Visit Jaco - 5 Things You Will Love & Hate about Jaco, Costa Rica
Jaco, Costa Rica is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Costa Rica for good reason. There are amazing beaches, plenty of activities, friendly Ticos (people from Costa Rica) and a good tourist infrastructure, however there are some drawbacks to this great place, one being the tourist nature of the town which takes away some of the Tico-ness of the city, the riptides that can be dangerous and the resort centric feel of certain parts of town.

Welcome to Frog TV -- I'm Adam Baker.
I'm reporting from the luxury, boutique hotel--Villa Buena Onda, here in Guanacaste, Costa Rica's most northern region and the theme for this video.
This province has plenty tours and activities, as well as some wonderful culture and wildlife. It also has some best hotels and resorts found in Costa Rica. So let's have a look --
at some of the highlights.
Guanacaste is the most popular destination in Costa Rica for visitors. Mainly due to its beautiful, sun drenched beaches that stretch along the north-west coastline.
The close proximity of the provincial capital: Liberia - along with its International Airport - means most of the hotels and resorts are less than 1 hour away.
It is the most sparsely populated area of Costa Rica, and so offers many, amazing natural vistas across the mountainous countryside - down to the golden coastline.
The Guanacasteco culture is unique in Costa Rica, and is historically set apart from the rest of the country, with its laid back, relaxed lifestyle much of which is focused around the cultivation of the land and the local 'Sabaneros'.
The area receives little rainfall and has consistent, excellent weather from November to April, resulting in striking tropical dry-forest surroundings and rich wildlife.
There are many great tours in the area. The Buena Vista Tour will take you above -- and below the Canopy of the forest, and the thermal volcanic hot springs are the perfect place to relax after a long, adventurous day.
Discover the rich, aquatic life in the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean, whilst diving in amongst the famous Catalina Islands. Here you will find over 25 great dive spots that are popular with many divers.
Some of Costa Rica's best - sports-fishing, is found along Guanacaste's shoreline, offering up plenty of good catches.
For entertainment and nightlife, look no further than the town of Tamraindo. Renowned for its world-class surfing and chilled-out party scene makes Tamarindo an exciting option for tourists.
Guanacaste offers the best choice in Costa Rica for luxury hotels and resorts. You will find many great, world renowned names such as the The Hilton, The Four Seasons and the JW Marriot.
The Westin Conchal - stands out for its unrivaled location on the beautiful Conchal beach, along with its tantalizing,
all-inclusive meal plan.
This 5 Star resort offers a number of great activities on site and is only 45 minutes away from the Liberia Airport.
A smaller option might be the Cala Luna hotel.
It's found just a stone's throw away from the sea, in a peaceful, serene setting just outside the town of Tamarindo. Cala Luna offers fine, eloquent Villas and Suites that cater to groups, families and couples.
For a true luxurious, authentic experience of Guanacaste visit the boutique Villa Buena Onda Hotel. Hidden, in the secluded hills above the relaxed town of Coco, will you find this exquisite, 7 bedroom property that is only 20 minutes away from the airport.
The spacious ocean view suites make it perfect location for romantic escapes. It can also be rented as a private Villa for families and groups.
The personalized service is unsurpassed, and with the delicious, meal plan - means you'll experience a true sense of the area, in an unforgettable setting.
So, that wraps up this video for Costa Rica's gold coast, here in Guanacaste. And as you can see behind me, the beaches are absolutely beautiful. Now I'm heading down to Costa Rica's Central Pacific Coast to check out some of the rainforest.
Reporting for Frog TV, I'm Adam Baker.
Hasta La Proxima.

Manuel Antonio Costa Rica
Hey, DAngelo and michael alan from the Costa Rica Travel Channel. We hadn't been in Manuel Antonio for about 4 years and decided it was time to repay it a visit. Things have changed. Manuel Antonio is still beautiful, but what happened? Check out this video to see our take on one of Costa Rica's top tourist destinations. And if you're ever in la Fortuna Costa Rica, by all means, stop in and say Hey. But don't forget the bottle of Cacique...hehe With a mere 682 ha. of land area, Manuel Antonio National Park is one of the smallest of Costa Rica's national parks, but probably the most visited park in Costa Rica. The park lies on the mid Pacific coast approximately 7 kms south of Quepos Harbour. White sandy beaches, cliffs, ravines, rivers, rainforest, mangrove swamps, lagoons, littoral woodland and island vegetation are the main components that make up this extraordinary park. Video: Manuel Antonio National Park The forest habitat consists mostly of White-Faced Capuchin, howler and squirrel monkeys, pacas, grey squirrels, raccoons, white-nosed coatis, and two- and three- toed sloths. The laughing falcon, black-colored hawk, white ibis, white-bellied chachalaca, blue-crowned manakin, fiery-billed aracari, green kingfisher, toucans, scarlet macaws are just some of the bird species that reside in the park. The islands and islets of Manuel Antonio afford an essential refuge for the various sea birds in the area, such as Brown Pelican, frigate birds and Ahingas. The lagoons in the park are home to caymans, boa constrictors, and grass snakes to name a few. In total, the park houses a total of 109 species of mammals and 184 of birds. Part of the park's scenic beauty is provided by Cathedral Point, a 72 meter-high point of land that is covered by rain forest. The point was formerly an island just off the mainland, but ocean currents caused the deposition of sand between the two until eventually they were connected. The park's two most frequented beaches, Manuel Antonio and Espadilla Sur, are the sandy arcs on either side of the narrow strip of land that joins Cathedral Point with the mainland. Due to the small size of the park and the massive amounts of visitors it receives, much of the wildlife that can be found here is quite acclimated to human presence and will allow close approach, especially the White-throated Capuchin Monkeys, Central American Squirrel Monkeys (This is also one of only two areas in the country where the endangered Central American Squirrel Monkey is found, Brown-throated Three-toed Sloths, White-nosed Coatis, Central American Agoutis and Ctenosaur Lizards. [Note: These are still wild animals and should be respected and treated as such, enjoy the opportunity for a close look, but do not attempt to touch or feed them!] Butterflies, birds, and large colorful land crabs are more of the plentiful inhabitants that provide interest during a trail walk through the park. And, if the waters are clear enough, a variety of marine life can be seen by snorkeling around the rocky ends of either beach. The three main beaches of the park are Playas Espadilla Sur, Manuel Antonio and Puerto Escondido.
