In the middle of the noise and fumes of downtown San José you won’t see too much natural beauty, but if you travel 30 minutes northwest, you will find yourself in a rich garden bursting with tropical vegetation, an enchanting waterfall, and radiant colors flying all around you… if you get lucky, one may even stop to rest on your shoulder, hand, or head.

With a beautiful and graceful Blue Morpho butterfly fluttering and dancing in front of your eyes, we challenge you to think that life is anything but perfect.

This piece of paradise is called La Finca de Mariposas (The Butterfly Farm); created in 1985 by Joris Brinckerhoff and his wife, Maria Sabido, it is composed of a visitor’s center, a meshed garden where 30 to 45 species of butterflies, around 500 flying jewels live, a small laboratory where larvae and pupae are cared for, a gift shop, and The Blue Crowned Motmot Restaurant.

Initially, the place was devoted to a non-traditional export business, providing specimens to exhibits, institutions, and private collectors within Europe and North America. However, since Costa Rica is extremely rich in butterfly species, holding over 5% of the world’s known varieties in 0.0025% of its surface area, the farm started attracting more and more tourists, thus, it was launched as a tourist attraction in 1990.

To begin the tour, visitors watch a short, explanatory video that highlights the importance of wildlife conservation.  Next, you enter a realm of peace and vibrant life, with hundreds of colorful butterflies dancing all around you, where a guide will explain to you the four stages of a butterfly’s life:

-First, the eggs; these are the size of a pinhead and adhere to different plants, depending on the species.

-The larvae, also known as “eating machines” by the farm’s staff, are taken into the lab and offered new plants to feed upon, to keep them safe from natural predators.  Here they will become caterpillars.

-Then, the pupae are formed, and hang like brow leaves or lime-green jewels for 10 days, until one day…

-The adult butterfly works its way out of the chrysalis, lingers for a while to dry off, and then, off it goes to fill the sky with a colorful and beautiful dance in search of another butterfly to do it all over again.

You will be able to experience all of these stages first hand; you will learn all the details, and you will see it happen in front of your very eyes.

The number and species of butterflies you will see changes with the weather, and the time of day and year, nevertheless, you will not be disappointed. 

The only thing that may sadden your day is to know that an adult butterfly only lives about three or four weeks, but then, three to four weeks of spreading such beauty and grace, make up for a lifetime of ordinariness.

This is what you truly take from visiting the farm: the acknowledgement that there are instants of immense beauty in life, and these come and go, true, maybe too soon. However, they are there. You will always hold them in your memory, one you can visit when you are trying to breathe while stuck in hectic traffic, and one that can transport you to a place where life is always in balance and thriving, and where beauty is born without end.

When you can’t take it anymore, you will always have a butterfly… 

For the adventurous family who appreciates the outdoors and time on the water, sports fishing makes for the perfect group activity. Costa Rica’s 800 miles of coastline has a reputation for some of the most spectacular fishing of anywhere in the world. Some of the most fertile fishing grounds lie off Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast. The water surrounding Los Sueños Marina and Herradura Bay is not only a beautiful crystal blue but is home to the hottest fishing spots in the country.
Whether you choose to book a half-day, full-day, or a multi-day fishing excursion, you’re whole family will enjoy the experience and learn about the sport as well as all of Costa Rica’s marine inhabitants. Most of the bilingual captains and mates are local and have been fishing these areas for years, so they know their stuff. The kids have never been fishing before? No problem. The mates will take time to explain all of the basics of fishing to the little ones—from how to bait their own hooks, to how to cast safely, and finally how to successfully reel in the big one.

