CloseDescription:
This port is a known hurricane hole. Situated on Costa Rica’s North Pacific coast, below the hurricane belt and sheltered from the easterly trade winds of Papagayo, the marina offers a safe haven (albeit a five star one!). The international airport is less than half an hour’s drive away.
This is the northerly-most port of entry on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
It is important to note that clearing in or out at Marina Papagayo does require the use of an agent as the Port of Entry is Playa del Coco. This can be costly. See the clearance section below for more details.

Nice marina in the northernmost gulf. Be sure to check in in Cocos before arriving for fuel. We spent a month in each of the three gulfs and this one was most enjoyable. Calm quiet anchorages and cleaner water than farther south.
Marina Papagayo has laundry facilities you can use if you stop in for the day or overnight. Purchase tokens at the marina store behind the restaurant. Staff is friendly and helpful.
We stopped in for fuel and water and stayed a few hours with no extra charge to do some cleaning and laundry. Nothing much around here, but the birds and howler monkeys are enjoyable at sunrise and sunset. If bonding, this would be my first choice of marinas.
