We went back to the Caribbean side for a mini beach vaction at the Las Palmas Hotel on Playa Grande. It’s located in between Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo. Check out the BLOG!

Rooms were clean and simple but really could use some updating.

Don’t know what kind of bird this is but cool red eyes!

Tried some new fruit…..do you know what these are?

IMG_0884

It’s Lychee fruit, kinda plum like in texture and taste, quite good once you peel off the wierd skin.

Walked to Manzanillo one morning, about an hour each way. This was one of the gorgeous stretches of beach we travelled on.

Hottest day we experienced during our entire stay in Costa Rica this time, at least 100F, could only stay in the sun for 15 minutes max before retreating to the shade. Sand was soooo hot!

Glad the water was deep and actually refreshing, perfect! When it’s calm I’m sure the snorkeling would also be great here and easier to navigate around the rocks and reef.

They put so much detail into their entrance imagine what the property for sale is like. This was oceanfront on the east coast.
