Villa Vista Azul www.villavistazul.com/costa_rica_guest_book.htm) is a gem
of a location.  It's a short walk to the beach and dive operation.  The
Villa is beautiful with a phenomenal view.  Check the web site.  The
reviews are accurate if not understated.

The diving was interesting but there were strong winds that prevented us
from going to Bat Island.  The winds change though and selecting the right
time of year for certain destination is important.  The dive operation is
excellent with a stable 24 ft dive boat.  The captain is superb!  The dive
masters are excellent and patient.  Small snacks and water was provided. 
One of the most interesting and fun part of the trip was the interval
periods spent on the beach.  There are innumerable   beaches spread out
along the peninsulas - each with it's own unique characteristics.  Turtle
nests were apparent on some of them.  Also, it was getting into Humpback
Whale season and we had an unforgettable encounter with a couple of
Humpbacks as we road back to the launch site at the end of the dive day. 
Close encounters of this kind are rare and memorable.
If you are looking for a fun shore based dive vacation and want to see NW
Costa Rica, this is a great place to stay, dive, and vacation.  Many of the
great beaches, volcanoes, and jungles are within a reasonable distance. 
Enjoy.
