			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html">Playa Tamarindo</a> is the most popular beach along the Pacific coast and for good reason; this beautiful, but small, surf town has a population coming in around 500, but can swell to 5,000 during the high season. With her convenient accessibility, breathtaking beaches and close proximity to eco-friendly activities, <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html">Playa Tamarindo</a> truly has it all!<br />
<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.google.com/url?source=imgres&amp;ct=img&amp;q=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/25/63675240_ac2a6c83b1_o.jpg&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=OOmQTY2PJIeUtwff1pDwCQ&amp;ved=0CAQQ8wc&amp;usg=AFQjCNEmRFx5xrhCO1P0Tclc4GocypAfiA" alt="" width="298" height="224" /><br />
<a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html">Tamarindo</a> is the most accessible beach throughout the Northern Pacific area of Costa Rica. International travelers flying into San José or Liberia have the fabulous option to fly directly into Tamarindo. With an airstrip located on the outside of town, planes make this direct trip daily. This cuts down on drive time and is a much more comfortable way to travel.  In addition daily buses run to and from San José, making it a very inexpensive and convenient option for travel.</p>
<p>The beaches of the Pacific coast are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. While lounging on the beaches of Tamarindo one will see mountainous regions directly northeast jutting out of the ocean and producing an unforgettable skyline. Not only does Tamarindo boast some of the best views, but also phenomenal surf. The waves found here are great for beginner surfers, but when the swell comes in can reach heights of 12 feet.</p>
<p>Tamarindo is also a convenient hub for commerce and tourism in Guanacaste. The close proximity of <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-activities/index.html">eco-friendly activities</a> make it a great central location to be in. Enjoy activities such as zip lining, surfing, rafting, finishing, horseback riding, estuary trips, snorkeling, diving, body surfing, hiking, and more!</p>
<p>So what are you waiting for??? Find your <strong><a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html">Tamarindo Vacation Rental</a></strong> today and enjoy the fantastic pleasures life has to offer you in Costa Rica!</p>
<p>We are delighted to serve you and make your vacation a memorable one. Check out our available <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/property.html">property listings here</a> and on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/costaricarentals">YouTube</a>!</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>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>

<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>

<p>With 2.09 million visitors to Costa Rica in 2008, you’re likely to find Costa Rica mentioned in vacation conversations of all sorts. Honeymoon? Yep, we stayed at a romantic Tamarindo vacation rental. Wedding? Yep, we were married on the beach. Sabbatical? Sure, it was cheaper than Hawaii. Family with kids? Oh, the kids loved it! Retirement celebration? Yep, we got a Tamarindo vacation rental right on the beach. </p>
<p>Tamarindo makes a great vacation destination for pretty much anyone; and affordable for many. Airlines offer deals for less than $200 in and out of San Jose International Airport. Food and rental cars are cheaper than most United States hot vacation spots. Tamarindo vacation rentals are often less expensive than a Tamarindo hotel; plus your Tamarindo vacation rental offers comfort and privacy just like your own home. All Horizon Pacific Tamarindo vacation rentals include cable TV, Internet, a kitchen and free cleaning every third day of your stay. The town of Tamarindo is a beach town and offers great beginner surfing waves, a huge variety of restaurants, tons of local shops and a vibrant nightlife. If you want to explore other parts of Costa Rica, you can easily use a Tamarindo vacation rental as a hub during your trip. More challenging surfing, volcanoes and rainforests are all within driving distance from Tamarindo. Busses (both Costa Rican and Nicaraguan) pass multiple times per day through Tamarindo; we can help you figure out the schedule if you’re interested. Contact Horizon Pacific for Tamarindo information, or check out some pictures of our <a href="http://www.horizonpacificvacations.com/costa-rica-rental-properties/tamarindo.html">Tamarindo vacation rentals</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those readers who are skiers, snow boarders or just feel stuck in the frozen winter and are ready to trade in the chap stick and winter clothes for sun screen and a bathing suit, Horizon Pacific has the Costa Rican version of a comfortable, ski-in/ski-out condo&#8211; only warmer and better!</p>
<p><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;t=h&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=113422807968234815035.00047f6d9c48e77beb433&amp;ll=10.299065,-85.839776&amp;spn=0.003695,0.00456&amp;z=17&amp;output=embed"></iframe><br /><small>View <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;t=h&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=113422807968234815035.00047f6d9c48e77beb433&amp;ll=10.299065,-85.839776&amp;spn=0.003695,0.00456&amp;z=17&amp;source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Balcones Del Pacifico, Tamarindo Costa Rica</a> in a larger map</small></p>
<p>Instead of skiing and getting cold on those long lift rides or freezing while waiting for your car to warm up, our Balcones del Pacifico vacation condos are just steps away from the warm, sandy Tamarindo beach. Playa Tamarindo is great for surfers, shell collectors, tide-pool explorers, or simple long relaxing beach walks. Ride on perfect waves in the warm Pacific Ocean under bright sunny skies with nothing more than your best looking bathing suit and a good coat of sun screen. Take pleasure in the scenic coast line under tall tropical palm trees on a white sandy beach and then walk home in minutes.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter what your surfing skill level is, Playa Tamarindo is close to many world class breaks, numerous surf shops offering excursions, lessons, and rentals. Horizon Pacific’s Concierge can make arrangements before you arrive so you don’t waste time once on the ground. </p>
<p>While skiing can leave you chilled to the bone, the Costa Rican weather warms you inside and out. Relax on the beach, quad through the mountains, zip through the trees like a monkey…all in light summer cloths. Sun glasses and sun screen are the call of the day! If you forget, don’t worry. <b>Los Balcones del Pacifico</b> vacation condos are close to pharmacies, grocery stores and shops. </p>
<p>Tamarindo is well-known for its international cuisine and active night-life. There are many different opportunities to choose from. After a warm adventuresome day, stroll back to the quiet and safety of your beach condo and decide your next move.</p>
<p> Los Balcones del Pacifico are two-bedroom Condominiums  located in heart of  Tamarindo. Each condo includes a full kitchen, dining area, living area with cable TV, A/C and Internet. So, if you need a night in, they are a comfortable place to stay. You can curl up on your couch and take in the cool Costa Rican night or relax around the pool.  The tiled floors of los Balcones del Pacifico stay cool throughout the day and on through the night- also helping to keep your condominium cool and enjoyable.</p>
<p>Warm, Sunny, Tropical verses Cold, Snowy, Wintery….you decide…we can help!  Los Balcones del Pacifico, the place to stay!</p>

Lucky monkeys on the top floor sleep in California king size bed (that means really big), and relax in a private Jacuzzi tub all while looking out over the Pacific to beautiful sunsets.</p>
<p>These Lucky Monkey vacation homes can be rented individually or together to accommodate up to 24 people They share a courtyard and pool and are nested on a hill for the panoramic views and into a tropical forest where you won’t be the only monkeys around because this area is often visited by the native Howler monkeys.
