    Park in Brasilito. Pay 4 mil. (in colones)
    You can grab some cold drinks at the store by the parking area.
    Follow the crowd to the beach!

    It’s a beautiful beach!!
    The sand is fabulous!
    The water is clear!
    DEFINITELY worth the short walk!

    We walked passed the crowds and found a perfect spot under a tree. The breeze was fabulous!

    This is a nice little beach with free parking and some trees to provide some shade from the sun. It’s much easier to get to than Playa Conchal. Vendors are also present to offer chairs, tents, massages, trinkets, etc. Bring your own chairs if you have them and nab you a spot under the trees for some shade. If you are running late, the vendors will set up a spot for you. Also, an ice chest full of waters and adult beverages will allow you to make this a very nice all-day beach day without getting overheated. The only reason I give this a 4 star rating over a 5 is that there are no bathrooms. Overall it is a nice beach and made for a very relaxing and enjoyable day.

    We spent a lazy morning here enjoying the soft, light sand and the turquoise waters. It was one of the most beautiful beaches we have enjoyed while in Costa Rica. The road access is a bit adventuresome and we were glad to have an SUV.

    amazing golf course, staff unmatched on service. Most times we felt we were the only ones on the course. Tons of wildlife to look at. Vegatation is amazing as well.
    Lot of traps so bring your favorite sand club and perhaps a few xtra balls. you may not wish to spend time looking in some of the wildliffe habitat.

    Our family of 4 greatly enjoyed our horseback riding experience with Pacific Horses. Great communication during the booking process. The horses were rode were calm and not phased or skittish. I'm not an expert by any means, but the horses seemed well cared for.
    We did the 1 hour morning ride. Our guide Gustavo was amazing. Thank you for the great experience.

    Our guide was sweet and accommodating. My 10 year was nervous on his horse and he tied the reins to his own horse and led us on a beautiful journey. He pointed out the flora and animals, we saw giant iguanas & several monkeys.

    Best horseback riding tour ever! Spectacular views, beautiful horses, and awesome guides!

    We started on the beach, then went through some beautiful trails under trees, went into the ocean with the horses! and then back to the beach to finish the tour. Amazing.

    Our tour guide Henry was awesome. Super friendly and knowledgeable about riding, which was great for me as a first time rider.

    Unforgettable experience for my and my wife. Thank you Henry!!

    Highly recommend Conchal Horeseback Riding Adventure!!

    My husband and I did the awesome Rio Celeste Hike with guide Ronald with Conchal Fun two days ago. Since it was a private tour, they helped us curate our adventure. It’s an easy short walk to Llanos de Cortes where you can get in the water. We then did the shorter offered hike to Rio Celeste about 2.5 miles round trip. It was up hill in the jungle then down about 200 steps to the best view of the amazing waterfall. Then you do have to go back up the steps. (You can see without going down the steps if you are not fit.) Our adventure continued at a nature preserve where we saw many monkeys, a sloth, birds, snakes, frogs and insects in their habitat! Our Costa Rican lunch at a local spot was fantastic! We left Westin at 6:30am and returned about 4pm. Full fun day with Ronald who was so knowledgeable and made for a perfect day to leave the resort and see so much of CR!

    If you are in Costa Rica and are looking to book a tour or excursion look no further that Erik G. My wife and I recently traveled to Costa Rica and were lucky enough to find Erik. We booked an all day tour one day and a Catamaran sunset cruise. We were unsure what to expect and we were blown away with what we received.

    On our all day excursion it was just my wife and I with a guide vs one of big group. We felt like VIPs as we were picked up by Brian and shown the time of lives, visiting Celeste Falls, a coffee plantation and seeing sloths for the first time. The day exceeded every expectation.

    On the day before we were departing we booked a catamaran sunset tour through Erik on the Lazy Lizard Catamaran. I somehow got on the wrong bus with my wife and Erik was absolute on it. Called me and got us squared away quickly. The cruise was AWESOME!!!!

    There are a lot of options on setting up excursions but what you get with Erik is so much more than just a great price. You are booking with someone who truly cares about the experience you receive, who texts you updates to ensure you are prepared and what is needed and who goes the extra mile to make your tours. Erik G, in his blue google shirt, is the ONLY person we will book with on our next trip to Costa Rica.
