The best thing would be to go right to your room and shower after you've been in the ocean. The cream/treatments are also always available in the hotel shops and they work well.
Oh that sux!! Was it bad, like did it ruin your trip? Did a lot of people get stung or just you?

My sister and I both got them... it wasn't that bad, just little bites that were kind of itchy. They were more unattractive than anything, so we couldn't wear cute tops for a couple of days. I guess it would be a big deal if you were all red at your wedding, but like I said before, as long as you rinse yourself off you should be OK. I will probably just stay out of the ocean til after the ceremony (I will probably be too busy before then to do any sea frolicking anyway!)

We were with a big group of 8 or so people and my sister and I were the only ones affected. I think it varies person to person how susceptible you are to a reaction, like someone else said. Of course I am allergic to everything!

Leave it to Morgan to bring up the penis fish.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
