I would recommend Costa Rica to friends. Our 17-day holiday is the perfect combination of volcano adventures and beach relaxation. The trip was excellent and the hotels were just what we wanted.
A tropical getaway we needed…
My husband and I had been thinking about a tropical getaway, and Costa Rica was on the top of our list. Through Anywhere, we were able to put together a 17-day holiday throughout the country. We visited not only the traveler favorites: Arenal, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, but also detoured to Santa Teresa because we heard the beaches there were amazing too.
We’ll always remember the beauty of Costa Rica’s nature…
It was pretty rainy when we were in Monteverde, but it felt amazing to be surrounded by so much nature and foliage. We loved staying at Hotel Cala lodge because you can even see wildlife not too far from your room. The staff were pleasant and accommodating as well.
My favorite part of the vacation…
I’m glad we made Manuel Antonio our last stop — four relaxing days on the beach after all the tours and adventures. La Mansion Inn Hotel was everything we could ask for. Breathtaking views, beautiful rooms, and only a short drive away from the beach! We didn’t want to leave.