Novice and expert anglers alike flock to the popular Los Sueños Marina for its short run to these calm seas packed with a huge variety of fish. You’ve never seen fish this big before! The blue and black marlin can easily weigh 600 pounds, and stories of striped marlin fishing in Costa Rica are told around the world. With their power, size, and persistence, they put on an awesome show. Marlins will fight you to the finish, diving down into deep waters, and continuing to dance for you for hours. The beautiful sailfish spend more time in the air than they do in the water during their fight. Have your camera ready to snap some priceless pictures of the fish and the expression on your kids’ faces! The Dorado, or mahi mahi, is an extremely fast-moving fish that can be recognized by its vibrant colors. Out of water, its hues visibly and dramatically change, from their sparkling golden tones and bright blues and greens on their sides and back through muted yellow-grey, giving rise to their Spanish name, Dorado Maverikos or “Golden Maverick”. It’s been estimated that they can reach speeds of 50 mph in short bursts. As if you’re not enticed enough, you’ll also have your chance to land Yellow-Fin Tuna, Roosterfish, Wahoo, and Snapper in these same waters.

Don’t worry about lugging along any of your gear on vacation. The chartered tours provide state of the art big game fishing equipment, including Penn Int and Shimano. Environmentally conscious hook designs allow hooks to set without jerking the rods–an effective method of hooking fish while causing the least amount of damage to the fish for a safe release.

Chartered trips on our luxury vessels also include drinks, snacks, beverages and beer, and lunch (during full day trips). All the planning is done for you. So sit back, relax, and catch the big one you’ve only dreamed about.

Costa Rica is the mecca for adrenaline junkies to experience the best in extreme sports with it’s lush rain forests, raging rivers and some of the best beaches in the world.

This is actually a new event for Costa Rica, which was recently given the green light to host one of the 9 Adventure Race World Series Events at their annual meeting. The other 8 events are scattered around the world and include countries such as Portugal, Poland, Ecuador, Sweden, France and the ARWorld Championship which will be held in Spain in September 30 - October 2010.

The event is set up for up to 30 teams to enter and it’s open to all who can put up with rigorous conditions and are in outstanding physical shape. Some of the events include hiking, biking, kayaking, rappelling and rafting for over 310 miles in some of Costa Rica’s most beautiful and undeveloped areas.

To all our avid fishermen and women I wanted to post our latest fishing report for the first half of March.  It looks like the first week of the month was hot time for both Sailfish and Dorado as well as some Tuna.  We’ll keep posting the fishing reports as we get them to keep you informed about fishing in Costa Rica.

If you’re interested in planning your own Sport Fishing adventure at Los Suenos Resort  make sure to contact Costa Rica Luxury Rentals for an unequaled fishing experience in one of Latin America’s most sophisticated marinas.

The 2010 Signature Billfish Series closed at Los Sueños Resort and Marina on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica and certainly was an exciting week for all! The series wrapped up the second and final leg of competition on February 20, 2010.

This is truly an international event as a total of 43 teams from the United States, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Russia battled it out and released a combined total of 1014 billfish with 994 sailfish and 20 marlin.

We met with a couple of the teams early on in Leg 2, who were in great spirits in spite of some missed opportunities and less-than-terrific luck.

Newcomer “Layla” a 72’ Jim Smith owned by Jim Derrick of Buffalo, NY. And his team just recently moved the boat to Los Sueños after several visits here and a newfound love for fishing out of Los Suenos. Their luck was not with them that first day of competition but their enthusiasm was “off the charts” and the team was ready to tackle the next day’s challenges.

On their fishing trips to Los Sueños , the team from the Layla likes to be right in the center of the action and enjoys renting fully equipped luxury condominiums for their stays at the resort.

We also chatted with co-owners of the Ol Salt, Shawn Kooyman and Los Sueños resident Michael Topp and whose team fought quite a battle. They ran into a variety of pitfalls and finally arrived exhausted about 11 PM after the first day out knowing that Thursday’s catch would be disqualified from the count as they missed the cut off time to turn in their daily score sheets. The second day of tournament week was a tough one for the old Salt as well with only a few bites for the day, they did manage to get “on the board” scoring 100 points with one sailfish on Friday. The boys from the Ol Salt still had a great attitude and were ready to head out for the final day, finishing with another sailfish on Saturday for a Second Leg total of 200 points.

