On Friday, we checked out of La Fortuna and had transportation booked to take us to our last stop, Guanacaste. It was another long drive and even longer because our driver took us to the wrong resort, but we finally arrived and the resort was beautiful! We stayed at the W Costa Reserva - Playa Conchal for two nights and had an amazing room overlooking the ocean and sunset. I loved that balcony and view! We were greeted with a complimentary cocktail, checked in and immediately put on our bathing suits to head to the beach. The kids wanted to go to the ocean over the pool to start. We ordered some beers on ice and some chips, salsa, and guacamole to hold us over until dinner. Dinner was at the resort and was decent, but very expensive. That evening we checked out Eric and Ana's room that had a hot tub on their balcony and a foosball table. It was fun!
Our last full day of vacation was spent alternating between the pool and the beach. I think we were more than ready for rest and relaxation after lots of excursions. The breakfast buffet at the resort was delicious! When we came in for a small break from the sun, Scott and I went to the lobby bar for a rum tasting and ended up being the only two guests there so the bartender was very generous with his pours and with sharing his knowledge about rum. That night we went to dinner out at Coco Loco and I think the boys really enjoyed their steaks cooked on black rocks. Back at the resort, we played games with everyone and said our goodbyes. It's always sad having to say goodbye to Eric and Ana. Until next time!
The next morning we were up very early for a long drive back to San Jose. We had originally booked flights out of Liberia, which was must closer, but the airline changed our flights and we had to switch over to San Jose. We had a layover in North Carolina and got back just after midnight. Whew! Long day of travel. But, we had an amazing trip to Costa Rica with family!!
