - Flamingo
Home to the Reserva Conchal and Hacienda Pinilla Golf Courses

The Tamarindo / Flamingo Guanacaste Northwest Coast region encompasses the popular coastal area from Playa Langosta to the south and Playa Potrero to the north.  The area is known for its unspoiled beaches, world class surfing, challenging golf courses, fishing, exciting towns, nightlife and many Costa Rica hotel options.

Large resorts along with small boutique hotels offer visitors many lodging alternatives.  Easy access to the beaches and many restaurant and entertainment options make this region in western Guanacaste a golfer's favorite.  With close proximity to the Liberia International Airport, this popular beach area is easily accessible from anywhere in the world.

The Tamarindo to Flamingo corridor is home to world class golf resorts including the Paradisus Playa Conchal - a member of the Leading Hotels of the World - and the JW Marriott scheduled to open in 2009 in Hacienda Pinilla.  In the nearby town of Tamarindo guests can also find quaint, boutique hotels like Capitan Suizo and Cala Luna.  This region is the fastest developing area of Costa Rica with large luxury resorts in the future plans, including the Hyatt Regency in Brasilito Beach. 

Costa Rica golf packages visiting the Tamarindo - Langosta - Conchal region can be designed using two distinct approaches:  the most popular involves using a large resort such as Paradisus or the condos in Conchal or the JW Marriott in Pinilla as the home base.  The second involves choosing a hotel in Tamarindo and travelling to the golf courses.  Staying in or close to town is ideal for golfers that treasure an active nightlife with access to restaurants and bars that range from ethnic to fresh seafood.

Challenging Costa Rica golf courses are perfectly complemented by a wide range of land based on off shore activities.  Some of the recommended activities in Tamarindo, Langosta, Conchal & Flamingo include:

Enjoy a leisure boat ride down the dry tropical forest on a tour to the Palo Verde National Park.

Visit the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, and some of the mud baths and hot springs in the region.  Adventure trips to this volcano feature canopy tours, hiking tours in the rainforest and rappelling.

Shop for souvenirs in Liberia.

Combine your Costa Rica golf package with world-class billfishing, or stay in-shore fishing for wahoo, tuna, mahi-mahi, roosterfish and snapper.

Explore the native mangroves in Tamarindo on a sea kayaking tour.

Embark on a sunset cruise off the shore of Tamarindo Beach.  View spectacular sunsets on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast as you sail through Tamarindo bay.

Watch the giant leatherback turtles nesting during a special night tour only available from mid November to late February. This is a miracle of nature that can only be seen in select places around the globe, during a few months of the year.

Cross the border to Granada in Nicaragua and visit another Central American country while you are in the region.  This long day tour will take you across the northern border and through southern Nicaragua, visiting Lake of Nicaragua and the picturesque town of Masaya, home to many artisans.  The highlight of the trip is a visit to one of Latin America’s oldest cities, Granada. The Colonial city is full of interesting architecture, colorful buildings and friendly people.

Tamarindo is the perfect destination for Costa Rica golf packages that include a beach town experience, magnificent beaches, at least two championship golf in Costa Rica courses, a wide range of activities and the Costa Rica's top luxury all-inclusive resort.  While the area features substantial development and to many it is getting too urbanized, there are many unspoiled beaches worth exploring in this area.  To include the Tamarindo area golf courses in your Costa Rica golf package, please call us toll free at (888) 928-3688 or email us at info@memorablecostarica.com.
