The El Amphitheater restaurant is inside the hotel and sits high on a hill and overlooks the ocean. The gardens are incredible. Its a bit pricey, but worth the experience and the food is impeccable.

La Iguana Golf Course
CalleAn absolutely gorgeous golf course if you like to golf.
Boca Barranca has one of the longest left waves in the world. I suggest booties as the coral will rip your feet up but wow, is it worth it.

Sightseeing
The Mermaid Sculpture is stunning. When the tide is low, you can walk out to her and touch her. She is so very beautiful! Just make sure and watch for breakers (big rogue waves) and wear non-slip shoes. The volcanic rock is very sharp. This beach is also an absolute favorite for surfers.

-Its about $12 to get into the park. Tours are scheduled many times a day and may be a little extra.
