We arrived a day early at our new hotel. Luckily, they had a vacant bungalow that we were able to stay in last night. It had just 1 king sized bed that we all slept in. The four of us configured to maximize the space - I was along the bottom making an L with Christian and the kids diagonally in between. It worked out well.
The pool here is beautiful. Jaida is really getting good at swimming the length of a large pool. Also at the pool was a giant beetle, dragonflies and an enourmous butterfly (but the body was like a small bat - we are not sure what the heck this thing was).
The gardens are amazing. The trees have so many things growing on them (vines, ferns, flowers). There is one giant tree - it is one of the biggest trees I have ever seen. The woman that built all of these bungalows said that it was measured by the surveyors and it is said to be the 2nd tallest tree in Costa Rica but it is the girth that amazes us. It's canopy has an opening around it and the green leaves glow against the blue sky, it is magical.
The food at the restaurant here is excellent.
Our bungalow has a huge deck with a couch and hammock and cozy lanterns. Inside the very tall a-frame structure, we have a king sized bed and 2 singles. There are meshed windows on all walls and the airflow is great. It truely is paradise.
We continue to take illegal cabs everywhere we go and the kids are getting tired of it. We tried to rent a golf cart at the red eye rental place in Puerto Viejo but the guy says none of them have a battery. We also tried to rent bikes and a quad but it just hasn't worked out yet...
