Independence Day in Costa Rica

Independence Day is held on September 15^th in Costa Rica and is a national holiday of celebration and fiestas.  For 192 years now, we have been an independent country and take great pride in our national heritage and culture.  

Today, there will be parades in towns throughout Costa Rica as well as performances by local school children, rodeos and fiestas.

But the celebration actually started last night at 6:00 p.m. as handmade lanterns were lit with candles and families walk through the streets singing the national anthem and carrying the lanterns.

Our Independence Day in Costa Rica is one that we look forward to celebrating with friends and family throughout the year and a day to remember that we are a democratic and peaceful country, full of pura vida!

Enjoy your morning coffee on one of our beachfront chairs

Every morning when the sun starts shining and the birds begin to sing, you will notice a delicious aroma of coffee exiting Lily's kitchen at our Bed and Breakfast. One of the best coffees in Costa Rica is made by Cafe Britt and it is the one we chose to serve in Sueno del Mar.

From cafebritt.com:

Café Britt was founded in 1985 as the first gourmet coffee roaster in Costa Rica.  Before Café Britt, it was virtually impossible to find a memorable cup of coffee in Costa Rica though we were growing some of the world’s most outstanding coffee beans. We recognized and harnessed the opportunity to create great change in the Costa Rican coffee industry by reserving and roasting some of our own beans.  They had all the ingredients for success: access to the quality gourmet coffee beans from the country’s best plantations, the finest mills, knowledgeable roasters, an obsession with quality and a desire to create an environmentally responsible coffee company.

 If you wake up early and are near Playa Langosta, stop by our B&B and relax with a cup of coffee sitting in one of our beachfront chairs.

Whale Season in Costa Rica

It’s whale season here on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica and we’re hearing reports from our friends on the catamaran tours out of Tamarindo Bay that these majestic mammals are being spotted on a regular basis!  The best time to view whales off the coast is in August and September as well as November and December although they can be seen periodically throughout the year.

Along with whales, you may also have the opportunity for other sealife sightings such as manta rays jumping out of the ocean, dolphins playing, sea turtles swimming and of course sea birds flying overhead.

During your stay with us at Sueno del Mar Bed and Breakfast, be sure to ask about the local catamaran cruises and enjoy a fun day cruising along the rich coast, snorkeling, relaxing and if mother nature agrees, seeing some awesome sealife!

Our beachfront hotel in Playa Langosta is the perfect setting for your next Costa Rica vacation.
