Designed and developed by native Costa Ricans, Alegrķa is located in Flamingo, Guanacaste, within 200 meters of Potrero Bay, and just 800 meters to Playa Flamingo and Playa Brasilito.
But if you want to know the true value of a location, ask someone who has lived in this beautiful country since birth. Mention Flamingo and watch their eyes light up. The next sound you are likely to hear is “ahhh” …the universal word for a place so beautiful and special that a simple description is not enough.
The fact that you have selected Flamingo, and not half a dozen places you could have named, will set you apart as a person with discriminating taste. . . someone who wants an authentic experience of Costa Rica. Flamingo is not your typical tourist destination.
Flamingo has been held close by Costa Rican families for many generations, carefully guarding their sleepy paradise from the thoughtless development that has swept through places like Tamarindo and Playa Coco. Instead, Flamingo has taken its time. It will not become another soulless resort. It has a vision for allowing development that will enhance its character and value.
The government is overseeing the revitalization and reconstruction of the Flamingo Marina, which was the first and only marina in Costa Rica for many years. Construction on the master plan, which includes a boardwalk, shops and restaurants, is expected to begin in the Spring of 2008.
But of all the things that may eventually come to Flamingo, none will claim the heart and soul of this community like Alegrķa. This will be the one place in Flamingo that will capture the imagination of all who pass by. No visit to the area will be complete without spending an afternoon on the village plaza, sipping your cafecito and enjoying a true taste of Costa Rica.
Of course, one afternoon will lead to another, until you ask:
