Travel Review: Luxury Costa Rica Vacation, Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Hiking, Kayaking, Nature, Wildlife

The company took care of everything, all transport, hotel stays, and activities. This made for a worry free trip!  All of our longer-distance drivers were very knowledgeable, spoke English, and were professional. For the shorter rides (10 minutes) we did not interact as much with the drivers. The hotels were great as were the activities. We felt the communication in setting up the activities was not as great, and we felt that we had to take the initiative to do that otherwise it wouldn't have gotten done. We also wished that they provided more of their own recommendations and expertise when it came to recommending activities.  Perhaps offering some dinner recommendations and transportation would have been a helpful addition, especially in Manuel Antonio/Quepos where the hotel was on a stretch of road too dangerous to walk down and the hotel only had one restaurant with limited menu. Also, several activities that were described as "hikes" were really more like walks and offered little in the way of physical activity. One of the things we mentioned to our travel agency was our love of being active and we would have liked to have more of that in our itinerary, especially with respect to the activities that we were told were hikes, we would have wanted those to actually be hikes.
