The hotel…

We stayed at an all inclusive resort called the Sandos Papagayo Arena Hotel. Because of lackluster (to put it lightly) food service, I’m on the fence as to whether I would stay there again. However, the place is beautiful, our room (a junior suite) was huge and the view from our balconies was gorgeous. Here’s a shot of the back of the hotel with a mega-zoom on our balconies.

The beach at the back of the hotel isn’t particularly hospitable, but there were a couple of very nice beaches very close. Here’s Emily playing on the hotel’s beach our first evening there.

Here’s a shot roughly south from the beach.
