About

In Costa Rica, Pulpo occupies a spot in Provincia de Guanacaste, Playa Pelada, Costa Rica. Playa Pelada sits on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste, with Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Jacó and Manuel Antonio among the better-known stops along that shoreline.

The venue has built a following on the Guanacaste coast, and its 107 reviews carry a 5 out of 5 average, a record that reflects consistent word of mouth. First-time visitors can expect a Pacific-coast setting in a province known for its dry tropical forest and long stretches of beach. San José, La Fortuna and Monteverde lie further inland for anyone combining a coastal stay with the interior.

The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, which shapes when the area is busiest and when rain is least likely to interrupt a stay. Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida. Cloud forest, rainforest and dry tropical forest all occur within a short drive of each other, so a single trip can take in very different landscapes.

For a visitor, Playa Pelada offers a quieter base than some of the larger resort towns nearby, while still being within reach of them. The 5 out of 5 rating from 107 reviewers marks the venue out as one that has earned its reputation on the Guanacaste coast.
