fished there back in 2004 for my honeymoon. Wife and I caught 5 sails, small tuna, and raised a 400# blue on a 8 hr trip out of playa ocotal. actually went out with a guy who grew up in orange beach, went down and never left. bought a single screw charter boat and started fishing. great place, great people, great fishing, and usually really short runs offshore. he apollogized to us about the long run....5 miles out!!!!

There's a little place there called Claritas. Rooms were $50 a night for A/C.
Something like 25 a night for non-A/C. The hospitality was world class and they have a beach bar/grill that serves wonderful food and drink. It's a bit hokey, but it's on the beach and there's always something going on. A simple search on google will give you all the info you need.

If you have a rental car, I'd also drive south to Manuel Antonia, just down the road from Quepos. There are mountain side hotels very reasonable. THere is a restaurant built around an old crashed drug plane that is reasonable and great. Aqua Azul bar is hopping. Have a great time... I'm looking forward to going back this fall.

My son Ian and I fished out of Los Suenos (Herradura) for the last couple of days with a small group from Gulf Breeze. Six Sailfish and one Blue Marlin in two days. The Marlin was the big fish at about #225 (20# line). Bite is slow, but everybody is catching fish. Ian's first Sailfish and a double hook-up on the Blue.

If you try and get your bag limit down there you will bring home some trophies you really don't want!!!
