Playa Ocotal is a small, secure gated community with a beautiful crescent shaped award-winning beach. It offers bird-watching, hiking, scuba-diving, snorkeling, sailing, deep-sea fishing and water and jet-skiing. The beach is just 5 minutes walk from the villa, as are 3 restaurants.
Day trips include the Volcano Rincon de la Vieja where you can enjoy an adventure-day: horseback riding, tubing, canopy rides, tarzan swing, canyoning, and a volcanic mud bath & hot springs.
Highly recommended is a trip to Palo Verde National Park by boat. This is a birders paradise, but you will also see crocodiles, iguanas, bats and monkeys.
Costa Rica's most famous volcano, Arenal, is a must-see, with cloud and rain forest which can be explored at canopy level through hanging bridges or via an aereal tram with (optional) canopy tour down.
The deep blue waterfall, Llanos de Cortez, is an excellent picnic spot, as are many of the beaches close by.
