Which is the best Costa Rica spa?

Before we talk about all the great spas we wanted to let everyone know that there are many good local hairstylists and most of the spas also have hairstylists as well or will know where to get your hair done close by. 

There is a wonderful new hair salon right here in Playa Hermosa. Her name is Ale and her shop is called HEY ALE’ Contact her at 8308-7257

Costa Rica should be called, The Ultimate Spa Destination. Seriously. There are HUNDREDS of spas throughout the country many located in the middle of the rainforest or jungle. Many incorporate hot springs, mud baths and yoga retreats into their resorts. You could spend the rest of your retirement just checking each spa off of your list; not a bad way to live out your twilight years.

One of my all-time favorite things to do is to go to Playa Hermosa and get a massage right on the beach. There are about a half a dozen fantastic girls with their tables set up right under the palm trees. There is nothing like hearing the wave’s crash while the gentle breezes from the ocean blow. Now that’s my idea of a Costa Rica spa! The girls are in front of the El Velero Hotel, Bosque del Mar Hotel and at the bottom of the Condovac hotel. ENJOY!!

Introduction to Papagayo Costa Rica

Let me give you a little background on our area.  Playa Hermosa is part of a group of beaches that make up what is known as the Golfo de Papagayo:  Playa Ocotal, Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama. We are located in Guanacaste province on the NW Pacific coast region of the country – known as the ‘Gold Coast’.  Costa Rica is very reminiscent of Hawaii in the 60s and 70s with active volcanoes, spectacular beaches, and great climate.  Costa Rica is recognized worldwide for its biodiversity, housing over 5% of the world’s plant and animal species, has no army and prides itself on good education and healthcare systems.

Although tourists have been coming here for years, just recently investors from all over the globe are increasingly attracted to the peaceful lifestyle and excellent infrastructure that Costa Rica has to offer.  Over the last few years, Guanacaste has been the focus of that investment, and most recently, the Gulf of Papagayo.
