With sweeping views from bluffs overlooking Culebra Bay and a menagerie of resident wild parrots, monkeys, and sea turtles, the Allegro Papagayo resort makes for a memorable place to stay in Costa Rica. (It's also just 30 minutes from the airport, something you don’t always find at eco-destinations.) Once you arrive, there are plenty of activities to keep your crew busy, from beach soccer and volleyball to snorkeling and kayaking. There’s also a kids' club for the 4-to-12 set, a knockout freeform pool, and a private beach club on an island just offshore. Pricing is all-inclusive, which means you won't be opening your wallet every time you turn around.The Allegro Papagayo is offering discounted rates starting at $68 per person, per night, through December 31—and kids 12 and under stay free through December 18. When we priced out stays on several date ranges for a family of two adults and two kids, we did indeed find nightly rates starting at $136 per room (or, as advertised, $68 per person). This is about $100 less than the regular nightly rate. One caveat: The discounted rates are non-changeable and non-refundable, so make sure your dates are set in stone before booking.
