Playa Hermosa is a notable attraction in this wonderful city. Swing by and see for yourself what it's all about.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Papagayo?

Accepted Answer

If you have a spare day or two and you're happy to travel 25 miles, take a look at Tamarindo. This popular place offers up lots of things to keep you engaged. Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course, Avellana Beach and Las Baulas de Guanacaste National Marine Park alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you toward Nicoya, 40 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Nicoya Colonial Church. (But we'd also recommend La Casa de la Cultura and Barra Honda National Park.)

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Papagayo?

Accepted Answer

Get ready for your upcoming adventure in Papagayo. Which car you decide on depends on what kind of vacation you have in mind. If you're traveling on your own, why not opt for a compact or a mini? They're cheap to run and a breeze to park. If you're traveling with a few friends, think about an intermediate or a standard car. They offer more room to move and space for bags.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Papagayo?

Accepted Answer

You'll be pleased to hear that there's a wide variety of both luxury and economy rental vehicles in Papagayo. What you end up going for is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer the best in mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not pick up a high-end SUV, or perhaps a flashy medium-sized sedan? Otherwise, if you just need something to get you from A to B at the cheapest price possible, maybe go for a budget compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
