 A new & impeccably clean vacation  property, Sol Playa Hermosa Hotel is situated just above one of western Costa Rica's most  renowned white-sand beaches, appropriately named Playa Hermosa, or The Beautiful Beach.  Views from the rooms & the beach are sweeping & wonderful. The resort features 100  total rooms, 54 of which are deluxe. The deluxe rooms at Sol Playa Hermosa Hotel offer 2  double beds, private bath, central A/C, walk-in closet, private terrace or balcony &  daily maid service, with the kind of sweet-spirited service that only the ultra-gracious  "Tico" people of Costa Rica can provide. 

There are two  swimming pools at Sol Playa Hermosa, plus a tennis court, volleyball nets, jet skiing  & kayaks available, as well as a mini-market, a car rental office & a passenger  tram that carts guests from the beach to the hotel lobby. Sol Playa Hermosa also features  several in-house restaurants, bars & nightclubs, including a nifty poolside bar, where  your favorite libations can be served as you float your stress away.

Sol Playa Hermosa & Bill Beard's Diving Safaris are within an easy  day's drive of five national parks, wildlife sanctuaries & biological preserves -- the  glory of inland Costa Rica. There's a vast number of great hikes, gentle to strenuous,  whatever you want, if you're willing to hoof it for verdant views. Costa Rica's  eco-adventures are one of its top international claims to fame. The cloud forests in and  near the Guanacaste Mountains are world-renowned. Once Bill Beard's Diving Safaris brings  you back from their magical scuba diving world, your appetite for eco-tours may be pretty  keen; if so read further on. We have eco-energy to the max down in Costa Rica!

At Bill Beard's Diving Safaris & also the Sol Playa Hermosa Hotel,  electricity is the same as in the U.S., so there are no worries for divers who bring small  appliances, nor for underwater video buffs who need to recharge their battery packs. This  beautiful property is located only a few blocks from Bill Beard's Diving Safaris' main  office, & a short walk from the center of the village. This is THE nerve center for  serious Costa Rica diving. The Beards have done a commendable job shaping & honing  their little corner of Costa Rica.

Bill & Nadine Beard have run their Diving Safaris business on Costa  Rica's Pacific Coast for about a quarter century now. They are widely recognized as the  savviest & most reliable dive operators on the Northwest Coast of Costa Rica. This  couple is basically one of the founding forces of safe, organized scuba diving in Costa  Rica. You'll enjoy the friendly expertise & relaxed competence their crew brings to  the job. It's a couple blocks walk or tram ride down to your beach in front of Sol Playa  Hermosa Hotel, so Bill's divemasters will keep your dive gear for you during your stay.  They'll rinse & store it & have it ready for you the next morning, so you don't  have to lug it back & forth at all. Bill Beard's Diving Safaris will pick you up by  boat at the beach, or by van at your hotel entrance, whatever you prefer.
