Costa Rica's Santa Teresa Wins Top Honors Among Central America Beaches

Costa Rica  wins top tourism honors again!  Costa Rica  nabbed  12 out of 25 spots  for “Top 25 Destinations in Central America” in the  2012 Trip Advisor Traveler’s Choice Awards. The internationally renowned travel web site gave  Costa Rican establishments  11 awards for “Top 25 Hotels in Central America.”  And coming in at  Number One for “Best Beach in Central America” is the country’s newly famous Santa Teresa Beach! This makes it the second year in a row that Santa Teresa has placed in the top 10.

Santa Teresa Beach, a little fishing village turned into a rising “off-the-track” tourism gem, lies on the southwestern tip of  Costa Rica’s  Nicoya Peninsula  along the rugged  Pacific Coast. Known for its romantic tropical landscapes, spectacular sunsets, epic surf breaks and long wide beaches, Santa Teresa is your quintessential tropical paradise. Picture it … soft powdery white sand, thundering cobalt blue waves rolling onto shore, soft breezes wafting playfully over you as you lounge in the shade of coconut palms, and a warm yellow sun dazzling a zillion sparkles across the water. Your Santa Teresa beachfront oasis,  Hotel Tropico Latino, sits right along this tropical beach paradise in a wide, peaceful garden. Tropico Latino features a full-service  Spa, a  yoga  studio with daily classes and activities, surfing and surf instruction right out in front of the hotel, regular  yoga and surf retreats, and an award-winning open-air beachfront restaurant nationally-recognized for its  organic international cuisine.

Their exquisitely-designed tropical bungalows and suites, built with exotic hardwoods, are surrounded by abundant tropical gardens, giving you the feeling of landing in Shangri-La. Relax by their beachside pool or lounge in a hammock under a grove of coconut and almond trees as you watch a breathtaking sunset. Best of all, enjoy a professional massage while you listen to the rhythm of the waves at the ocean's edge. Hotel Tropico Latino is a  Trip Advisor “Certificate of Excellence” winner.
