Road Trip to Playa Hermosa, Jacó, Costa Rica - Day 1

We are on a four day trip to Playa Hermosa, Jacó. We’re staying at the Terraza del Pacifico Hotel Resort situated right on the Pacific Ocean. Very impressed with this hotel. Check in was a breeze with a very nice bilingual attendant. The lobby is large and airy. Our room has two double beds and we’re on the ground floor - the hotel is two stories high. All the rooms appear to look onto the pool and have views of the ocean. A very pleasant two hour drive from our house.

The first thing I did after checking in was to have a swim in the pool. The beach is black sand, not suitable for swimming because of rip tides but great for surfing.

The restaurant is open air, facing the ocean. We’ll have dinner there later. This is the low season so the hotel is not crowded at all and the room rates are excellent. It is hot and humid here though, compared to where we live in Grecia. However, we expected this and our room has air conditioning.
