Playa Blanca is lovely. We went in August and it was gorgeous weather, lots of nice little restaurants, bars not as expensive as I thought they would be. Enough to do on an evening with teenage son - ie, trampolines, pool etc. Fairly low key to PDC but if you want a nice meal, a few drinks and back about 1am then this is the place to go. Lovely walk along the front from Papagayo end, we used to call off at Marina and have a couple of drinks and then continue the walk to playa blanca village and then taxi back. Good bus service that goes along the coast there, so no need for car hire. taxis pretty cheap. Give it a go

We thought it was wonderful - so much so that we are returning this sunday for a fortnight
