Pacific Ocean paradise

We made it to Carrillo. It is the most pristine beach area we’ve ever seen. There are no houses or condos or anything on the beach at all except palm trees. The sand is white, the water is warm and clear, and the sunsets are amazing. Our hotel is set off to one end of the half-moon shaped bay overlooking the beach and ocean. We are literally the only guests here at the hotel so we got the best room with a great view (and A/C for once, so nice!). Check out the video of our room here.  We can hear the waves at night and we had another in-room lagartija (lizard) to eat bugs for us. The town of Puerto Carrillo is tiny; there are only a few buildings with a couple hotels and restaurants. Most of them are closed, this place is deserted this time of year. I don’t understand why because it’s so nice, pushing 90 degrees and sunny for a majority of the day. It still will usually rain in the afternoon, but not like it was at Arenal. It only last for about 30 minutes.

The view from our breakfast spot was perfect this morning and we are still sitting there now typing this post. It has a completely unobstructed view of the bay and palm trees.

Dinner last night was great. We ate at a place up the hill called Hula Jungla. We were also the only ones there. We had a homemade pizza that they cooked in a wood-fired pizza oven for us. It had tomatoes, mozzarella, and olives. Delicioso. We also ate there for lunch, haha, like I said its one of the few places open. We had homemade fajitas and lime margaritas with these weird limes that are orange inside instead of green. We could hear them in the back slicing everything up. The fajitas were only $4. Well this isn’t going to be a long post because there just isn’t much going on here. This is not a bad thing after our busy past week of traveling, rafting, ziplining, etc. Its beach time. Adios.
