Food scene
Fast casual Tex Mex where it's the only place in the area that you can pick the meat and toppings for your taco, burrito, nachos, burritos bowls. Best frozen margaritas in town! Big Ass Margarita= BAM. Quick friendly service and always fresh food.

Absolutely beautiful. It's about 2 hour drive from Luna Miel but well worth it. The hike to the falls is interesting with a variety of creatures and plants. Best to get a guide to walk with you to point out all the hidden treasures. The sloth sanctuary is about a 15 minute drive and also a nice park/ trail with interesting wildlife, plants and nature.

Highly recommend golf cart rental or car
If you're not renting a golf cart or car, you'll need a shuttle from the airport. In order to fully appreciate all the beautiful beaches, stores and restaurants in the area, it's best to rent a golf cart or car. There is a bus station in Flamingo and also a few taxis but golf cart rental is the way to go!
Huwag palampasin
Fun area!
On Mondays, don't miss the Moonlight Madness open air market in Flamingo. 5- 9pm.
The biggest market is in Tamarindo on Saturdays. You need a car, taxi or shuttle as it's a 25 minute drive.
