Costa Rica – Jaco Went to Jaco, Costa Rica in December: Stayed at Crocs Resort. The hotel was very nice and everyone was super friendly. The beach is ok. Not really a nice sand to lay out but it didn’t matter too much to me because the hotel pool was gorgeous. A small casino inside which had some slots and tables. Food was good and rooms were spacious. There’s a…

I will be landing in V…
