Every year Monaco Costa Rica Condos gives back to the community during the holidays. This year was no different. Sure, we enjoy the laying around on the beaches and eating the wonderful food Jaco, Costa Rica has to offer but it also brings us great joy to help those in need.

There are many reasons to travel to Costa Rica. Maybe you are jetting off on a Costa Rica Honeymoon, possibly you’re planning a family vacation to Costa Rica, perhaps you just want to relax with friends on the beach. Whatever your reason for your special trip to Costa Rica, you will want to ensure you pack the essentials. In order to create the most comprehensive list possible, we have spent many hours of rigorous research by lounging on the beach, at Monaco Upscale Condominiums exploring the local towns and natural resources, becoming ingrained in the local community and learning about Costa Rica. All this hard work in order to make sure we provide you with the proper advice. It was a tough job, but to ensure you have the best Costa Rica Vacation possible, we were determined to complete the task. You may be spending a lot of time on the beach, in the water and in nature in general. You want to make sure you can keep your outdoor options open and not have to stay inside due to sunburn. We suggest purchasing an Eco or Reef friendly sunscreen , we want not only you but future vacationers to be able to enjoy all the natural beauty available in Costa Rica. Along with sunscreen don’t forget to pack sunglasses and a hat not only for protection, but also to take the perfect beach picture. To make that picture a reality, no matter where you are, we also suggest a waterproof phone case . Don’t forget sandals or flip flops for those leisurely strolls between your condominium and beachfront lounge chair! It would be tempting to spend your entire vacation at Monaco Upscale Condominiums lounging on the beach, but we suggest getting ingrained in the local culture as well as view the abundant wildlife. There are a wide selection of beach activities including surfing, deep sea fishing, kayaking and so much more. While adventuring inland make sure to bring some hiking boots , a small backpack for all your essentials including a reusable water bottle and don’t forget the binoculars to peep at the over 100 species of beautiful birds that are native to the region. Remember all the adventures don’t have to be in nature, as Jaco is known not only for its laid back atmosphere but also its nightlife! If you are interested in enjoying the local nighttime festivities bring an appetite for some delicious food as well as your most comfortable pair of dancing shoes ! Last but certainly not least you want to ensure you make sure to bring your spirit of adventure . Right, we know this isn’t something you can pack; but it is something we highly encourage all our guests at Monaco Upscale Condominiums to bring. Costa Rica is not just beaches and umbrella drinks… although that is one fantastic aspect of joining us for your Costa Rica vacation. We want all our guests to fall in love with Costa Rica as we have and we feel confident that if you bring that spirit of adventure, it will only enrichen your family vacation or honeymoon. The Jaco area of Costa Rica is abundant with Natural adventure, and a beautiful welcoming culture. You may also want to consider bringing an extra suitcase for all the fun things you can find on a local shopping trip and for a day trip in the bustling town of Manuel Antonio just over an hour away. And while you are there, you can put your hiking gear to use at the Manuel Antonio National park.

At Monico Upscale Condominiums we understand a Costa Rican experience is not just vacation, beaches, and luxury condo rentals it’s also getting to know the community that brings this beautiful area to life. We recently had our 10th annual company outing to give back to the community that has given so much to us and our clients. The day was full of laughter happiness and those special moments spent with people that make for lasting impressions and memories. The holidays are more than a time for a luxury vacation, we wanted to ensure that our community family had what they needed to celebrate with their relatives just as we are celebrating with ours. We passed out over 200 stockings filled with toys, candy, and school supplies to children in Jaco and surrounding areas. We understand that making memories doesn’t always happen on the beach, on vacation, or relaxing in luxury; sometimes it’s about kicking around a soccer ball with your friends. We were happy to contribute to these fun afternoons, promote outdoor experiences, and help the children of Jaco make memories by providing 80 soccer balls to the community. Sometimes it’s not just about fun, it’s about ensuring we have the necessities for our children, so we also passed out over 30 backpacks filled with stockings and blankets. We bring light to this event in order to highlight the wonderful community that has always been so giving to us, and the satisfaction we get from giving back in some small way. We encourage everyone to embrace this holiday season by doing something, even if it’s small, for others. Give to your global community, give to your local community, give to your family, then give to yourself with a nice cold one on some warm sand. We wish everyone a happy holiday season.
