A Vacation within a Vacation - Dreams Las Mareas

 

We learned friends of our are spending a week at the new Dreams Las Mareas, located at the Northern point of the Guanacaste coast in El Jobo. It is a 3 hour ride from Flamingo to El Jobo but the roads are paved. However they are doing some road construction, which is a good time to stock up on chips that are sold by the locals anytime there is construction causing cars to stop.

The ride takes you through endless valley's with volcano's in the backdrop, very beautiful. From the airport in Liberia airport the ride is 1 1/2.

Dreams Las Mareas is an all suite, all inclusive resort with everything right there. Dreams is part of AM resorts which include Zoetry, Secrets, and Now resorts all of which I have had wonderful experiences with over the years as a guest and sending clients to the resorts.
When we arrived we were greeted with a glass of champagne. Check in was quick, easy, and we were in our rooms in no time. We are only here for 2 nights so it was great to get the party rolling as soon as we arrived.

 The resort has 2 levels of pools with all sorts of mini pools, you can always find a spot to sit. People still do get up early to reserve their spot but that happens in any resort and there really isn't a reason here with so much space.

We meet our friend by the pool for some afternoon beverages before going to the Seaside Grill for lunch.

The Grill is set right off the pool and with views of the ocean. Lunch was wonderful.

There is a salad bar with fresh fish salad, tuna, salmon, soup, chips, and assorted cold salads. I could of had just that for a meal and been happy. The fresh snapper was delicious. Wonderful meal, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere.

Now for some beach time.
