			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>30 years ago the Diria was the first hotel established in <strong>Tamarindo </strong>and over those years they have become one of the largest and premier lodging facilities in the area. For the seasoned Costa Rican traveler you are most likely aware of the expansion the <a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/horizonpacificvacations/search.cfm"><strong>Tamarindo Diria</strong></a> has made over the years. This beach front resort stretches over 5 acres in land total and has locations expanding into <strong>Langosta</strong>. Recently completed in December of 2006 were the elegant Horizontes del Mar and the spectacular Villas Langosta. So as you can see it is hard to not notice the presence the Tamarindo Diria, Costa Rica Beach Resort, has throughout the Pacific coast.<br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-260" title="Horizontes del Mar" src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/horizontes-del-mar-1.jpg" alt="Horizontes del Mar" width="300" height="214" /></p>
<p>So if you are looking for possibly the best location on the beach in Costa Rica, than brace yourself, because with Horizontes del Mar, you have found it! These beach side condos are a part of the <strong>Tamarindo Diria</strong>, however though they are located in Langosta, they still boast the luxurious amenities you would expect while vacationing with the Diria. Located in quiet and elusive Langosta the grounds that surround the property are lush and manicured with palms, tropical hibiscus and bird of paradise. The wildlife one can see in a week’s time is amazing even in a close proximity to your condo. The unobstructed view from your room looks over the great blue ocean for as far as the eye can see. And a quick look below you can see the sparkling pool. The only thing between your condo and the blue ocean is a few meters of white sand.</p>
<p>Inside these condos are large kitchens, living and dining areas. The interiors are granite, marble, wood and handcrafted tile. High end appliances adorn the modernly furnished space and living areas open up to a beautiful terrace overlooking the ocean.</p>
<p>Horizontes del Mar is located in a fabulous and quiet area perfect for a luxurious vacation in paradise. For more information about Horizontes please request from <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/contact-us.html"><strong>Horizon Pacific.</strong></a> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When one hears the words, <a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/horizonpacificvacations/search.cfm">Beach House</a>, what comes to mind? Maybe a quaint house on the beach, the wind rustling through the palms and the waves crashing into the shore; And as you stroll down the narrow dirt road you can smell the salt, and feel the humidity from the spray of the ocean. Nothing is more peaceful than lying in your own hammock, relaxing in the tropics. Some individuals might prefer the hustle and bustle of a busy beach town, however for those looking to let go of the city life and enjoy a tranquil vacation close to everything, but far enough away to enjoy silence, then Playa Langosta has a place for you.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-248" title="Playa Langosta" src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/009-225x300.jpg" alt="Playa Langosta" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>Only a short drive of 37 miles from Liberia’s International Airport, Playa Langosta is nestled on the Pacific Coast between Playa Tamarindo and Avelleanas. The charming town is dotted with attractive beach houses all furnished with anything you could need while on your vacation. Enjoy a large sized home and sleep the whole family from 5 to 12 people; Or find your secret getaway spot in a smaller personal beach house just for two. These homes are perfect for family reunions, spring break, a second honeymoon, or even long term summer vacations. For any occasion nothing brings loved ones together than spending quality time together on the beach or hiking through the rain forest.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-247" title="Map of Pacific Coast" src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Map-of-Pacific-Coast1-300x234.jpg" alt="Map of Pacific Coast" width="300" height="234" /></p>
<p>Many beach homes are available and now is the perfect time to book one. So plan you’re your next vacation for the end of summer or even as far in advance as this upcoming winter. Let <a href="<a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/horizonpacificvacations/search.cfm">Horizon Pacific</a> be your guide as your look through their endless list of properties.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Playa Tamarindo</strong> has been named by Forbes Magazine as Costa Rica’s Most Popular Beach. And as so, it is expected that this fabulous beach be home to some of the country’s most well known architects such as award winning, Abraham Velenzuela, the master mind behind the luxurious Four-star hotel <strong>Tamarindo Diria Beach &amp; Golf Resort</strong>. The Tamarindo Diria is the largest and most established development in the Tamarindo area. One cannot visit Playa Tamarindo without recognizing the grand presence and lavish accommodations of the Tamarindo Diria.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-235" title="Tamarindo Diria Condos" src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/002-300x122.jpg" alt="Tamarindo Diria Condos" width="300" height="122" /> </p>
<p>Their main establishment is located in Tamarindo; however since 1992 they have found themselves expanding to Playa Langosta. Recent projects that have just wrapped up include the Villas Langosta, El Diria Condominiums, and the Horizontes Del Mar oceanfront condominiums. <strong>Condominium</strong> units feature two and three bedroom floor plans, large living areas and full equipped kitchens. The amenities found within these world class full furnished Condos feature European style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, phone and internet connections, and unobstructed ocean front views just name a few. Enjoy the spectacular panoramic ocean views and breathtaking sunsets from your own private balcony. Additionally because these condos are a part of the Tamarindo Diria Beach and Golf Resort, one can take full advantage of all the hotel facilities, yet know that you are apart from all the movement and crowd of the hotel.<br />
