Our adventure to Puerto Viejo, Limon in Costa Rica turned into an adventure we were not expecting when on our way to the beach, we found out the roads were completely blocked off due to the nationwide strike. Over 5 hours spent on the way to Limon only to have to turn back around and return home.
I was pretty sad about our vacation being a bust when hubby suggested we go to Jaco Beach Costa Rica instead. Well, the very next day, after a quick look online for available hotels, we headed back out on the road to Jaco. And what a wonderful time it was. I wish we had planned on going to Jaco from the beginning.
Jaco beach is usually not our first choice when we start planning family beach vacations. It is closer to San Jose but the beach is not kid friendly and the town isn't very family friendly either. Not to mention, it is kind of on the more expensive side. I had not been to Jaco in many years but I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had. Maybe it was because our vacation got saved, maybe it was also because anywhere near the beach was better than home with all its chilly rainy weather. Regardless of why we had a good time, the point is we had a blast and that's all that mattered.
To top it all off, our hotel was fantastic. It was a wonderful little apartment style type bungalow with a living room, dining area, full kitchen and two bedrooms and bathrooms. There was so much space not only inside the apartment but outside the grounds as well.
And there was also a sweet little park right by our hotel for the kids to play at. We were a little farther outside of town but that didn't really bother us in the least. It was a very tranquil spot and being poolside was like our own little slice of paradise.
