We got tired of rain and decided to head off to the beaches for a day. After touring around a bit, we found a piece of paradise at the Bahai del Sol resort on Potrero Beach. Of course Ken negotiated a 30% discount on the rate, so paradise came at a reasonable cost. The resort is small, with only about 13 lovely and spacious rooms (plus a few suites), each with a seating area (including hammock) and secluded garden area out the front door.
The rooms are all centered around a swimming, lounging, dining area surrounded by tropical gardens. Just through the gate is a wide sandy beach and the beautiful Pacific. The early bird cocktail hour is hosted at the swim-up bar by Juan the bartender, who doesn't use a measure or a light hand. I'd recommend the Planter's Punch, which was basically an icy fruit smoothy made with all fresh juices (mango, orange, papaya, passion fruit) and about half a bottle of rum. The open air dining room is lovely, the food amazing (Mahi-mahi for me, curried chicken for Ken) and reasonably priced, and the staff friendly and helpful. We've already booked a return trip for a couple of days next month.
Believe it or not, our resort is hiding behind the trees here. This is the view from the beach.
The beach at dusk. One of those dots in the water is probably me not wanting to get out - until Ken mentioned it was time for "happy hour".
