Fantastic trip! All the drivers were professional and on time, if not early. Hotels were great. Our favorite was Poco a Poco in Monteverde. Communication throughout the trip was easy via the app.
I didn’t have to lift a finger in planning. Will definitely use KikKim again.

Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco
Monteverde

6 stars if I could. Beautiful grounds, fantastic food on site(breakfast buffet and restaurant), walkable to restaurants and a couple shops, friendly staff. Everything was above and beyond. Amazing views everywhere. Covered hot tub and pool so can be enjoyed when raining. Free marshmallows for the fire pit. Fun disco bathroom. I could go on and on. Whole family loved this place.

Hotel Costa Verde
Manuel Antonio

AC in rooms only works with a key that is welded to the room key so it can only be used while you’re in the room and it takes a good hour to cool down when you get back to the room - and that’s with all the fans on. I’m all for conserving energy but even keeping the room at 85° while we were out would have been wonderful to keep the humidity down and allow clothes/swimsuits to dry. The bathroom is never air conditioned. Imagine having an upset stomach in a humid 90° bathroom. Balcony and views were fantastic though and monkeys were everywhere which was fun. Food on the premises was just OK and expensive. Need to call a shuttle to get anywhere on the property or walk up hill on dangerous roads a distance. Staff was friendly and room was clean .

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort
La Fortuna

Friendly staff, great breakfast, clean rooms, fun hot springs pools, waterslide fun for kids. Ambiance was beautiful. Wish we could walk to other restaurants and shopping but that has nothing to do with the hotel, it’s common for the area I think. Uber was easy to use .

Whitewater Rafting on Naranjo River (Class III & IV)
Costa Rica

Guide was amazing-he gauged the kind of experience we wanted and tailored the trip to that. For instance, we were more adventurous than the other raft that went with us so our guide made sure to get us fully in the rapids where the other guide was a little more subdued. Guide was very safe and knew the river well. No one fell out unless we wanted to. It was the perfect amount of heart-racing fun. Great pics to buy at the end for $40USD so no need for a waterproof camera. Lunch was typical Costa Rican fare at the end.

Next we went to Monteverde, we drove route with the new bridge. The view was worth it but make sure you have a 4x4 and check water levels at the rivers. We stayed at the Koora. I would go back to Montverde just to stay here. The staff here is the best I've met in all of my travels.
We ended our trip in Tamarindo for a few days of sun and relaxation. It was our first time having a close up look at Howler monkeys. We will be going back to Costa Rica!

We had a great time in Costa Rica. The trip was worry-free and well planned. We went on the mountain hike and loved it. Our guide, Oliver, was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and made it fun for us older folks. The river adventure was awesome as well. Our guide, Henry, was great. The food was amazing and the people were so friendly. Three Monkeys were always early to take us on the next adventure. Our drivers were friendly and kept us informed of where were and where we were going. We hope to return to Costa Rica in the future and will use Serendipity again. Thank you for a wonderful trip.
