If you’re dreaming of lush landscapes, warm beaches, and a peaceful escape, May is the perfect month to travel to Guanacaste. Tucked along Costa Rica’s northwestern coast, Guanacaste offers everything from sun-drenched shorelines to cool jungle retreats—and May is when this vibrant region comes to life. Fewer crowds, greener views, and better rates make this an ideal time to book your stay.

Here’s why seasoned travelers and savvy group planners love traveling to Guanacaste in May—and why you will too.


1. The Green Season Begins: Nature at Its Peak

May marks the start of the green season in Costa Rica, and it’s one of Guanacaste’s most underrated secrets. While the term might suggest rainstorms and cloudy skies, the reality is far more refreshing:

  • Mornings are bright, breezy, and sunny.
  • Afternoon showers are typically short and cooling.
  • The landscape transforms into a lush, tropical paradise.

With the dry season dust finally settling, waterfalls refill, gardens bloom, and the region feels renewed. It’s the perfect moment to experience Costa Rica in its most vibrant and natural state.


2. Better Rates + Easier Booking = Stress-Free Escape

Unlike the high season (December–April), traveling to Guanacaste in May means you get:

  • Lower hotel rates
  • Easier tour availability
  • More flexibility with flights and car rentals

At Seis Playas Hotel, we make it even easier with our 20% off promotion when you book two or more nights this May. Whether you’re planning a spontaneous long weekend or a weeklong getaway, you’ll enjoy affordable luxury, flexible check-ins, and peaceful surroundings.


3. Group Travel Made Easy: Graduation, Retreats, & Reunions

May is the ideal month for group travel in Costa Rica. With more room to spread out and less competition for reservations, it’s easier to plan:

  • Family getaways
  • Graduation celebrations
  • Corporate retreats or team-building trips

Seis Playas Hotel offers comfortable accommodations, a spacious event center (Centro de Eventos), and on-site amenities like a full-service restaurant, coworking options, and a tropical pool.

Need help coordinating? Our team can assist with group bookings, itinerary ideas, and recommendations for off-site excursions, transportation, and local eats.


4. Easier Travel, Local Tips, and Seasonal Perks

May is still early enough in the season that:

  • Roads are dry and easy to drive
  • Flights to Liberia International Airport (LIR) are usually cheaper and less crowded
  • You’ll experience local life—farmers markets, local events, and uncrowded beaches

Plus, Guanacaste’s green season sunrises and sunsets are unreal—soft, golden light, misty mornings, and skies that shift from pink to indigo without interruption.


5. Fresh Energy + Relaxed Vibes = Pure Reconnection

After the buzz of the holidays and spring break, May offers something rare: space to slow down.

At Hotel Seis Playas, we offer:

  • Daily pool access for only $20
  • Weekend happy hour specials from 4–8 p.m.
  • A quiet, grounded atmosphere that’s perfect for reconnecting with nature, your loved ones, or simply yourself.
