We stayed at Lake Areal first but it was cold and not the great for kiting but it could of changed by now this was like 3 yrs ago. Playa Copal is a great spot for kiting Nov thru March. Strong winds, bring small kites.

Jeff and Emily had a house there and if you interested they rent rooms or they can help you find a place to stay. Here's their site http://www.kitewindsurf.com/store/your_trip.aspx

If you go pay the extra $ and fly directly to Liberia it will save a days worth of travel.
