Hotels in Pacific Coast, Mexico

The Pacific Coast of Costa Rica runs from Guanacaste's dry forests to the lush Osa Peninsula, famous for massive surf breaks like Playa Tamarindo and untouched rainforests in Corcovado National Park. The climate is hot and humid year-round, averaging 80°F (27°C), with a dry season from December to April ideal for catching waves in the Pacific Ocean, and a green season (May-November) offering cheaper surf lessons in Dominical or howler monkey spotting in Manuel Antonio. If you visit between July and October, grab binoculars for humpback whales near Marino Ballena National Park.
