Thanks D1! Will do.

I stayed at Westin Playa Conchal too. It was awesome! I recommend doing a zip line tour. At the Westin there’s a guy on the beach - Eric I think? He will organize tours for a lot less than going through the Westin. Seriously check the reviews and tons of people recommend this guy. We got a river cruise through him that was awesome. It was a private cruise with us and our driver - we had monkeys coming down and sitting on our heads and shoulders - got some cool pictures. And saw tons of cool birds and crocodiles.
