Papagayo evenings

Places to stay

Sleep beside a bay, in a house on the ridge, or a block from the break. Three ways to stay — the names and calendars can grow from here.

Luxury

Peninsula resorts

Papagayo is built for the guest who wants a bay, a good bed, and no decisions after landing in Liberia.

Houses

The Gold Coast lives in houses: kitchens that open to the trade winds, pools that face west, and room for a week of friends.

Boutique

Small hotels in Tamarindo, Sámara, and Nosara — walk to the break, walk to dinner, leave the car parked.
