Costa Rica is one of the favorite traveling options for all who are fascinated in visiting a tropical country, especially if they are interested in nature and wildlife. This also means there is a broad touristic industry that makes selecting a hotel in Guanacaste Liberia a hard job.

What do the facilities count with?
When examining a hotel, it does not only matter to consider the surrounding activities, but also what the space counts. In terms of comfort, all rooms have AC, towels, bedsheets, and private bathrooms, while the lodge itself at only 550 meters from the beach possesses:

An open-air restaurant

Additionally, we provide room service, concierge service, and support for organizing excursions or booking any service you may need, such as renting bikes for cyclist in the surrounding solarium.
Outside the hotel – what can you do nearby?
Finding a good space to stay is important, and so is the planning for the rest of your trip, especially if you have never visited Costa Rica and enjoyed its Pura Vida philosophy. There are plenty of activities available, and the Blue Zone Resort can help you make the required bookings for them.
Extreme activities and relaxation
Fans of adrenaline will enjoy the waves of Playa Avellana and Playa Negra. Whether you only need the rental surfboard service or want a 90-minute lesson from professionals in the area, both services can be provided through the hotel.
If you would rather explore the Costa Rican jungle, then you should ask about the zip-lining tours. You will enjoy the nature as you go through the canopy, with different levels suited for all fitness levels. These tours last from 3 to 4 hours. They include transport to and from the lodge.
If you want to do a lighter activity, you can sail along the shoreline in an afternoon trip where you will delight in swimming, snorkeling, and a lunch with free drinks before the sunset.
After a long tough day of intense activity, you can relax by practicing yoga and guided meditation in beautiful locations near the hotel, or receiving massages, facials, or other spa treatments. You may also enjoy the thermal hot springs located near Rio Negro. Heated by the largest volcano in Guanacaste, Rincón de la Vieja, you will be able to delight in the warm waters and the volcanic mud with therapeutic properties.
Eco tourism
Near the eco-lodge, the Área de Conservación Guanacaste counts with wild biodiversity, containing at least two-thirds of the endangered animals of Costa Rica. There are guides to the national parks in the area, which include the Santa Rosa, Guanacaste, and Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Parks.
You may also relish other activities, such as horseback riding. Whether you are new to horses or a long-time fan of them, you will enjoy the ride. You can book this tour from the resort, and choose between an escapade in the surrounding forests, or a laidback ride on the beach.
For those who are looking for more wildlife, the crocodile riverboat cruise is your ideal choice. Not only will you see crocodiles in the banks of the Tempisque River, but also other fauna such as different birds species, iguanas, and even monkeys. The route is done on a shaded boat in the morning, and lasts about 2 hours, after which you will arrive at a historic rancho for a traditional lunch.
If you like mingling your sightseeing of nature with physical activities, you will appreciate swimming in the tropical waters surrounding Catalina Islands. There are spectacular rock formations, reefs, colorful fishes, and, if you are lucky, manta rays, dolphins, or sharks.
