Playa Hermosa

We spent this past weekend at Playa Hermosa in the Guanacaste region, which is famous for its great beaches. For the most part this weekend we focused on relaxation and spent most of our time enjoying the sun and the water right out in front of our beautiful hotel. The hotel we stayed at was the nicest one we have been to so far, and was a great place to simply relax. Saturday we were able to go snorkeling and on Sunday we took a ride on a banana boat around the gulf. The hotel had 20 dollar per hour massages right on the beach. Moreover, every day before sunset a family of Howler Monkeys would descend upon our hotel. The receptionists let me go up to the third floor which was under construction, so that I may be right in the level of the tree tops to take photos. I'm not much of one to advertise for places we visit, but I definitely hope to return to Hotel Playa Hermosa Bosque del Mar (despite the convoluted name). Mostly because of the swan-shaped towels but also because of its great location in a none to commercialized town on a great beach that offers a lot of little adventures.
