Top 3 beaches in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Greetings from Costa Rica!  I would like share some of my favorite beaches while cruising Guanacaste as I wish I had had more information on where to go, especially if you only have a few days to spare.

I think this dress worked miracles for a night out and I would consider wearing it to the opera, ballet, engagement dinner or a simple night out. So, ladies, it doesn't have to be expensive to look good. You just have to look a little harder through the sale section - even though I know...
