And the winner is....

We are pleased to announce the winner of the first Annual Popa Paradise Beach Resort Photo Contest! First of all, thank you to all those who participated. The theme of the photo contest was "A Day In Paradise," which was very subjective. So we asked participants to send photos of what they considered a "Day in Paradise." Many of the submissions were sent along with little stories of why this photo meant so much to the person who took it. Although it was hard to choose, we had to pick one winner! The winner of the first Annual Popa Paradise Beach Resort is...Riley Poff, from Carlsbad, California! Riley and her mom and Dad all sent photos in, but Riley's was the standout. Her picture of Playa Guiones, in Costa Rica, where she spent enjoyable days looking for shells, was a beautiful shot, especially considering the fact that Riley is only 10 years old!
Riley and her family won a free room night in our Executive Suites. Congratulations!!!

The first runner-up is Emily Metcalf, from West Yorkshire, England. This picture of the early morning sun, shining down on her English garden, where she likes to take tea in the mornings, earned her a free trip to the Zapatillas, on her upcoming visit to Popa Paradise Beach Resort.

The second runner-up is Cassidy Faulkner, from West Albany, New York, with her submission from her travels from India, where everyday was "day in paradise." She also will enjoy a trip to Zapatillas on her upcoming trip to Popa Paradise Beach Resort.

Once again, thanks to all those who participated. It was very hard to choose the winners. Congratulations to those who won, and we look forward to seeing you soon!!
