Most people visit Costa Rica during the December to May dry season, but the country is worth the trip any time of the year. And during the rainiest months on the Pacific side -September and October- it tends to be fairly sunny every day. If you plan to visit our beaches in the high season (December through March), an early confirmed reservation is necessary.

   Visitors of the US, Canada, western Europe and Latin America arriving by plane at the Juan Santamaria International Airport in San José. From San José, you can fly on national airline SANSA to Tamarindo airport.

   Daily bus service from San José to the beaches of Playa Conchal, Playa Brasilito and Playa Flamingo with TRALAPA and to Playa Tamarindo with ALFARO. The trip over the scenic Panamerican Highway by car from San José is approximately five hours.

   If you have any questions regarding travel to, or within, Costa Rica, feel free to contact us. We speak English, Spanish and German.

   Costa Rica's number one MELIA CONCHAL BEACH & GOLF RESORT is located in front of Playa Conchal. This beach is a five kilometer stretch of pristine white sand and warm crystal clear water. A short walk to the north brings you to Playa Brasilito, -a small unspoiled local beach community-, where our small Hotel Brasilito sit's right in front of the beach. Further up north you'll find Playa Flamingo with it's high class accommodations and the Flamingo marina. In short; you'll find plenty of activities: golfing, horseback riding, quadra tours, diving, fishing and sailing. Booking a tour or rent sports equipment can be arranged from our Hotel.

   Playa Grande, Playa Ventana and Playa Carbon featuring miles of pristine sandy beaches. Small family operated hotels and privately owned homes are surrounded by pure nature. Embedded is the national park "Marina las Baulas" where the giant leatherback sea turtles lay their eggs, -between November and March-, on the beach. To the south from Playa Grande, by crossing the estuary in a boat, you are in a few minutes at Playa Tamarindo.
The bustling town of Tamarindo with it's hotels, restaurants, shopping center, medical care... is not only a very famous destination for a surfers delight.

   There is so much more to tell about our beautiful Costa Rica. The culture and history and especially the people. The "Ticos" as Costa Ricans are called, are famous for being friendly, helpful, talkative, self-assured and gregarious; they love their music, football (soccer), Imperial Beer and especially, their country. They are predominantly of European heritage, mostly Spanish, but a fair number of them show varying amounts of indigenous characteristics. There is also a Chinese minority, spread fairly evenly around the country. And there is also a fairly large international community made up almost entirely of European and North American expatriotes.

Finally a few last words.

   "As a former world traveller and one of the last big spenders, -at the end of a long run-, I found my little paradise. Living in peace on a small farm with my lovely Costa Rican wife and a great labrador dog. Enjoying my real friends, the beautiful country, my small business and a few cold drinks. What can a man more ask for?"

   Always with a smile,

      Bernie Fässler
