The Prieta Beach Club - Peninsula Papagayo - Costa Rica

The Prieta Beach Club - Peninsula Papagayo - Costa Rica

Over the decades we’ve been involved in the short term villa rental business. The data has made it loud and clear a majority of the inquiries are potential renters looking to rent a villa on the beach or within walking distance to a beach. It must have to do with some romantic fantasy of stepping out the door and immediately have their toes filled with sand and the warm water just a few steps away.

What is even more interesting is the more seasoned the short term villa renter has learned being right on the beach is not as cracked up to be what they originally had in mind. They discovered being right on the beach is not exactly private. People are constantly walking the beach … often getting a little too close to comfort to their villa. The views from the beach are also quite limited versus being up higher. When the bugs come out they drive the guests nuts as there is virtually little wind on the beach versus up at higher elevations.

The owner of CieloMar Villa (www.cielomarvilla.com) at Peninsula Papagayo in Costa Rica thought long and hard about where he was going to position his villa. He decided to build it 300 feet above Prieta Beach to take advantage of the panoramic view, privacy, lack of bugs, and wonderful breezes. It was a major plus to have one of the many beaches so close to CieloMar. In the plans was also to have beach club built for guests to use.

Beaches are certainly lots of fun to sit, relax, swim, surf, sunbath, read, or any number of activities. Going to beach often has its limitations…what about bathroom facilities, food, drinks, water activities & toys, beach chairs, shade, or even a spa treatment?

Bingo ….Prieta Beach Club was formed and includes all the above with another added bonus of putting together a daily list of activities for all ages. When potential clients are looking for a destination when kids are involved they always ask what is available for kids ? The Prieta Beach Club solved that issue with tremendous success.

Then again it is not all about the kids …adults like to relax, drink, eat, have a spa treatment, a little more drinking and eating and not worry about their kids whining about there is nothing to do!

To make this all possible the owner of CieloMar has provided complimentary access to the Prieta Beach Club for all guests. There is usually a $50/day entrance fee. Guests will be required to pay for their drinks and food. Keep in mind CieloMar Villa does come with a full time chef to prepare all meals and would be happy to prepare a meal, snack, or drinks to take with you.

The next obvious question is how far is it and how do the guests get there? If you stand on the deck of CieloMar Villa and look directly west over the pool you will see Prieta Beach right below. Simply go out to the garage and unplug one of the three electric golf carts provided. Take a 5-7 minute ride down the road and there you go you will be at The Prieta Beach Club! The golf carts have plenty of room for all guests. Two of the golf carts hold four guests and third golf cart has six seats. How simple is that. The goal was to make it easy.
