Just got back form 2 weeks there, and the no see ums were a problem. We stayed at Flamenco Beach while our friends stayed at Tamarindo, and we were both plagued. We were not able to determine if they were from our trip to Lois Pena or Zoni though, as we spent a lot of time in the shade and sand there also. My husband and his sister both had welts for several days and required benedryl every 6 hours and anti itch cream of some sort for a few days. Pams were on her legs, primarily thighs, and Bob's were thigs, ankles and lower back, so likely it happened on the beach. Mostly they stop itching if you don't scratch if you can do that! We didn't use any repelent which would have certainly helped, but often the bites don't show up until later so it was too late. I definately wouldn't let it effect my trip, too beautiful a place to miss just because of a few bugs. Next time though I will use bug spray any time I am in the shade or out of the wind, and after dusk. Would also bring some benedryl, after- bite, and maybe some of the green aloe and lidocaine gel just in case. Good luck and have fun. I have some pictures of the campground area, email me if you would like them. Jean
