First class flight to Liberia, Costa Rica en route to the Pacific coast...continental breakfast on the first leg; Greek salad, broiled fish and potatoes with a glass of sauvignon blanc on the second. All using mileage!!
After a nice ride from the airport, we checked in to the Flamingo Beach Resort in Guanacaste. Mind you, I used miles to book our hotel reservation so the net cost of this trip less was than $120 per person!! All we had to do was pay the taxes on the airfare and the difference for the hotel that the miles didn't cover. (I was just shy of the amount of miles needed to cover the entire hotel stay.)
When we checked in at the reception area, we were greeted with friendly smile and a fruity welcome drink. Now that's how you say "welcome!" The Flamingo Beach Resort is a beautiful hotel right on the white sands of Flamingo Beach. The staff so far, have been very nice and helpful. I definitely get to work on my Spanish.
After a rejuvenating volcanic mud body wrap treatment at the spa, a hike in the rain forest, a dip in the natural hot springs near the Arenal volcano, we enjoyed a relaxing sun-filled, beach day to get our vacation in gear.
Look out for pictures in the next few days... Great times in Costa Rica so far. Pura Vida!