Both legs of the 2010 tournament had some very close scores throughout the competition. In Leg 1, some of the scores were so close in fact that with so many teams tied, the winners had to be decided by time. Those with the earliest, official times of release break the ties and determined who came out on top.
This was the case for the Top Angler award in the first leg going to Los Sueños Developer and Innovator, Bill Royster.

This year’s 1st leg winners on the Cerveza are are relative newcomers to the Los Sueños Marina but definitely no strangers to fishing or to taking top awards! The Cerveza team, although did not make it this time in the money, fought hard again in the 2nd leg and did finish respectably in the top ten.

Owner Tom Russell, a regular guest with CR Luxury Rentals is on a great run in the competition here in Costa Rica. He’s been fishing the Cerveza here since December of 2008.

The guys say they owe so much of their success to the Captain of the Cerveza, Butch Davis who is called “The Secret Weapon” & El Capitan” by his team.

Spanish Fly tied with Fuujin at 1700 points but beat their last time taking the 3rd Place position in Leg II and team member Ronnie Fields was Leg II’s Top Angler.

Owner Jeff Cohen’s, Los Sueños based Da Bait, a 61’ Spencer, moved up from 16th place in Leg I to a spectacular 2nd Place win in Leg II with 13 Sails and a late surprise Marlin nabbed by Angler Bob Burnside which threw the team into the second place position. Da Bait finished with 2,700 points and taking 2nd place prize money of $28,000. Captain Curt Lind of Palm Beach, Florida, dubbed Captain Marvel by his teammates also led Da Bait to win the “Daily” with 800 points on Saturday of Leg II.

Cohen says there are many factors that helped them reach their position in the tournament…. When asked how they rose to the occasion he said that fishing with his closest friend and business associate, Pat Parenty as well as the tremendous amount of love and camaraderie among the entire team is the real key that helped them shoot to this year’s success.

It seems 2nd Place may hold some magic along with luck, skill and hard work. In Leg 1, the 2nd Place team aboard another “newcomer”, Big Oh, missed the win by only 300 points. Although definitely happy with finishing in the top three they weren’t going to settle for “second best”!
In Leg 2, They took the lead on Thursday and held steady even with a really slow Saturday they came out on top. The Big Oh finished in first place without a single Marlin, not only taking 1st Place in Leg II but taking top honors as Overall Winner with total prize money of $144,000.

Feel free to contact our Diamond Concierge Service Toll Free 7 Days a week to fulfill your requests.

The holidays are over, it’s January again already, and you’re dreading spending another semester break back in your hometown. Instead of wasting your days just waiting for your free time to come to an end, why not spend some fun-filled days or weeks in Costa Rica? Bring your best girlfriends or your best guy friends, or a mix of both, and escape to one of today’s hottest vacation destinations.

Costa Rica is the perfect place for a spontaneous quick getaway or a longer stay during your month off. Take an easy and reasonably priced flight from your local airport and arrive at any of the country’s two international hubs—San Jose or Liberia. With a well-architected infrastructure, it’s easy to get yourself around once you arrive. Take quick flights within the country to reach your favorite places as soon as possible; rent a car and have the freedom to get up and go any time; or use the highly reliable bus system that reaches all corners of the country. Costa Rica is the safest nation in Central America, and you’ll find that the local people are friendly and accommodating, always reaching out to help new visitors and make new friends.

You and your buddies can spend days relaxing at the beach, warming up in Costa Rica’s many hot spring spots, or a hanging out at the spa and pool. Sign up for group surf lessons and learn how to ride the waves, or maybe try out kayaking or windsurfing.

Although Costa Rica is well-known for its gorgeous, seemingly endless miles of coastlines, there’s more to the country than fun in the sun. Its rainforests, exotic wildlife, and outdoor adventures provide hours of entertainment. Protected lands and national parks are a big draw for ecotourism. You and your friends can see monkeys and toucans in their natural environments, or experience your first active volcano up close at the rim. On a hike through the cloud and rainforests, a guide can teach you the names of all the indigenous vibrant flowers and vegetation.

