As a resident in Costa Rica's Central Pacific for more than 17 of my 29 years of living in CR, I'd say: Jaco Beach-Playa Hermosa-Los Sueños Marina & Golf Resort, are the locations that make this the best area ---but only if you love the beach! We're famous for offering some of the most memorable sunsets you'll ever see; and daily, discover the joys of walking on an uncrowded beach; surfing on world famous waves; hiking through tropical forests; but there's more: not only do we offer more options for fun or quiet moments for a beachtown, BUT we are the closest to San Jose: only one hour plus away from the SJO Int'l Airport OR to the classy fun filled Santa Ana-ESCAZU!"
