Playas del Coco is Guanacaste´s most traditional vacation site. Years before the first 5 star hotels were built in places like Puntarenas or Tamarindo, thousands of “Ticos” visited Playas del Coco on their vacations.  As a result, the small town has developed one of the most abundant and diverse nightlife in Costa Rica. From live Country music to every variety of Reggae from around the Caribbean, you are sure to find the place to have a great time and make friends.
