Self Drive Tours in Costa Rica

We didn’t like it at all. We had an apartment upstairs with no elevator. The condition was bad. The shower faucet didn’t work. No breakfast included

We loved the room. There were so many birds in the beautiful gardens. The pool was lovely too.

The room, restaurant and pool were very nice. I enjoyed the open air lobby.

Our guide David was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was amazing to see the cocoa fruit and taste it. The different stages of the chocolate making process was interesting. The plain chocolate was bitter but the chocolate as you add milk and sugar was delicious. The coffee segment of the tour was just as enjoyable. Watching the lady roast the beans was intriguing. David ground the beans and brewed the coffee . It was very tasty. The farm had many different plants including pineapple. Also we saw a “blue jeans” frog on the property. Everything was fabulous.

We were there for 1 night at the end of our trip to be closer to the airport. It is a very charming hotel.

This hotel had amazing hot spring pools, swim up bar. Everything was very tropical. Breakfast included every day was very good. Lots to do and see on the property - did horseback riding, a very nice spa. Room was spacious and cleaned every day.

The rainforest night walk was fun, saw lots of night critters. Dinner at the Mendez family home was welcoming and delicious.

Spectacular views and great accommodations. We saw monkeys in the trees from our deck.

Instead of doing this we went ahead and booked our own fishing trip through the hotel. I tried to book fishing with KimKim but they didn’t offer any fishing trips. This is the only disappointing part of dealing with KimKim. They should be able to set you up with a fishing trip too.

Better than expected. It wasn’t obnoxious like other ‘booze cruise’ experienced I have had. Pretty views. Relaxing time.

We saw many different animals. It felt a little contrived though as we were in a preserve that was between a couple of farm fields. The guide was great and we did see a sloth as well as an owl.

Beautiful hike with a very informative guide. We learned a lot about the area.

This was in the heart of the rain forest….so it rained of course. We saw plenty of wildlife. The hanging bridges were slightly unnerving but the views were incredible. The lunch that was included was above expectations.
