NOSARA

COSTA RICA /// VILLA TORTUGA


Untitled

Back in July on our epic #wethotcostaricansummer we stayed at the Villa Tortuga. We waited last minute to book our room because we didn't really know how many people were actually coming on the trip. Originally it was going to be 5, then 7, then 9, then 10, then 13!! We booked the Casa Tortuga because this was the largest option available, and could sleep 8. Seven of us flew out on a Saturday and spent the day traveling to Villa Tortuga (2.5 hours from airport), buying groceries, hanging at the pool, and checking out the beach. This was our first time staying at Villa Tortuga so we  explored the area and found it this was the perfect place to stay on this trip. The owner, David was there to greet us and was super helpful with anything we needed to know, really cool dude.  Everywhere we needed to get to was walking distance, the board rental here was only $10 a day, and the best hidden gem was Tony. Tony is the security guard roaming the property, but he's so much more than that, he became our friend. We found out Tony loves to cook so one day after the boys went out and caught some fish Tony prepared a feast. Handmade chips and salsa, a fresh salad, ceviche, tuna steaks, sushi (he taught us how to make it), fish tacos... I can't remember everything he made because there was so much!

We have stayed at many different places in Nosara but right now Villa Tortuga is our favorite place for a group!

COSTA RICA /// All About Them Onesies

Suit /// Hat /// Wrist ///

Before I packed up for this trip I ordered several bathing suits from Swell. They always have killer sales and they always have what I'm looking for. Right now they have an extra 40 % off all sale items! This little black number was definitely one of my favorite suits to surf in. Not only is it super flattering (love the back), but it's functional, I don't have to worry about adjusting and flashing when I'm in the ocean. Girls, I don't know about you but when it's girl time and you have that annoying bloat... I'm all about the onesies.

I never have a hard time taking photo's on trips. The hard part is organizing them for posts when you return home. So many good ones to choose from and not wanting to leave any out. The fun part is reliving these amazing moments in photographs and receiving emails and texts from the rest of the group with photos they took. I am beyond thankful that we get to frequent this place and I am even more thankful we get to share these precious experiences with such an amazing crew of friends. Life is bueno. Hope you are all having a great weekend! Stay tuned for more on Costa Rica.
