Las Baulas National Marine Park

There is excellent bird and wildlife watching in the park. The nearby Tamarindo Wildlife Refuge, a salt water mangrove estuary, is thick with black-bellied whistling ducks, roseate spoonbills, yellow-crowned night herons, kingfishers and crocodiles. Howler monkeys, raccoons and coatimundis are also frequently spotted.

Came back from an excursion late went directly our room and the bedding were off our beds. Seem to us that the cleaning crew came in started cleaning but just left and didn’t come back. Call front desk and with 15 mins had a lady come and bring bedding sheets and she cleaned our room. First time this has happened to us! Other than that resort was well kept and everyone very nice and helpful!

Playa Langosta
This was the most interesting beaches I've been to. It may look like sand, but it's actually little bits of shells. Your feet may hurt, so definitely bring flip flops to this one. Don't let the shells steer you away - they are actually beautiful. This beach is popular among locals. #LifeAtExpedia
