After a morning surf session on perfect 2-3 ft. curlers, the wind picks up and turns the break into something else. That's when it is time to stretch the legs and take a stroll along the peaceful Playa Guiones. Each day here starts this way, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The perfect little hotel to experience this each morning is Casa Romantica. www.casa-romantica.net, (506) 2682-0272, info@casa-romantica.net. Simple rooms, wonderful breakfast, great price and best location and dinner restaurant in Nosara.
