Playa Herradura is a beautiful black sand beach complete with palm trees and aqua green water. Until the last ten years Playa Herradura was mostly unknown but was a popular spot for campers and people who wanted to get away from the hustle of Jaco. But due to the marina and a large resort Playa Herradura has become a much more traveled destination. However Playa Herradura still does not have the amount of tourist as nearby Jaco.
Playa Herradura
To get to Playa Herradura turn off the Costanera Sur about 4 km north of the turn off to Jaco, follow this road for 3 km and you will arrive at the beach of Playa Herradura.
Herradura was a small beach overlooked by the tourism industry until a mega development discovered its potential and put it on the map. Ever since then, it has become the high-end tourism capital of the region.
Set on a 1,100 acre (500 ha) property surrounded by protected rainforest, the Marriot Hotel at Los Sueños resort has taken luxurious getaways to a whole new level. The Spanish colonial style architecture, horizon pool with swim-up bar, a Ted Robinson designed 18-hole golf course, spa, fitness center, more than 200 rooms featuring mountain and ocean views, and first-class service seem like a dream come true.
The resort's Marina is its pride and joy. More than 200 luxury sport fishing yachts anchor in its waters but guests can also take advantage of charter companies that offer trips out to sea. Several sport fishing events are also held in the Marina, famous for quality and quantity of fish.
Six restaurants and lounges offer culinary art ranging from elegant multi-course meals to casual food with a dash of style. The bartenders will whip up anything you ask them for because they are trained to please.
Some visitors come to Los Sueños and never leave. The resort also has residential areas where deluxe condos can be purchased. The price isn't small, but according to proud owners, definitely worth it.
If you want to visit this dreamland, be sure to make reservations well in advance because they're at maximum capacity for years on end.
