The Green Season ("temporada verde") runs from June through November. It's also known as the "rainy season," but don't be afraid, many consider this the best time to visit Costa Rica. Temperatures are warm, prices are lower, tourists are fewer, and the countryside is even greener. At the Sol y Mar, you can often have the beach to yourself, and the water is ALWAYS warm. In addition, the biggest waves for surfing (just 10 minutes walk south from the Sol y Mar) occur from May through October.

"Dry season is "high season" for tourists - larger crowds and higher prices. The budget traveler may wish to consider a rainy-season visit. These trips can be particularly rewarding - when you might find yourself kayaking between massive mangrove roots during a thunderstorm or quietly sipping Imperials in a … bar that hasn't picked up for the night. Even during the rainy season, the sun generally shines for generally much of the day, and most afternoon rainstorms are furious but fleeting." (Let's Go Guidebook's Website)

Rental Cabinas

We have been voted a "Frommer's Favorite" and "one of the most popular lodgings in Zancudo." We take pride in providing excellent value at the Sol y Mar.

At Cabinas Sol y Mar, there are five private, screened beachfront cabinas and a 3-storey house available for rent. Four of the cabinas and the house face the ocean, just 50 meters (55 yards) from the Pacific surf. Each cabin is equipped with electricity, fans, hot water showers, and screened windows with shutters. The shutters open to the stunning view and the cool, refreshing breeze off the Pacific. Small groups are also welcome (with advance notice) to this secluded paradise. Laundry, phone, fax, and e-mail services are available for guests.

"I guess when I tell people about the Sol Y Mar, I tell that it's the perfect place to go if you really JUST want to relax together (or do ocean sports and fishing). I would use the words rustic and quaint for the cabins - they are not fancy, but they are a clean, safe place to sleep - and they are charming. It is one of the most affordable, exotic vacation spots that I have heard of...it's paradise on a shoestring!" (J.R. - Anchorage, Alaska, U.S.A.)
