You can be out of the pool and into the Pacific Ocean in less than a minute.What an ocean it is - Playa Flamingo is famous for its sunsets, soft sands, and warm water. It's a Blue Flag beach, too. Flamingo is ideal for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, and sunset cruises.<h3>Pure Relaxation&nbsp;</h3>The pool area is right at the front of the resort, a stone's throw away from the beach. Behind the pool, there's a vast, breezy lobby area, and guests will find relaxing hammocks all over the resort while being looked after by the attentive staff.The OnZen spa is open with body treatments, couples massages, and a Jacuzzi for extra relaxation. If you want to pump it up, there's also a fitness center with large windows that look out over the ocean.If the family's idea of relaxation is activities outside the beach, the pool, swim-up bar, a kid's pool and play area, tennis, scuba lessons, nature walks, and more. The family center is where most kids will want to hang out. It offers various games, such as foosball and pool tables, a snack bar, and a small movie theater. Movies are family-friendly, and there's a place to buy popcorn and chocolate bars.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645734755/margaritaville_beach_resort_white_sand_close_up_flamingo_c9f3406456.jpg" alt="margaritaville-beach-resort-white-sand-close-up-flamingo.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645734756/thumbnail_margaritaville_beach_resort_white_sand_close_up_flamingo_c9f3406456.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645734757/small_margaritaville_beach_resort_white_sand_close_up_flamingo_c9f3406456.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645734757/medium_margaritaville_beach_resort_white_sand_close_up_flamingo_c9f3406456.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1645734756/large_margaritaville_beach_resort_white_sand_close_up_flamingo_c9f3406456.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h3>Meals and On-Site Entertainment</h3>Margaritaville offers a wide array of dishes on the three on-site restaurants and swim-up bar, including American and international classics, traditional Costa Rican options, pizza, plus a kids’ menu.The main restaurant, Banana Wind, has a terrace overlooking the beach.

As soon as we landed we were in great hands! Very pleased with our excursions and accommodations. Our driver “Marlon Brando” was awesome. Planning and checking in on us throughout our vacation was appreciated. Thanks, Rachel, our trip was SO enjoyable!

Cindy - Rachel

This was the favorite place for the rest of my family. They all enjoyed the beach and boogie boarding here. The beach location was wonderful! It was very family oriented and much quieter and isolated. While here we did a snorkel boating trip... We even saw a howler monkey as we were leaving. The planned excursions and included transportation throughout our trip in Costa Rica made our trip so much easier to relax as we didn’t have to think about the planning for that.

Misty B - Flamingo Beach

We spent the second half of the trip in Playa Flamingo with an all-inclusive package and it was fantastic. Sunsets on the beach were amazing and we really enjoyed the relaxation! I will never visit Costa Rica without Costa Rican Vacations!
