Luxury Travel Review: Costa Rica 14-day Vacation, Osa Peninsula, Birding, Wildlife, Snorkeling, Food Markets

Is there a SIXTH star? Our travel planner actually listened to our needs and provided an amazing vacation.  We loved the hotels and organization of our trip.  The very best part was our luck in having Danny as a guide for much of the trip.  Costa Rica does tourism spectacularly well, and I can't recommend our travel planner enough. When there was a hiccup in transport provided by an outside company, we told our guide about the delay and the less than perfect driver.  To our surprise, there was a refund from the outside company.  When I had bug-bitten feet at one hotel, they cut Aloe in their garden and brought me pulp to stop the itching. ( Oh yes, Costa Rica is safer than the US in terms of Covid.  We're vaccinated and loved the care taken with masks and handwashing (how about before going on a trail in a National park?). And the required Covid insurance means that if you need to quarantine, your hotel is paid for.)