Need to fit in some hard-core studious hours during your stay? No problem—there are a wide variety of educational and cultural-enriching opportunities to be had throughout Costa Rica as well. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced Spanish classes are offered all over the country. You can enroll in classes for a few days or weeks at a time. If you want an even more fulfilling cultural immersion, opt for a homestay while in Costa Rica. Most Spanish schools can arrange for you to live with a local family who only speaks Spanish. This way you can get in even more language-speaking time and you can learn about the culture first hand.

Guys and gals alike have been flocking to Costa Rica for years now for the surf spots alone. Currently, surf tourism makes up approximately 20 percent of the country’s annual tourists—this means about 200,000 surfers visit the country each year just to ride some of the world’s most incredible waves.

Surf spots are easily found up and down Costa Rica’s Pacific (west side) and Caribbean (east side) coastlines. Waves on the North Pacific Coast are generally a bit smaller than ones you’ll see in high season (December through April) and during tropical storms on the Caribbean. But the waves are consistently good year-round. During rainy season (April to mid-December), you’ll find the best swells on the Pacific side, but during the dry season on the west coast (December through April), you’ll continuous well-formed waves.

The Caribbean Coast on the east has a notoriously shorter, less reliable surfing season, but the frequent tropical storms and hurricanes often equal killer swells. In general, the surf is best during the hot and dry season (October until April).
Water temperatures don’t vary that much on either side or throughout the seasons—the water is more than comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius) all year long.

The more than 800 miles of Pacifc and Caribbean Ocean coastline are home to many of the top international surfing competitions every year. This past August, Billabong hosted the ISA World Surfing Games 2009 in Playa Hermosa. A seemingly endless volcanic, black sand beach just 5 minutes south of the popular tourist destination of Jacó (10 minutes south of Los Sueños), Play Hermosa is the ideal location for more experienced surfers. Playa Hermosa is an especially ideal location because its waves break only 13 feet from shore. With steady, 4 to 8-foot-high waves and warm Pacific waters, you can catch quality rides all day long.

Beginner and intermediate surfers don’t fear. The nearby town of Jacó offers surfing lessons for all levels taught by local and international experienced surfers speaking a variety of languages. Spend a day or a week in the water—many different surf packages are available and can be organized in advance or on a day-by-day basis. Surfing is so appealing in this area that Jaco is now known as the “Land of Adventures and City of Surf.” Surf by day and take advantage of all the nightlife, restaurants, and convenience of a bustling, small town during your time out of the water.

For an even more chilled-out vibe, try Mal Pais and Santa Teresa located on the tip of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula and just an hour boat ride from Jacó. This very small community is tucked away along golden beaches with a breathtaking backdrop of green vegetation. An ideal location for surfers looking for a remote, individual surfing experience with no frills and just good waves in a beautiful atmosphere. Here you can find your surfing zone and get away from it all.

If you want a true surfing adventure, travel to Puerto Viejo (Salsa Brava) on the Caribbean side. This Hawaiian-style reefbreak is known around the world for its size and power. When there is a swell, the biggest waves in Costa Rica break right here. You need to paddle in and out through a small channel in the reef. Experienced and adrenaline-seeking surfers only! If you want more variety, a mile or so south you’ll find Playa Cocles, a consistent beachbreak, and a few more miles south of that is Punta Uva.

Wherever you and your board go, don’t forget your rash guard and lots of sunscreen to protect yourself against the Costa Rican sun.

You guys need time off from the girls just as much as they need time off from you. Instead of planning a night out to escape the feminine frills and chatter, why not opt for a full-blown vacation? Costa Rica is your best bet for an adventure getaway where you can bond with your buddies. Sports, fishing, physically challenging activities, beautiful beaches, nightlife, and much more make this country ideal for your guys-only retreat.

