If you are arriving to Playas del Coco shortly, you will still catch the area’s lush greenery and vibrant colors before the scorching heat of summer turns everything to its usual dusty color of sand.

Those of you who are returning to Coco for another high season will notice (and perhaps appreciate),  a couple of new developments that have appeared since your last visit:

- Coco now boasts a brand new boardwalk, that allows you to walk between Las Palmas (finished part now goes to the first entrance to the beach) and the main street much faster than it would normally take you to walk on the road.

- There will be a new steakhouse opening soon, and we are looking forward to reviewing it.

- Golf carts will be easier to rent this winter.  We will have a price list and contact info up on the website shortly.

- A new sunset bar, Tortuga, is now open at Claudio y Gloria.

- There are buses leaving from Coco to Liberia every hour now.

- Coco Bay estates offer Yoga classes for all on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday for $5 per class.

- Yerbabuena now plays at BeachBums (almost every Friday) and at the Pacifico Beach Club on Saturdays.

- Adobe has closed their office, so there are no more car rental companies operating directly from Coco.

- If you are interested in getting a cell phone, you can now purchase a prepaid card if you have an unlocked phone, or get a local phone with the prepaid card.

- The casino has been renovated, and there is now a new Casino has been renovated and there is now a new sports bar called  Sloppy Pelican.

- Pacifico continues to welcome you  for happy hour (with 2 for 1 specials on drinks) every Friday and Saturday from 5PM to 7PM.

We will keep you updated on all the details in our subsequent posts!
