Explore the mountains at Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation & Inn
Only 20 minutes from the International Airport, Finca Rosa Blanca is an intimate hotel and a haven of tranquility set amongst the volcanoes and farms of the Central Highlands. Indulge in fresh organic food at El Tigre Vestido restaurant and eat out on the veranda bathed in sunlight and refreshed by the breezes from the mountains above.
Wake in the morning to the sounds of tropical birds and the smells of freshly roasted coffee and homemade pastries. Explore the mountains on horseback, hike with the Inn’s on-site naturalist through coffee farms in search of the exotic morpho butterfly or dive into the crystal clear chemical free waters of the stunning swimming pool. Many families have enjoyed the tour of the organic coffee plantation that is followed by a coffee cupping session and the chance to prepare your own coffee beverage.
Relax and play at Harmony Hotel
In Guanacaste, we highly recommend the Harmony Hotel, homage to low-key luxury, combining elements of surfing, sustainability and laid back glamour.
Just steps away from the beach and on one of the best surfing breaks in Costa Rica, you will have the opportunity to take part in activities with your family such as surfing, guided hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, sport fishing, sailing charters, canopy zip-line tour, Olive Ridley Sea Turtles Nesting tour and more. Additionally, Harmony Hotel boasts its own Spa and Healing Center, offering a wide array of natural and organic spa treatments, massages and yoga.
Located right on stunning Pacific Ocean, and equipped with outdoor showers, private sun decks and organic, biodegradable amenities, the Harmony Hotel is the perfect place to relax and simply enjoy the beginning of your family time.
Experience where the beaches meet the rainforest at Arenas Del Mar
Manuel Antonio is Costa Rica’s most famous National Park and a great destination for those families looking to experience the rainforest. White water rafting, canopy tours, ocean kayaking, mangrove and dolphin tours, night walks and hikes are just a few of the many outdoor activities offered in the area. In particular, Arenas Del Mar is a stunning, luxurious and truly sustainable resort located right on the beach in Manuel Antonio. Comfortable rooms, two pools with spectacular ocean views, access to two stunning beaches, upscale dining in two hotel restaurants with a focus on fresh local products and personalized service that exceeds guest expectations. Arenas Del Mar is the perfect place to enjoy a few days of adventure and fun.

The ecolodge bungalows offer stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and tropical rainforest. A true innovator in conservation and sustainable development, Lapa Rios is truly in a class of its own.
Have a very special time at the exclusive beach resort Latitude 10
The beaches of Santa Teresa are probably some of the most spectacular ones in Costa Rica and a great place to spend some beach time with your family.
Latitude 10 is the ideal destination for an extended family vacation. With only 5 rooms, it can host an extended family for a vacation of a lifetime. The whole resort is available for rent and guests can either make their own food or hire the services of a professional chef.
Enjoy staying in the middle of the jungle surrounded by wildlife, natural vegetation and panoramic ocean views. Adventure activities such as horseback riding on the beach or zipping through rainforest tops await you at Latitude 10 in Santa Teresa.
