Our Legacy
Dining & Yachting at its best
In the lush landscapes of Guanacaste, Grupo Caracol was born from a vision to elevate the travel experience to unprecedented levels of excellence. Our journey began with the art of gastronomy, where we combined the rich flavors of Costa Rica with international culinary finesse, creating a dining experience that became synonymous with quality and innovation. Building on our reputation for excellence, we expanded our horizons to the azure waters, introducing a yachting service that mirrors our commitment to unparalleled luxury and personalized experiences.
