Spend an unforgettable week at the world class five-star Hotel Punta Islita Resort in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, which offers incomparable luxury and kid friendliness.  You will not want to leave your two bedroom villa with its expansive shaded terrace overlooking your private infinity plunge pool, well-tended tropical garden and panoramic ocean view.  The secluded natural sanctuary provides abundant opportunities to experience eco-adventure and you are sure to see local wildlife first hand, including monkeys, lizards, sea turtles, starfish and tropical birds. 

Your luxurious villa includes two bedroom suites and a large open floor plan with kitchen, sitting and dining areas.  You will have access to all that the resort has to offer including its beautiful swimming pool and beach facilities.  In addition to complimentary activities at the resort, you may also enjoy zip lining, sea turtle watching, surfing lessons, kayaking, horseback riding, golfing or simply relaxing at the spa.  

You will have access to a Land Rover Defender 110 (a great four wheel drive SUV that accommodates up to eleven people) with a driver to take you on a day excursion to surrounding beaches or villages.  For example, San Miguel beach is covered with sand dollars much of the year and offers three miles of deserted beach.  The Land Rover is the perfect vehicle for Costa Rica, where river crossings and four wheel driving is the norm.
