That’s right just look at this picture I found on flickr:
This is the beach access from the Tamarindo Diara resort in Costa Rica
I guess you have your cake and eat it too, you can this reminds me a lot of the resorts around Waikiki beach in Honolulu, even the mountain in the background looks like Diamond head, There is even a point break nearby called little Hawaii, pretty interesting stuff, but instead of aloha you will find the spirit of Pura Vida.
Pura Vida !!
