Malpais is located on the Nicoya Peninsula. Here we stayed at Malpais Surf Camp and Resort. This place had a variety of rooms from dorms, private rooms, private bunk houses, to houses with kitchens.
We chose to stay in a private room; however when we arrived, we basically had our pick of anything. There was one guy staying there, along with the other couple that we took the cab down with. Pretty sweet! We had a whole surf camp to oursleves!
Along with an on-site restuarant, we also had a pool. It was great relaxing poolside and swimming all day when Kyle was out surfing. He'd join me for a dip after his surf sessions.
Here are some of the poolside sunsets that we saw.
But yes, this is a surf camp, so where's the surf? About 300 metres away. Just follow the path.
This is an alligator tree named after the spikes on it. 
Trees along the pathways and roadways in Costa Rica are used as fence posts. The barbwire is placed to that the trees grow into it.
At the surf camp you could always hear Howler Monkeys in the distance. Here is one that we spotted while walking to the beach.
And another lizard.
Here is the beach located across from the surf camp.
The beach has it's own personal beauty that set it apart from the rest.
There were crabs on the beach too. Here Kyle has taken a picture of a crab hole with all the markings that they make.
We saw some amazing sunsets during our stay in Malpais. The sun sets in Costa Rica around 6:00 everyday, give or take a few minutes depending where along the coast you are. The sun sets really quickly as well, and the sky changes many times throughout. Don't blink or you may miss the entire sunset.
On one of the evenings that we came to watch the sunset, Kyle grabbed an evening surf session...
