It is located between Pranamar Villas and El Peñón ("Big Rock"), where Santa Teresa Beach turns into Hermosa Beach…

Rainy time in Costa Rica and the grounds are colored in beautiful green all over. At the beach, every morning is always sunny, some rain in the afternoon... fresh&cool.

If your vacation time is planned in Costa Rica then include in your schedule to visit Tamarindo Beach, Arenal Volcano and Monteverde Cloud Forest.

Nice time down here....
