Hola everyone! As this tropical paradise was sadly coming to a close, so were our out and abouts doing the town. With so many comforts and amenities at the resort, we both decided to do a lazy Saturday type situation and spend the part of the day by the pool just relaxing and enjoying the opportunity and glorious option to just simply do nothing. This is rare b/c at home we are always busy and on-the-go in our normal day-to-day. And I must admit, I like cultural exploration so much that when we travel I have the tendency to overbook our days with tours and activities so much so that I need another vacation from being on vacation, LOL!
This was our 28th anniversary, so we did get dressed and went just a few feet across the way to have breakfast outdoors at Farinellile's exclusive to where we stayed. Funny, before our food was served we had some visitors to join us - the cutest Jay Birds that were on a mission. I heard, but paid no attention to Hubs talking about his conversation with one of the bartenders at one of the other on-site restaurants about how the birds come to get packets of sugar. I guess I just didn't believe it. This first fella pictured below (there ended up being three in total) caught my attention, so of course I wanted to get him on camera. A gentleman also there having breakfast, sees me trying to point and shoot and says, if you want him to come closer just put a few packs of these down on your table - sugar- throwing a few down on his. Ok, I was a bit skeptical at first. Then I relented and threw a few down to see if it really worked. Ah ha, look at the picture below, you can see for yourself. Seeing is definitely believing! These beautiful, but sly little nuggets go around confiscating packs of sugar from bars and restaurants - how cute and funny is that! Who would have known,- not me!!! After all that excitement we goofed off a bit around the property, taking some pics, enjoying its beauty then hung out at the pool before heading back to do lazy Saturday in true form - in bed watching television! I felt so liberated, whew! Since it was our anniversary, we did have a nice, late dinner at the resort's French restaurant, but otherwise did absolutely nothing which made us absolutely delighted - real rest & relaxation in our piece of paradise! #SybilStreetSTYLe
Enjoying views of the pool while sitting on the restaurant's terrace enjoying breakfast with my new friends below. Stunning right, I'm still awe!
My breakfast buddies! You see little guy in the last image, he hardly left any sugar for me, I'm like sir do you have to take some to all of your friends!!! If I didn't witness this for myself, I wouldn't have believed it. I'm still shaking my head in amazement!
I loved being able to walk out of our room daily to the beauty and tranquility of this enclosed garden courtyard at the Royal Beach Club. This fountain and itsy bitsy tropical oasis were pure bliss! It was like having my own step and repeat or photo op on deck, as I'm sure you can tell from all the pics! Do you not agree that it was just lovely, who wouldn't want to start snapping pics in the midst of all this!
Say Cheese! Click the video below and see a quick glimpse of this breathtaking area for yourself - a sheer delight! I just fit right in. See how all the colors of nature, architecture and my outfit just worked so perfectly together! And look below, I'm not the only one loving the photoshoot ready spot - go Hubs! I promise you, he had other shorts/trunks in some cool colors and prints, because I bought them, but he refused to wear them saying, the lime ones, were too comfortable and felt like terry cloth, smh!!!
Taking it all in, no complaints whatsoever! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
Leaving out the other way through our patio was really nice too - it led directly to the pool, bar and restaurant, yassss! What an amazing resort, check out another video below! This was the golf course - one of Hub's prerequisite wen choosing where to stay while we were away, as he loves to play the game - The Westin delivered!
See you next time for my last and final post on our wonderful Costa Rica getaway! We visit the small, but progressive and oh so lively beach town of Tamarindo. Until then, 'Pura Vida' everyone!
