Costa Rica
Cahuita Hotel 933
A good place to sit on the sand at the beach.
The water is fine here in Cahuita. The hotel is at the beach. What more do you want? On the way down from Vara Blanca there are two magnificent waterfalls. The first comes thundering down right beside the road and can't be missed. This is known as Catarata de La Paz, since it is on the Río La Paz (Peace River), which originates near the summit of Poás Volcano.
The second falls is farther from the road, but unless it is very cloudy, is not easily missed. Be looking down across the river gorge on your right as you come into the village of Cinchona, and you'll see this impressively high waterfall as it spills into the Sarapiquí River. A small roadside (former) restaurant nearby has a great view of the falls and also has put out several hummingbird feeders, so you can get some terrific close-up views of these swift creatures
