Creator's Key Takeaways

It was worth the adventure to find this pool cuz it's really nice and quiet over here.

We had a really nice day here in Costa.

The nachos were really good. So, I did uh try to grab a picture of the menu.

Make sure you've got some cash on you. We used our credit card to pay the bill.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring cash for tips at the pool bar, as they only accept cash for gratuities.
Check the compass app for sun exposure when choosing a pool chair.
Avoid the main pool if you prefer a quieter vibe; head to the family pool instead.
