Double Tree Resort Puntarenas

For Father's Day weekend, hubby, the kids and I went to the all inclusive Double Tree Resort (formerly Hotel Fiesta) in Puntarenas for a fun filled get a way. We ate, we swam, we danced and we lounged. It was a blast.

What a great view

We had such a great time, for such a short stay. We arrived Saturday afternoon, and while the guard at the gate said the hotel was all booked up, a quick visit to the front desk and a few minutes and an extra $50 bucks (on top of the regular price) later and we were set up in a time share suite, decked out with a full kitchen, living room, dining room and TWO bathrooms.

We immediately changed clothes and headed to the pool, then the juice bar, then the snack bar, then Hubby headed off to the restaurant for lunch. I followed suit a short while later. :)

This place is amazing. A ton of activities for adults and kids alike, a gym for those who overindulge (like me), all you can eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks until 1 am. Plus a fruit bar serving up all natural fruit shakes and 'Granizados'.

Too many pools to count and a disco, that's jumping 'til 2 in the morning. Not to mention lounge time, live music, a gift shop, and so much more. As were leaving Sunday afternoon, we couldn't help but wish we'd had more time for just one more day.

I can't wait for us to go back.
