There’s a kids’ zone with age-appropriate slides and splash areas for families. 3. Bars & Dining Swim-up bars let you enjoy tropical drinks without leaving the water. 4.

Cultural Experience It’s a great photo opportunity and cultural stop, especially if you’re interested in traditional crafts and Costa Rican heritage.