So if you are searching for the fabulous side of Costa Rica, perhaps the <a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/horizonpacificvacations/ShowProp.cfm?propid=34"><strong>Tamarindo Diria Condos</strong></a> are exactly what you’ve been looking for; With 4 star accommodations,golf course, and a short walk from the beach, I cannot see a  reason why not.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Because Costa Rica reins as queen when it comes to the tropics and beautiful beaches, it should come as no surprise the popularity this country has with people.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does it not always seem that one week in Costa Rica just does not cut it? Many people flirt with the idea of spending another week towards the end of their stay, or perhaps they could spare another week off of work. I hate to say it, but too often too many run into this dilemma after spending a few days in paradise. Horizon Pacific has a solution for next time you find yourself yearning to stay another week, with a <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/langosta.html"><strong>Vacation Villa in Playa Langosta.</strong></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/horizonpacificvacations/ShowProp.cfm?propid=120"><img src="http://www.horizonp<div id="attachment_211" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/horizonpacificvacations/ShowProp.cfm?propid=120"><img src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Crystal-Sands-200x300.jpg" alt="Crystal Sands" title="Crystal Sands" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-211" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Crystal Sands</p></div></p>
<p>A villa as we mentioned earlier this month is a country residence or estate, which will make you feel more at home than any hotel room ever could. Perfect for week-long or month-long summer vacations with the entire family; a Villa hidden in quiet <strong>Playa Langosta</strong> might be just what you are looking for. </p>
<p>Have Horizon Pacific make arrangements for a car rental as you travel north to Playa Tamarindo to do some fashion and souvenir shopping. Or maybe have a night on the town and cocktails at the some of the finer dining restaurants and bars in town. However, don’t think that <strong>Langosta</strong> is too small of a town; it is one of the hot spots for surf when the swell is coming in and for weddings as Langosta boast one of the finest backdrops on the coast. Also, don’t forget the wildlife that is always present throughout the country. As you swim in your pool at your Villa prepare to see monkeys and tropical birds up in the trees and amongst the brush, a great experience for families and youngsters of all ages. These <strong>vacation villas</strong> come with all the accommodations that you would need for a weekend visit or an extended stay. So next time make <strong>Langosta</strong> your home away from home and create a more memorable experience as you enjoy your own <a href="http://www.rentalprorentals.com/horizonpacificvacations/search.cfm"><strong>Vacation Villa.</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does anybody really know what a villa is? The term villa probably does not come up in your daily conversations, unless you are talking about vacations or second-homes. The short definition for a <strong>villa</strong> is a country residence or estate. The Romans provide extensive history for villas, and the word differs slightly in meaning throughout the globe. A Tamarindo vacation villa, other than delightful, is just what it sounds like- a country residence or estate for vacations in <strong>Tamarindo</strong>. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Villa-Verde-I.jpg" alt="" title="" width="265" height="198" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-206" /></p>
<p>The <strong>Tamarindo vacation villas</strong> are more estates than country residences (though at one point could have been considered a country residence). Unlike some country residences, the Tamarindo vacation villas offer the same values as a modern day villa—Internet, cable TV and a full kitchen. Many of the Tamarindo vacation villas are set on a piece of land complete with beautiful tropical gardening. The grass may look the same as yours at home, but that will likely be all. Colorful flowers with eye-catching blossoms may border the yard. Tall, green trees may harbor howler monkeys, or assorted fruits. Your villa will likely have a pool, waiting for your use at any time. Though you may have more land than other vacation rentals, your safety is not comprised as guards often accompany groups of villas. Instead of the villa being located in the center of an estate, or farming land, the Tamarindo vacation villas are located within walking distance to downtown Tamarindo, or the sandy beach. <strong>Tamarindo</strong> has a great, and well-known, night life, and during the day a great beach for beginner surfers. Experienced surfers can also enjoy Tamarindo, depending on the break. Other beaches nearby can offer challenging wave for practiced surfers; we can direct you to a few different beaches for some fantastic day trips. Best of all, upon your return from your <strong>Tamarindo vacation villa</strong>, you’ll be able to accurately squeeze the word villa into almost every conversion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite what you may have heard about the types of people who visit Playa Tamarindo, keep in mind that many sorts of people populate the town, beyond spring breakers, honeymooners and long-term partiers. Long-term students, working students, and interns walk side-by-side with older expatriates and people well on their way to becoming the next expatriate. The Costa Rican visitor vacation-length regulations are relatively lax; making long term stays relatively easy. </p>
