Food scene
Walking distance from the apartment. Mar Azul sources the freshest Papagayo seafood around. They pair their catch of the day with a dose of Costa Rican culture to serve delicious homemade dishes. What’s more, the restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining around a beautiful swimming pool.

Meanwhile you will enjoy a beautiful walk in a Italian style town you can also visit Las Catalinas restaurants include Casa Chameleon’s exquisite Sentido Norte, the Mediterranean cuisine at Santarena’s Poinciana, and more casual options like the beachfront Limonada or the family-oriented La Taqueria, plus a bakery and a deli. Also, it has a black sand beach so I would plan to go there at least for half day.

Day trips
Arenal is one of the most beautiful destinations in Costa Rica. Although is about a 4 hour drive one way from Coco, it makes for a really fun day trip. At Arenal, you will experience the rainforest and volcano.
I actually recommend spending a couple nights in both areas if possible but if not, a day trip gives you a wonderful taste of the many different natural landmarks, ecosystems and micro-climates that exist in Costa Rica.
