@FreddyLA7 Once you're in southwest Louisiana, look for a roadside crawfish shack. Order 5lbs of boiled crawfish and eat it there. Those cajuns are some of the most fun people on earth to talk to.
@Mr_Higgy@meathead Yes.
Rough and loose edges catch extra heat and cook disproportionately. They burn and turn crunchy, which is particularly noticeable when the rest of the brisket is soft and juicy.
@Sassafrass_84 Any of the properties on the Papagayo Peninsula. Four Seasons or Andaz are great choices.
Santa Teresa will be more rustic, more "tropically", with more smaller boutique options. Hotel Fermata is great.
