No matter where we go, Costa Rica always has a way of pulling us back. This was our fourth trip to the country and our second stay in the Playa Ocotal area—and it honestly feels more like returning to a favorite neighborhood than planning a vacation. We’ve zigzagged across a lot of Costa Rica over…
