<p align="left">New Years is just around the corner and now is the time to  get your priorities for 2012 in order.   You probably have some ideas of how you would like to spend your next  year: spending more time with family, enjoying life, traveling more, saving  some money, the list goes on and on.   This holiday season why not start your year off right by taking your  family on a trip of a lifetime and buy some plane tickets and book a <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/" title="Vacation Rentals and Property Management by Horizon Pacific Vacations"><strong>Costa Rica vacation rental</strong></a>.  Take your family on an adventure that  includes tons of new experiences, foods, culture, and a whole lot of fun. </p>
<p align="left">Costa Rica is a beautiful country to visit  during the chilly months of December and January.  The weather is very warm with a breeze and  very little rainfall.  Your family will  love going back to work and school from their winter vacations with a nice  tropical glow and tons of stories to brag about to their peers and  co-workers.  If your looking to save a  little money as well this year you could check out hotel deals or a self-catering <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/Costa-Rica-Rental-Properties/costa-rica-rental-properties.html" title="Costa Rica Rental Properties"><strong>Costa Rica rental properties</strong></a>  if your trying to budget. This can help save on  food to give you a little extra to spend on great activities and instead enjoy  just a few unforgettable meals out on the town.</p>

</center>
</p>
<p align="left">Maybe some of your New Year’s resolutions include getting in  some more exercise.  <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html" title="Tamarindo Vacation Rentals"><strong>Vacation rentals in Tamarindo</strong></a>  offer beachfront properties that you can crawl out of bed and surf in the  morning.  If your looking to ease into  the whole exercise concept you can instead enjoy long walks on the beach and  catch some of the most beautiful sunsets around.  </p>
<p align="left">Is trying new things is on your bucket list.? Some new  <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/Costa-Rica-Activities/activities-in-costa-rica-horizon-pacific.html" title="Costa Rica Vacation Activities"><strong>activities</strong></a> for you and your family may include zip-lining, or exploring the  rain forest.  Perhaps some paddle  boarding or kayaking would fill your need for some sunshine. Maybe some foreign  cuisine is more your flavor.  You can try  the typical Costa Rican Casados, which include the delicious and local Gallo  Pinto and the sweet plantain also called maduros.  There are also a variety of fresh fish caught  and prepared on a daily basis on local fishing boats. </p>
<p align="left">An enjoyable stay at one of the many fine <strong>Tamarindo vacation rentals</strong> may just be the holiday your family needs before  starting the busy year, and what better way to ring in the New Year then with  family.  Accomplish some of your New  Years resolutions early this year and explore the beaches, rainforests, and  beautiful cities in Costa Rica.  Don’t  let another year go by with regrets of working too much, not spending time with  the family, and doing the same old trips year in and year out.  Ring in the New Year  with some adventure and an amazing tan!</p>

