Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in San Juanillo?
The best area to stay in San Juanillo is near the main beach, which offers the most convenient access to local amenities and the Pacific Ocean.

This area is the heart of San Juanillo, with a few small shops, restaurants, and places to stay clustered around the main road that leads directly to the beach. The beach itself is distinctive, with white and black sand meeting at a rocky point, offering great spots for sunbathing and exploring tide pools. It's a relatively quiet and undeveloped spot, ideal for those seeking a tranquil coastal experience.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will find the area around San Juanillo beach particularly appealing. The uncrowded beach provides a ideal setting for relaxing walks and enjoying the natural beauty. Many accommodations here offer direct beach access or stunning ocean views, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the surroundings.

For families, staying near the main beach is also highly recommended. The calm waters in certain sections of the beach are suitable for children to play, and the rock formations offer interesting areas for exploration during low tide.
When is the best time to go to San Juanillo?
The best time to go to San Juanillo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, is during the dry season, which runs from December to April. This period offers consistent sunshine and pleasant temperatures, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.

During these months, you'll experience minimal rainfall, typically clear skies, and calm ocean conditions great for swimming, snorkelling, and fishing. The average daytime temperature hovers around 30°C (86°F), with cooler evenings. The roads, especially those unpaved, are also in their best condition, making travel to and from San Juanillo much more straightforward.

For those looking to avoid the larger crowds and potentially find better value on accommodation while still enjoying good weather, the shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. You might encounter occasional afternoon showers, but these are often brief and help to refresh the landscape.