In and On the Water

Dying to test out the waters? Enjoy your favorite water sports anywhere along Costa Rica’s hundreds of miles of untouched coastline. Have you always wanted to learn how to surf? Minutes from Los Sueños Resorts, Jaco has some of the best breaks in Central America. Enroll in a local surf school and take lessons from the pros. Costa Rica holds world-class surfing competitions each year, attracting the top surfers from around the globe—and you can be mastering the killer waves alongside the champions.

The fresh catch of the day could be your yellow-fin tuna. Round up the boys, grab your reels and rods, and spend a day fishing out at sea. Costa Rica is renowned for its game sport fishing and deluxe chartered vessels. Herradura Bay and the waters off of Los Seunos Resort are home to pacific sailfish, marlin, and Dorado, among others. You’re guaranteed to a hook the big one with the pictures to prove it.

If you want to know what’s down below, become a certified scuba diver on your trip—or just stick to the snorkel—but either way you and the guys can check out the thousands of colorful tropical fish and coral and swim with the stingrays, turtles, and sharks that add to the exotic landscape views above. Paddle out with a kayak, explore the coves and cliffs, or dive 50-feet from a waterfall. Whatever you’re up for, we can arrange the adventure for you.

Tee Time

For a chance to get a little healthy competition among the boys underway, don’t forget about Los Sueños’ 18-hole, 72-par golf course situated among the rainforest and banana trees. PGA-qualified professional are on staff to help you perfect your swing, and caddies will not only suggest your clubs, but also act as your eco guide, pointing out all of the monkeys, sloths, and tucans along the way.

Into the Night

Once the sun sets, you and your buddies can kick back with a hand-rolled cigar, gourmet food and drinks, and experience the nightlife. Live music, dancing, bars, beach bonfires, and casinos make this the ultimate spot for boys to be boys. Mingle and relax those muscles in the jacuzzis and pools scattered throughout the Los Sueños property, taking full advantage of the swim-up bar. You’ve had a long day!

No Hassle

We know no on wants to cook, clean, or do laundry on vacation. No worries—you and your buddies won’t need to lift a finger. Our vacation rentals come with full maid services, 24-hour room service from our acclaimed restaurants, internet access, and Diamond Concierge Service to arrange for all of your travel, activities, and anything else you may need while away from home.

Bachelor parties, Father’s Day, or a big birthday celebration—there are so many reasons to get away to Costa Rica any time with the guys.

So, you’re planning a getaway with the guys? You want to go someplace special, with beautiful beaches, deep sea fishing, golf, horseback riding, sightseeing, swimming, surfing, fine restaurants, night time entertainment and all the other amenities of a five star resort, BUT, do you really think it’s going to work staying in a luxury hotel?

Let’s face it, luxury hotels are just not really a guy thing. They’re more a of a girl thing, great when you want to take the wife or the girlfriend some place and you know she wants to feel pampered and special and get treated like she doesn’t get treated at home.

When you go with the wife or the girlfriend you give her what she wants and you stay in a luxury hotel. You’ll have luxury restaurants, 24 hour a day room service and a room that’s fine for just the two of you, especially since you won’t be spending any more time in the room than necessary, anyway. This can work even if you’re traveling with another guy, as long as it’s one other guy and not a bunch of guys.

Two of you can fit in one hotel room. Sure there’s not much room and absolutely no privacy, but if you’re really good friends you can make it work, at least for a couple of days, anyway. But when you’re really planning a getaway for the “guys”, four, five or six guys, not just two of you, then hotels, even five star luxury hotels, just won’t cut it.

No matter how expensive or luxurious they are, hotel rooms are not made for partying, well, at least not the kind of partying that involves five or six friends who are traveling together because they want to spend some time together. Things get awfully crowded in a hotel room once there are more than two or three guys.

So, what are you going to do? After all, you’re not college students anymore. You’re grown men, so you’re not just going to sleep on the beach. Well guys, here’s a secret. Now you can have your cake and eat it too. You can stay at the world-class Los Suenos Resort and Marina at beautiful Jaco Beach, Costa Rica and get all the resort amenities without being cramped into tiny hotel rooms.