<div id="attachment_203" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 274px"><img src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/El-Cometa-14.jpg" alt="El Cometa #14" title="El Cometa 14" width="264" height="175" class="size-full wp-image-203" /><p class="wp-caption-text">El Cometa #14</p></div>
<p>Finding an affordable, comfortable, and safe place to stay on the other hand, is another story, particularly in an area as popular as <strong>Tamarindo.</strong> <strong>El Cometa </strong>vacation condos just might be your solution. The Tamarindo el Cometa condos are located within a guarded, centralized condominium building in Tamarindo. The building offers pool access, parking and a 24/7 guard. Your el Cometa condo is located right in town, so grocery stores, restaurants, bars, the casino, pharmacies, banks, and shops are all within a five minute walk. More importantly, the beautiful beach is right across the street.</p>
<p>El Cometa’s interior and included amenities are perfect for the long-term guest. Everything you need to cook your own meals is included, plus a blender. Color cable TV and Internet is included with all Horizon Pacific rentals, and El Cometa is no exception. You’ll quickly realize what a huge advantage the stacked washer dryer right in your condo is. In fact, you might make a few friends because of it. Many Costa Rican homes do not include American-style washers or dryers. Though Tamarindo has a few coin-operation laundry locations and drop-off spots, the cost of doing laundry can add up after just a few loads. Even with all the amenities inside el Cometa, the condo is open and allows amble storage space for a long-term guest. Contact Horizon Pacific for the long-term rental specials.    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people think of common Costa Rican towns, Tamarindo, San José and Jacó often roll off the tongue. If the person knows travelers, or has researched a Costa Rica trip, destinations like Monte Verde, Manual Antonio and Arenal might be mentioned. But Playa Langosta? Playa Langosta doesn’t often find itself in that list. A <strong>Langosta Vacation Condo</strong> doesn’t always cross the mind as an ideal vacation destination, but perhaps it should.</p>
<div id="attachment_184" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 212px"><img src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Langosta-Vacation-Condos.jpg" alt="Langosta Vacation Condos" title="Langosta-Vacation-Condos" width="202" height="270" class="size-full wp-image-184" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Langosta Vacation Condos</p></div>
<p>Playa Langosta is within walking distance to the more well-known Playa Tamarindo. In fact, your Langosta Vacation Condo might be a shorter beach walk than taking the road into Tamarindo. As you have likely heard, and even read about here, just the name Langosta in combination with condo rental can alert the cost radar, especially with today’s tighter budgets. However, don’t assume a Langosta Vacation Condo is a waste of your research time. The <strong>Langosta Vacation Condos</strong>, depending on size and location, are comparable to Tamarindo costs- and to other hot spots such as Jacó. Just because Langosta doesn’t always make the list of well-known destinations doesn’t mean your vacation won’t make the top vacations list. If you are newlyweds, or a long-time couple, you might appreciate the luxury, calm, and quiet of a Langosta Vacation Condo, yet still have the option to meander into Tamarindo’s expansive nightlife. If you are a family with children, you might appreciate the smaller town area without a subtle spring-break feel. Langosta does not offer all the same tourist amenities as Tamarindo, but it will be no problem to use Tamarindo as your launch town for rainforest tours, horseback rides, ATV trips, biking trips, or volcano site seeing. Take a look for yourself- browse Jacó, Manual Antonio, Arenal locations, then come find a Langosta Vacation Condo that will exceed your vacation expectations without using your entire vacation budget.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html">Tamarindo </a>sunrise, in all its hues and shades, catches your eye no matter who are you or what you are doing. Stumbling home from the bar, the sunrise can pull you out of a stupor. The light sneaks in through curtains on those guests sensibly sleeping. The sunrise shines light on surfers catching the first break of the day. The rays guide morning runners and bikers over the Tamarindo hills. </p>
<div id="attachment_173" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 234px"><img src="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Sunrise-5-224x300.jpg" alt="Sunrise #5 Vacation Rental - Tamarindo" title="Sunrise #5 Vacation Rental - Tamarindo" width="224" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-173" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sunrise #5 Vacation Rental - Tamarindo</p></div>
<p>The Sunrise vacation condos are named such by no coincidence. Tamarindo’s Sunrise vacation condos sit on Playa Tamarindo’s beach, overlooking the ocean&#8211; and the sunrise. Though the Sunrise vacation condo is not (thankfully) purple, pink, orange and blue like an ocean sunrise, the condo offers a modern and classy, yet comfortable décor. Settle in on the couch and watch your favorite cable TV show, or catch a nap on one of the king beds. If ocean swimming isn’t enough for your inner fish, a beautiful pool with a waterfall is just outside your patio. You can even see if from one of your bedrooms! The Sunrise condo includes hotel amenities and more, such as a blender and full oven. Depending on the length of the stay, many guests do not employ the full-kitchen, thanks to Tamarindo’s excellent variety of restaurants (and price ranges). We can point out the local grocery stores if you would like to prepare your own meals, or buy some local snacks. The location and condo design is great for couples, a group of singles, or a family to come enjoy the Tamarindo sunrise—from your Tamarindo Sunrise condo. </p>
