Costa Rica Caribbean vacation packages for Caribbean summer

The start of Caribbean Summer in Costa Rica is the time for Costa Rica Vacation Packages .

The climate on the Caribbean Coast varies from the rest of Costa Rica. Most of the year, the Caribbean Coast maintains its forever green landscape from regular tropical rain showers. Then, when the rest of Costa Rica enters peak rainy season in September and October, the sun comes out over the Caribbean.

Costa Rica's southern Caribbean Coast has everything you're looking for in a beach vacation – adventure, romance, decadent beaches, wildlife, new flavors and music, cultural exchange … and at Hotel Le Caméléon by Puerto Viejo, you have the utmost in luxury.



Now through the end of October is the time to visit Hotel Le Caméléon for special vacation offers in Caribbean summer. Through Aug. 31, 2015, Hotel Le Caméléon is offering a 30% discount off rates for Superior and Deluxe rooms (for rates over $168.00).

In September, in honor of Costa Rica’s Independence Day on Sept. 15, Hotel Le Caméléon is celebrating “Our Homeland Month”. In October, Costa Rica celebrates the month of cultures, and Limon, the “capital city” of Costa Rica’s Caribbean region, holds its annual carnival celebration. During both September and October 2015, at Hotel Le Caméléon you can receive a 20% discount off rates for Superior and Deluxe rooms.

There is a Romance Package that includes one night in a Superior Room for two persons, breakfast, and one Caribbean lunch or dinner per person, for $198.00 plus tax. There also is a Family Package that includes one night in a Deluxe Room, breakfast, and one Caribbean lunch or dinner per person. For two adults, the price is $218.00 plus tax. For families with two adults and up to two children (under age 12), the price is $253.00 plus tax. Children receive a surprise gift.

Costa Rica Caribbean Summer is a perfect time to visit the beautiful beaches of Cahuita, Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo. The Southern Caribbean Coast offers some of the best surfing in Costa Rica, but this time of year when seas are calm, it is ideal for snorkeling or scuba diving in the crystalline waters of the Cahuita National Park, home of the largest coral reef on Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast. Now also is a good time for a boat tour to see wild dolphins or to go sea kayaking.

Hotel Le Caméléon is located on Playa Cocles just past Puerto Viejo on one of the prettiest Costa Rica Caribbean beaches. The upscale Costa Rica boutique hotel features modern rooms, beautiful tropical architecture, a gourmet restaurant, spa services, and the fantastic Costa Rica Caribbean beach club La Sula Sea Lounge.

Why you need to start off every vacation with a relaxing massage

Have you ever had that feeling when you go on vacation, that you’re not really relaxed almost until it’s coming to an end?

There is no better quick entry into that unstressed relaxation mode on vacation than getting a massage or spa treatment. It really is amazing how 60 or 90 minutes of making your muscles and body relax can instantly produce those feelings of bliss and well-being. I recommend getting a massage the day after arrival on vacation to soothe travel-weary muscles.

Massage therapy benefits you by relaxing tight muscles, easing stress, increasing circulation, releasing toxins, and benefiting your whole body in positive ways. Massage can boost your health and keep you feeling full of vitality.

It's easy to fall into being tired, stressed, anxious or exhausted with so many things competing for our attention in our accelerated lives; yet it often seems there isn’t enough time to counteract all of that with something positive like the healing benefits of massage.

While on vacation in Costa Rica, take time for a massage. Your body will thank you, and you’ll feel much more refreshed to fully enjoy your downtime.
