Hotel Paraiso del Cocodrilo with its familiar atmosphere is located besides the beach Buena Vista on the northwest pacific coast of Guanacaste, Costa Rica only 6 km (3,7 miles) from the beach town Samara. The untouched sandy beach Buena Vista is an insider tip and therefore only visited by few tourists.
