Sunset over the Pacific Ocean from Ostional Beach.

The black sand beach is strewn with white egg shells. Remnants of a recent sea turtle hatchling parade.

Sea turtles are one of the coolest marine animals ever. While in Costa Rica I had the chance to get up close and witness them nesting on the shores of Playa Ostional.

Every member of that staff that I interacted with had a smile on their face and was happy to answer any questions or help in any way. The room was clean and spacious. Highly recommend upgrading to the garden or pool view room. The resort had everything we needed!
