If you're looking for a near-perfect Costa Rica beach experience, Potrero Beach in Guanacaste is a marvelous choice. Potrero is less than an hour from the Guanacaste Airport in Liberia, close to Flamingo Beach. Potrero is perfectly located on a horseshoe-shaped bay, offering beach lovers the soft sands, calm waters, and tropical sunsets they crave. It's also near Marina Flamingo, providing guests with access to all kinds of ocean activities.

Potrero is an underrated beach in Guanacaste. It attracts more local tourists than foreigners. Most tourists usually stay in nearby Flamingo and Conchal, but the travelers who come to Potrero Beach will fall in love with this place and long to return.

In the heart of Potrero Beach, occupying a wide expanse of oceanfront property, is a small resort called Bahia del Sol. Bahia del Sol means "sunny bay" in English, which sums up Potrero to a tee.

The hotel sits on its own hectare of beachfront land. It's surrounded by lush gardens full of palm trees, immaculate lawns, and tropical flowers. Its 115 rooms and suites spread over these gardens, close to a pristine pool and the beach itself.

Each room and suite comes with all the amenities expected from a comfortable hotel. Some of the rooms and suites have their own jacuzzis, while others come with fully-equipped kitchens and kitchenettes. Rooms also fit between two and five people, depending on the category. All these characteristics make Bahia del Sol a great option for couples and families alike. Groups of friends will also enjoy staying here. They can enjoy comfort while also having the confidence they can prepare their own meals if they want.

The pool area at Bahia del Sol is gorgeous. It's set close to the beach, with its freeform shape surrounded by gardens. The patio is also full of comfortable sun loungers to relax on. There's even a swim-up bar area to add to the laid-back vibe. Split your time between the pool and the Pacific Ocean, just a few steps away, to get the best out of this location.

Bahia del Sol has two different restaurants. There's the Nasu Restaurant, which serves a delicious menu consisting of grilled meat cuts, fresh seafood, local fish, and savory Italian-inspired dishes. The Mangue Restaurant and Bar has a tapas-style menu, and it overlooks the beach. Mangue is the place to be for sunset cocktails accompanied by live music on Friday evenings.

There is also easy access to a selection of other restaurants and bars in both Potrero and Flamingo. Because of Bahia del Sol's convenient location, it is within walking distance or a short taxi ride away from most of them. You'll be well taken care of while staying at this hotel.

The beachfront setting and colorful gardens of Bahia del Sol are also great for wellness-centered vacations. To that end, the hotel's own Nahu Spa provides various spa treatments, massages, and treatments in a natural setting under the trees. In-room spa services are also available, and the hotel also has a beachfront yoga studio. If you want to feel good, Bahia del Sol is the place for it.

Potrero Beach is all about relaxing on the beach, sunbathing, and swimming. However, the area offers plenty to do. The hotel has an on-site concierge to help guests if they want to get out and explore.

The Flamingo Marina is within walking distance from the hotel. It gives access to world-class diving in the Catalina Islands, which are visible from Potrero Beach. There is also excellent off-shore fishing, where you can target prized species like sailfish or marlin depending on the time of year. Sailing and snorkeling tours are also available. And if you want more variety, horseback riding, zip line canopy tours, and national park hikes are also accessible.

If you're interested in a comfortable stay on a safe and beautiful beach, then Bahia del Sol could well work for you. It's time to rest, relax, and explore in Costa Rica.
