Costa Rica, Guanacaste | When staying in Guanacaste, a trip to the beachside town of Tamarindo is a must. The town is quite charming with many restaurant and shopping options and gorgeous ocean views. I highly recommend lunch at La Palapa on the Beach. The service was friendly and personable, but the highlight was by far the amazing food. They ceviche appetizer was bright and fragrant, and they have a seafood screwer platter with giant shrimp, grilled mahi mahi and lobster tail plated beautifully with fresh vegetables that should not be missed! ~ Chenoa Hopkins, Marketing Project Manager.
