This place looks great and the staff has been so helpful in booking my trip so far ! Thanks Carrie! GNSK8 will give our review when we return. this is what we have to look forward to :(
Our small, ecotouristic beachfront hotel is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Since prehistoric times, Playa Grande has been one of the world's principle nesting beaches for the Giant Leatherback Sea Turtle. Louis Wilson, the founder of Hotel Las Tortugas, was instrumental in preserving Playa Grande as one of the last functioning, healthy nesting areas in the world for this now highly endangered species. Join us and witness this spectacle of nature which occurs right at our doorstep every October through
March. Even well into April, you can walk our beach in the early morning hours and see the baby turtles making their way to the sea in the half-light of the early dawn!)::
PURA VIDA !

Enjoyed your Costa Rica page! Pura Vida
Jaco is dirty, horrible and full of whores. I went there with my gringo husband and by mistake we went to the Bettle Bar, of course we were not good for the business the owner surely supports this Whore House as it is, and it should be call like that.
great info & pics ;-)
very good infos.
Thanx for visiting my pages! seems I MUST visit Costa Rica and "taste" its PURA VIDA soon ;-) love your page and T-logues! :)
Nice photos and tips. Sounds like you really loved Costa Rica. Looks fabulous too! Sedona is amazing, but there aren't too many waves in AZ. :)
Looks like you had a great time in Costa Rica. Wonderful pictures and useful tips, Sean. I hope to make it there one day. Diana
Excellent tips and photos. Seeing the turtles come ashore is such an amazing experience.
Nice pages, I've just got back so must get my pages up too. Looks like you had a great time. Greetings from the UK :-)
There's a dry season??!! The worst of the wet season was over by the time I arrived in Costa Rica .. apparently!
