Exploring the mesmerizing shores of Playa Tortuga was a highlight of our trip from San José. We loved the delicious lunch served right by the beach; it added a nice touch to our relaxing day. One small downside was the long travel time, but the enchanting views made it worthwhile, especially when we spotted those playful sea turtles along the coast.

We had a wonderful day exploring the stunning beaches and lush landscapes of the area, with Playa Tortuga being a true gem. The trip from San José was smooth, and we appreciated the time spent enjoying a delicious lunch that featured local flavors. One small drawback was that the drive felt a bit lengthy, but the enchanting views made it worthwhile. We loved watching the waves crash against the shore and took plenty of pictures near the iconic rock formations. Overall, it was a memorable experience that we would recommend to couples looking for a day of adventure.
