Costa Rica

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Although Costa Rica was not on my bucket list, our trip with this travel company may have well been the best we've had in 30 years of travel in the USA and abroad. Our travel agent was extremely attentive and intuitive in our pre-planning discussions and put together an itinerary that matched our interests and preferences very, very well. She was thorough and responsive, even when we decided on a change of plans for one day's activities. She met with us on arrival and it was great knowing that she was available 24/7 if we had a problem. She arranged all of the transportation and guides and the latter were polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable and accommodating.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The beautiful places we stayed in Costa Rica were indeed memorable. Two of the three were part of ta collection of sustainable luxury hotels/resorts. Being green does not mean "roughing" it! The third hotel took sustainability seriously and was likewise amazing in terms of beauty and degree of service. It was wonderful to see the rich diversity of flora and fauna being so well-protected by the people of Costa Rica. I'll never forget enjoying the beauty of the Pacific beach as white-faced capuchin monkeys scampered overhead in the trees!

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would change very little. While we were there we swapped out a trip zip-lining for a half-day at the Ecotermales hot springs which was a great experience I would not want to have missed. The one day when we did two separate half-day hikes (one through the jungle over multiple hanging bridges and the other up a lava flow) may have been better spread out over two days, It was great to have a few days at the beach at the end to relax after lots of seeing and doing.