<p align="left">Whether  booking for your employee, family, a group of friends, or just to get away from  it all, this holiday season look into some vacation rentals in Tamarindo to find the best rental  for the end of 2011.</p>
<p align="left">Just another Holiday work party?  Here is a great idea for all of those  corporate offices out there: Book a <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/index.html" title="Costa Rica Vacation Rentals">Costa Rica Vacation Rental</a> and give out the gift that keeps on  giving.  The perfect prize for your top  selling sales person, or maybe a vacation get away for your top work team of  the year.  Boost morale this holiday  season and announce that the big Christmas bonus this year is a beautiful beach  side vacation for all of your top employees to enjoy.  </p>
</div>
<p><span id="more-875"></span></p>
<div style="width: 95%; margin: auto;">
<p align="left">We all know how it feels to need a little vacation. Perhaps it’s  not in the budget this year for all of your employees but that doesn’t mean  that you and your family can’t take full advantage! Check out some <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html" title="Vacation Rentals in Tamarindo">Vacation Rentals in Tamarindo</a>  and plan a family vacation that your kids or significant other will never  forget. </p>
<div style="width: 500px; margin: auto;"><div id="attachment_877" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html"><img src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/costa-rica-vacations.jpg" alt="Costa Rica Vacation Accommodation" title="Vacation Accommodation" width="500" height="255" class="size-full wp-image-877" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Costa Rica Vacation Rental Accommodation</p></div></div>
<p align="left">Sure, every Christmas we all imagine a beautiful horse lead  carriage running through the snow and a warm cracking fire next to the  Christmas tree.  This year when you book  your <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/index.html" title="Costa Rica Vacation Rentals">Costa Rica Vacation Rental</a><a href="#"></a> you will exchange all of that for surfing in the warm waters of  the Pacific Ocean, enjoying the toasty sunshine and tropical environment you  have always dreamed of.  Take time to  truly relax this Christmas vacation and come back to the  office with a healthy glow and endless tales of your beachside adventures.</p>
<p align="left">Whether  booking for your employee, family, a group of friends, or just to get away from  it all, this holiday season look into some vacation rentals in Tamarindo to find the best rental  for the end of 2011. Kick off the New Years in style and start the New Year  refreshed and ready for what 2012 may send your way.  Don’t let another winter vacation come by  with its blistering cold and shattered dreams of a tropical paradise vacation.  Instead imagine this winter sunbathing,  enjoying a plate of tropical fruits, and ending the night with a beautiful  sunset wile walking along the warm sandy beach. </p>
<p align="left">Guess this year we need to ask Santa for a new swim suit and pair of  flip flops. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s  that time of year again, Christmas decorations are starting to go up, deals and  discounts at retail stores everywhere, and the Sunday paper is nothing but  advertisements and coupons.  Thanksgiving  is known for amazing food, family, and entertainment.  A new idea this holiday season is to check  out <strong><a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/" title="Costa Rica Vacation Rentals and Property Management">Costa Rica Vacation Rentals</a></strong>.  Sure it might be a little harder to find a  holiday turkey and seasonal dinner but you will not miss out on amazing food  and a great time. </p>
<p>In Costa Rica the average annual temperature is  around 70 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit and the coolest months of the year are  November, December and January.   This  translates to amazing winter weather.   Rainy season is pretty much done and high tourism hasn&#8217;t kicked in  yet.  This lets you experience Costa Rica  at its finest. </p>
</div>
<p><span id="more-850"></span></p>
<div style="width: 95%; margin: auto;">
<p>The beaches are amazing this time of year.  Waves are great, and its warm without being  too hot.  <strong><a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html" title="Tamarindo Vacation Rentals">Tamarindo Vacation Rentals</a></strong> are a great way to go if you want a  beautiful place to stay that you can stretch out and treat like your home away  from home.  </p>
<p>Thanksgiving all booked up? Consider December or  January.  Take the stress out of the  holidays and dig your feet into the sand and enjoy some of the most beautiful  sunsets around.  Your family will never  forget that &#8220;one year&#8221; you spent at the <strong>Tamarindo  Vacation Rental</strong> that over looked the beach, and you woke up early just  because you couldn&#8217;t wait for the next days adventure. </p>
<p>Costa Rica is a beautiful playground that has a vast  array of adventures for all types of travelers.  From the mellow sky walks in Arenal and the  Hot Springs, to the bold zip lines in Monte Verde and ATV-ing throughout the  country, to the extreme rafting of the Sarapiqui River or snorkeling with  sharks and rays on the Caribbean side. </p>
<p>This holiday season get your cameras ready and book  your tickets to Costa Rica.  Find the <strong><a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/Costa-Rica-Rental-Properties/costa-rica-rental-properties.html" title="Explore our Costa Rica Vacation Rentals">Costa Rica Vacation Rental</a></strong> of your  dreams and pack your summer clothes.  The  memories you will be sure to create are those types of gifts that just keep on  giving.</p>

<p align="left">In the Northern Pacific, Negra Beach, Potrero with its perfect wind conditions, and Witch&#8217;s Rock with its multiple surf breaks are particularly good places to stay in Costa Rica. Some of the world&#8217;s most dependable waves are found on Hermosa Beach in the Central Pacific which is why the 2009 World Surf Championship was held there. The Central Pacific&#8217;s Boca Barranca beach is popular due to its excellent 3,117-foot long wave. The Southern Pacific boasts a string of beaches known as Punta Banco, where there are right and left breakers for 2.5 miles. The intense waves at Puerto Viejo in the Caribbean attract professionals and those seeking high adventure, while the less experienced may prefer the easier surf in Manzanillo. Regardless of past experience, Costa Rica has the right surf and the accommodations for any surfer.</p>
