Costa Rica Beaches - The Central Pacific (Puntarenas)

Come visit the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica's Central Pacific, like Jaco Beach, Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Dominical, and Puntarenas.
Jaco Beach Hotels: High-end & Mid-range
Many mid-range and high-end Jaco beach hotels are all-inclusive. Personally, I recommend opting out, and trying some of the diverse restaurants in Jaco.
