Hi all

I have a rather urgent question.
We are in San Vito now and on our way down to Golfito or Drake bay tomorrow. I've been in contact with dolphin quest (golfo dulce) and poor man's paradise (osa, drake bay) and asked both places if they have access to this beach http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/19076334.jpg
I know there is one playa san josecito in each place and both hotels say that the beach in the picture is the beach in front of their place, so one of them have to be wrong.
It is very important for us to get to the right place since we intend to shoot film on the location of the photo so we'd very much appreciate if someone unbiased could shed some light on this mystery of the beach that exists in two places. Thanks in advance!
Eric

Considering the waves are so small, and the ocean calm, I would say that is Drake Bay, and would be Poormans Paradise.

How was the drive to San Vito? One of the prettiest in the country IMO, wait till you head down the mountain...
