Riu Guanacaste

[Jordanna Ristau]

Just wondering if anyone is considering Riu Guanacaste for their wedding resort(it looks like it has a Gazebo by the beach)? I am just starting to plan my wedding and trying to decide between Paradisus Playa Conchal and Riu Guanacaste. Does anyone know which property has the nicer beach? I have been to Costa Rica and stayed in Tamarindo and loved it. I am thinking that Riu is going to be way too far away from Tamarindo. Does anyone know what there is to do in coco(I think that is what its called) which is the town near the Riu?

Dear Jordanna,

 

You will be about 1 hr15min from Tama. If you are a surfer Conchal will be the better option, Coco is a bay of calm shores. If you want snorkeling, jetski, watersports in general, then Coco is you place. Both places PPC & Riu will have the quad-runner tours and sportfishing. They both have nitelife and good places to eat at. Personally, I like Conchal for its shaded beach, whitest sand in CR and as you already know Langosta, near Tamarindo is beautiful. They both have a lot to offer, it is a matter of your taste.

 

Hope this helps.
