1.An unforgettable town!

Every trip to Costa Rica should include a stay in Tamarindo. It's a quaint surf town in the Guanacaste region of CR that is anything but sleepy. We stayed at Casa Leo Loco high atop the hill overlooking Tamarindo which was originally built by the guy who made 'Creature of the Black Lagoon'. The infinity pool overlooking the Pacific still makes me smile. The town itself is rustic yet booming with growth.

Every trip to Costa Rica should include a stay in Tamarindo. It's a quaint surf town in the Guanacaste region of CR that is anything but sleepy. We stayed at Casa Leo Loco high atop the hill overlooking Tamarindo which was originally built by the guy who made 'Creature of the Black Lagoon'. The infinity pool overlooking the Pacific still makes me smile. The town itself is rustic yet booming with growth. The best breakfast burritos are at Gil's and the Imperials are cold no matter where you go. If you have time head south to pig beach where you'll meet Lola a 700-lb pig that lives and plays on the surf. There's a restaurant on the beach that's named for her as well. Hopefully you'll see the incredibly huge sinkhole in the middle of town that fills with brown water in the rainy season. We accidentally drove our 4x4 into several ditches requiring help from the locals. Bring home CR coffee and guaro (Rum I'm partial to Cacique) which are unforgettable. Since the word is out on Tamarindo people are putting good money into the town. Please go now while it's still an inexpensive and fun party/surf town. Did I mention the fishing? We had our own yellow tail and tuna sashimi the boys caught early one morning. What more could you ask for in a vacation?
