The Port town of Punta Arenas will have a new seaside resort
By the summer of 2012 thousands of locals, retirees and tourists who visit the city of Puntarenas on the Pacific Coast will be able to enjoy a fist-class resort. The resort will feature a huge swimming pool, a small pool for children, restaurants, a convention center and beach access. The facility will be able to accommodate around 1,200 people at one time.
People on my popular relocation/retirement tours often ask about activities to stay busy while living here. The new resort in Puntarenas is just one of the thousands of things to do to stay busy and happy in Costa Rica.

Is Punta Arenas on the north or south coast?

The Central Pacific’s largest city, Puntarenas (meaning “sandy point”), sits on a long, narrow peninsula or spit in the Gulf of Nicoya, a short 62 miles from San José. The town itself is about three miles long but just a few blocks wide. It is also the capital of the province of the same name.
