Your Corporate Retreat in Tamarindo: The When

The sun is shining and the weather is fine!

Costa Rican weather is warm and at least partly sunny, year-round, so we’ll start there: Tamarindo averages 75-95º F (23-35º C) and gets a consistent 12-13 hours of sunlight, year-round. The sun comes up around 5:30 and sets just after 6, almost every day.

Additionally, there are two basic seasons: dry season (December-April) and wet season (a.k.a. green season, May-November). If you’d like to know more, check out our guide to Costa Rican weather.

So obviously, the specific when is up to your group’s schedule but you should know there are four distinct retreat seasons in Costa Rica – and each has its advantages (and disadvantages). Bottom line: If you have flexibility in your corporate retreat schedule, then you may want to time your stay according to Costa Rica’s travel seasons, whether you’re aiming for the best weather, the best price, or a combination of the two:
