We traveled from our first hotel near La Fortuna to our second one in Manuel Antonio, on the Pacific Coast. As we were checking out of our first hotel, they asked us where we were going, and when we told them, they made a comment about some bad weather and wished us the best of luck.
When we arrived in Manuel Antonio, we couldn’t drive to the hotel because roads were blocked by down trees, power lines, and work crews. Turns out, there was a hurricane and an earthquake a couple of days before. We ended up walking down to the resort and our bags caught up with us later when the roads were cleared of trucks. The resort was running on generator power the whole time we were there. The resort is on a steep hill overlooking the ocean, so they took us by golf cart from the reception area to our suite. It rained most of the afternoon, which was a little depressing, but after that we didn’t see any more rain during our stay in Costa Rica.
