The kids will sleep soundly after frolicking by the seaside at Carrillo Beach. Search for cute critters like crabs and snails, stick a toe in the water or maybe even fly a kite!

If you like the word "free" as much as most people do, you'll be pleased to know this stretch of coastline is exactly that. Carrillo Beach is located in Guanacaste. To keep your itinerary full while you're in these parts, also drop by Samara Beach, Buena Vista Beach and La Selva.

7.6/10 Good! (1,292 reviews)
Room: 6.5/10 (Our room was cleaned well, decent view, but sound echoes throughout hallway make it hard to sleep) Restaurants: 2/10 (First come first served.. want to eat dinner at 6pm.. show up at 5pm to get in line, food is mediocre at best) Staff: 7/10 (Our interactions with staff was warm and friendly) Amenities: 5/10 (We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach) Overall: 5.5/10 - The hotel and surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, the locals are friendly and helpful, but we really felt like there was nothing else spectacular about the resort. We came as a part of a wedding party and they had their own issues with the entire process.
