We all loved Costa Rica and had a great time. Although it was not what we really considered when choosing a place to stay, it was nice to see sustainability practices at the hotels we booked!
A vacation tailored to our interests…
At a whim, our family decided to visit Costa Rica for this year’s vacation. We are all adults with different interests, so I have to applaud Jessica for putting together an itinerary that satisfied all of us. She made all the changes I requested, and was very kind when I changed my mind several times. She always responded to all my questions. She even helped us when we left a camera behind on one of our events. We were able to trace where the camera was left and she was able to get a driver to pick up the camera and drive it to us three hours away before we left the country. I was very impressed!
Our favorite part of the trip…
We visited mainly Arenal and Monteverde, but also got to see La Paz Waterfall at the beginning of the trip. It was a fun tour with walking trails and a butterfly garden. We especially liked that we could take our time with the butterflies and animals. We all enjoyed the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge tour. The guide was fun, as he was just as excited to see the animals as we were.
