I usually go to Costa Rica EVERY summer. I first went ALONE and stayed all summer. I met people and from that point on it was a wrap. I know my way around San Jose and many other places. Manuel Antonio is the best beach there in my opinion. ALL types of people, and I do mean ALL types. Guys, if you ever wanted to wear those speedos.. now is the time to do it.. that is if you have the body and the confidence of course. I didn’t do it, but that’s because i never thought to bring any. Next time i surely will, because the ladies (both the Ticas and the Foreigners) love to look.. even when you think they aren’t. There is enough room for EVERYONE to do whatever they want.. Except for the surfers who think that they own the whole swimming area at times. But, they are of no harm.. only trying to be the best surfer on the beach to win over their small crowds. Nightlife in Manuel Antonio is SUPERHOT. It’s a free club, outside next to the beach. HOT music for everyone who loves to dance and watch dancers.. and after that, the party continues in Quepos, about 3 – 5 minutes away in taxi. Mono Azul is a cool hotel to stay in. Anyway, If you want to know where to go and how to get there, then I can help you out. I feel like I am on “The Amazing Race” EVERY time i go there. ALSO, BEWARE of Downtown San Jose after night fall. I saw someone robbed for their cell phone and there wasn’t a cop anywhere to be seen. If you go out, go with someone and definately travel by taxi. LADIES.. Don’t smile at every you see like many of you usually do, especially in the U.S., don’t draw any unwanted attention and always walk in the INSIDE of th esidewalk, not close to the street. Unless you feel like getting hit on by tricks. lol. The Bus Station called "Coca Cola has some shakey people so keep your eyes peeled and watch your belongings. BUT don’t look obviously scared, b/c it’s really not that scarey. You have to go there in order to get to Manuel Antonio/Quepos. The nightlife is very good in costa rica. Almost every night seems to be ladies night. But if you are a dude that is attractive, cool, or whatever.. you too may be able to get in for free or a small fee. I know i rarely paid to get into clubs. and oh yeah, EL PUEPLO is the place to be.. open ALLNIGHT. I remember staying there till about 5am.. Lost track of time while making out with a hot tica (i knew her for 1 year prior though)lol. Oh, and if someone asks how you are.. say “PURAVIDA”.. they love that. Almost EVERYTHING is pura vida seems like it. Although I mentioned some abd things, Costa Rica has been labeled one of the top safest countries in the world. Every country has their savages you know.

I have been to Bali Hot Springs Resort and also Tabacon Hot Springs Resort and I can honestly say that both are GREAT and one does not out do the other one. It’s SOOO relaxing to watch the volcano while you soak in natural hot springs. Many times the sky is not clear to see the volcanoe, but I have been able to see it each time that I went. They play music at Bali and have a bar that you can go to while you are still in the water. It’s HOT. It’s like a P. Diddy Pool party set or something. Also it’s totally affordable. It’s good to go with a boyfriend or girlfriend and is equally as good to go with a real cool friend.. like, “why bring sand to the beach..?” LoL.. I’m not sayin hook up, but it’s a very nice Flirting Place. It doesn’t matter where you get your appetite.. just make sure you go HOME for dinner. (It’s okay to flirt and lust.. but go home and do the “Grown Folks” with your lover. :)

Puerto Viejo is a cool place to go if you like reggae, dancehall, and reggaeton music. The locals speak spanish, some english, and something called “patwah” i think. It’s like, from what i gathered, what some refer to as “Broken English”. Like.. when Sean Paul says.. “I dunt really care wat dem wan do.” Something like that. Also, You can ride scooters down this lonnnng road where people are walking into the town from the more rural areas. You can surf, but I think the best waves are in Tamarindo.. at least for those who like HUGE waves. There are mannny things to buy for loved ones and yourself. Friday and Saturday are the best days/nights to be there because that’s when the most people are there and you know what that means.. PARRRRRTY. For Young Adults and Adult Adults. lol. I loved it.
