Best Costa Rica Honeymoon Places to visit
Last week a group of my friends and I who had been to Costa Rica for our honeymoons were debating on which were the best places for a romantic getaways there. As expected, there were differences in opinions as we all had different expectations and requirements when it comes to the places to for our honeymoons. Although quite a number of them names Tamarindo, Jaco and Quepos as their favourite places for honeymoons or romantic getaways. In my opinion while those are all great Costa Rica honeymoon places but they are also slightly overcrowded which is not my to my liking as I prefer places where you do not have to fight for a place to have your dinner.
So my place of choice to have a romantic getaway or holiday is definitely the Nicoya Peninsula on the north west side of Costa Rica. I was there with my wife for our honeymoon about 5 years ago and I have been back a couple of times as we felt that there were areas in Nicoya that we have never been. If you go to Nicoya Penincular you have got to visit Tambor, Montezuma, Mal Pais and Santa Teresa located on the south of the peninsular. You can start off with Tambor as it has a landing strip so you can take flight directly there from San Jose. Tambor is pretty serenely beautiful and the waters off the coast here is calm enough even for young children and novice swimmers to swim in it. However if you are looking for some partying at night, this is not the place to be. You need to go to Montezuma Costa Rica which is famous for its fabulous party scene on the weekend especially at a particular open air bar next to the beach. Montezuma Costa Rica is also a great place to visit the famous Cabo Blanco wildlife reserve where there are abundance of flora and faunas and topical animals. Next on the list is Mal Pais which is a tranquil and uncrowded beach town which is pretty popular with surfers due to the big waves. You can actually make a day trip here from Montezuma unless you are s serious surfer who wants to spend more time in Mal Pais. Further away from here is Santa Teresa which is equally well known for its surfing activities. More than that Santa Teresa is slowly but surely develop into quite a trendy place with the hip restaurants, hotels and other amenities that have come up over the years to cater for the growing number of tourists in this place.
