Ocean Bar Bistro Cosmo Residences at Arrocito

 

 

While at Playa Arrocito 2 days ago, I scratched visiting the Ocean Bar Bistro, Cosmo Residences off my to-do list.  I already knew about the luxury condo complex, Cosmo Residences , but it wasn't until I visited their website, that I learned the restaurant bar was open to the public.

 

The word of mouth reviews have been good and it lives up to its reputation.  It's super clean, tastefully designed and comfortable.  The staff were genuinely friendly. Nice people.  What more could you ask? I'm told it looks even better at night. 

 

Naturally, I took some shots with the new camera.  Some didn't turn out.  I tend to forget where the lens is and get my fingers all over it.

 

There is a parking lot entrance.   This is where I entered from the beach.   Let's go.

 

 

 

The parking lot entrance.

That's all I have that turned out.  Everything else smudged.  See it for yourself.  I was impressed.
For such an upscale elegant place, the menu is reasonably priced, even competitive with a lot of downtown Crucecita restaurants.

There's a great video of this place.  I like it partly because I did the voice over but it's just a slick professional video with cool angles and vantage points.  It's on Vimeo so I don't think I can just post it but here's the link  Cosmo Residences. on Vimeo   

That's almost the end of Picture Day but the route to Arrocito has one serious hill.  It's so steep that I broke a chain last time I was this way, trying to tackle it going up.   This time I didn't even trust it going down.  A faulty brake and I'd be in trouble.  So I couldn't go all this way without visiting the point on my way back.

Stepping out on this ledge to get a better shot.  Oh, look.  There's my finger again.

 
It's a long way down with no soft landing.

Picture Day

I finally got around to putting my new smart phone camera to use and took a few random pictures yesterday en route to the beach and back.  As far as I can tell, there is no zoom. 

A section of Chahue Boulevarde has been closed to traffic for about a week now. 

 

I'm not sure what the protest is about this time.  I can't read the signs.

 

 

The protestors camp out at night with hammocks and tents.  It's all very peaceful and the detour flows quite well.  For me on the bike, it's been a bit of advantage because the traffic has slowed down and it's safer to cross 6 lanes.  I don't even have to look but I always do anyway.

 

   

 

Completely random shots.

This is something new.  This lot has only recently been flattened.  It was mounds of dirt, occasionally used by dirt bike stunt riders, previously.  Open up the full picture and you can see a few pieces of equipment remaining from a cross fit obstacle course.  I didn't notice it myself until returning from Arrocito later when I saw some people swinging on the monkey bars.  I haven't done this since the playground in Korea.  I lost a lot of strength in my left shoulder back then after a bicycle accident.  I'm proud to say I made it across this time but 2/3rds across I knew I couldn't do the Tarzan swing anymore and finished up by baby steps.  But I finished.    

 

A new hotel going up, possibly an extension to Isla Huatulco.

I had the Sony Action Cam with me to test out the advice on anti-fogging from this video. 

Fogging was a problem at last Umarela. 



 



A few water drops are to be expected but the difference in temperature didn't affect it all.  Success.
