After losing track of time chilling out in Montezuma we made our way to Manuel Antonio. With not inconsistent internet connections and many "no availability" emails from places we checked out in Manuel Antonio...we set out wondering if we'd get a place at New Years as apparently this is the Beverly Hills of Costa Rica and really hard to find anything reasonable.
We found a Beach Front place that looked beautiful on the website and so aimed to land there and see if they had any rooms.
We actually did the the tourist thing this time and booked a direct "gringo" service - private bus from Montezuma to Manuel Antonio. It was super nice for a change and met some really cool people from Montreal.
We are continually amazed at how clean Costa Rica is. They really are into preserving the environment here!
We landed in good time near the village of Manuel Antonio on the coast...and it is magnificent!
The beach front hotel had a room and within 5 minutes we realized why...the manager is certifiably nuts, but thought since it was right on the beach, half reasonable for the area, we'd just try to stay out of her way and chill!
She sure kept us entertained just the same!!!
Anyway, Manuel Antonio is quite similar to America with all the amenities and gringoes, so it was nice to be on the beach away from the commotion with New Years even if it meant putting up with Loco Woman!
We're well rested and ready to come back and face the world. We've had a grand time catching up on three years of lost sleep!
Happy New Year!
