Upon arrival, guests are enveloped in a warm tropical breeze, greeted by a lobby that melds laid-back elegance with local artistry-a stunning mosaic crafted from natural elements and vivid hues that immediately whispers 'vacation.'

Explore the Local Area
Margaritaville Beach Resort is ideally situated along Costa Rica's Gold Coast, a mere 25 km from the bustling Tamarindo. Venture out to discover Playa Prieta, Punta Sabana, and the pristine shores of Playa Potrero-all within a few kilometers. The nearby Rincon de la Vieja National Park presents the chance for adventurous hikes through humid rainforests, introducing visitors to fumaroles and abundant wildlife. Just down the coast lies the enchanting Las Baulas National Park, where the sandy beaches serve as a crucial nesting ground for majestic Leatherback turtles. For those arriving by boat, seamless access to the resort complements day trips and excursions, such as dolphin spotting or sunset cruises aboard Margaritaville's private yacht. Local air transfers via Sansa Air or Nature Air from San Jose to Liberia make your journey smoother.

“The proximity to Playa Flamingo is a defining advantage, placing guests steps from the Pacific.

This property emphasizes Costa Rican flavors and caters well to families seeking both relaxation and adventure.”