The hotel is right there at the resort, a five star Marriott, with all the fine restaurants and entertainment you could want including a fabulous casino and a beautiful golf course, but even the rooms at the Marriott can’t begin to compare to the spacious luxury and comfort of your own luxury condo.

That’s right. We said condo.

Now wait a second, don’t laugh.

You’re guys on the vacation of a lifetime, so you’re not going to let something silly like a stove, scare you off, are you? You know better than that. Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean you ever have to use it. We don’t have any Kitchen Police forcing you to cook and unless one of you is an amateur chef, why would you want to, with all those great restaurants just a short walk away?

If one of you is an amateur chef, you’ll find everything you need and more to indulge your fantasies, with all the gourmet kitchen appliances you could dream of. But, if you’re just a bunch of regular guys, then a gourmet kitchen just means a bigger refrigerator. You get more room to store the beer and the pitchers of cold Margaritas and to make more ice cubes. That’s okay too. We don’t mind.

We know that to regular guys, cooking means barbecuing; not fooling around with a stove. And barbecuing means Man food, like fresh game fish. You fight it, you catch it and haul it in and then before you have it stuffed so you can mount the trophy on your wall, you bring it home to your luxury condo, your home away from home and fire up the barbie. Break out the cold beer and margaritas and it’s party time, a real reward for all the effort you put in catching that beauty in the first place and a lot tastier than a trophy mounted on the wall.

Worried that you’ll all get sick of each other, being in the same condo together all the time? Don’t worry. First of all, you’ll still have private bedrooms when you want to be alone and you’ll be spending plenty of time apart. With all the variety of activities from golf to swimming and surfing to deep sea fishing and river rafting and horseback riding, to hiking through the rain forest, visiting a volcano or one of the fabulous national parks, there’s almost no way that you’ll all agree on what to do all the time.

However, when you want to be together and enjoy each other’s company, you’ll have the room to do it in comfort, guy-style, with room to spread out and relax and feel at home, not all crammed into one small hotel room, pretending that the lack of space doesn’t really bother you.

We’ll even let you in on another secret. With all those great activities to choose from, we know that guys don’t like to plan and make a bunch of phone calls and arrangements. Guys want to get out and go, without hassles or annoyances. That’s why we have our luxury concierge service to do all your planning and make all your arrangements for you. Golf, fishing, dinner, entertainment, horseback riding, guided tours, or customized individual getaways, just tell the concierge and they will do the rest. That’s right. You get all the convenience and amenities of a five star luxury hotel without the drawbacks.

So, the choice is yours. You can either settle for an ordinary, traditional, pre-packaged luxury vacation, with someone else deciding where you should go and what you should do when and a two person hotel room for your “home away from home”, OR, you can opt for something totally different, YOUR luxury guys’ getaway on YOUR terms, with a home away from home so luxurious and comfortable and right in the middle of everything you want to do, that you’ll never want to leave.

And guess what? You might not have to. One trip to our luxury rental condos at the renowned Los Suenos Beach Resort and Marina at beautiful Jaco Beach, may convince you to stay and buy a condo of your own, so that you can enjoy the benefits of resort living year round.

Stranger things have happened and once you experience the unparalleled beauty and luxury of Los Suenos Resort and Marina, you too will understand. It’s a guy thing. We’ll just keep the maid service and the concierge and the general level of luxury care and service a secret. We’ll never tell anyone that real guys like to be taken care of and waited on hand and foot and pampered like a bunch of spoiled princesses at a beauty spa - when they aren’t too busy out doing manly things.

We’ll just keep that part our little secret and when you get home you can tell everyone how luxury hotels are fine for women, but real guys don’t need all that fancy stuff. They know how to rough it on their own, and so they stay in condos. Nobody else has to know that “roughing it” really means being taken care of 24 hours a day and even having first class medical facilities on site to deal with those sports injuries or other emergencies. After all, it’s a guy thing, so we’ll keep it just between us.
