We are very pleased with our trip. The people we talked to were intelligent and happy to be living in Costa Rica. The food was SO good and fresh. We bought some Lizano sauce to bring home.

We had a wonderful trip. All arrangements were handled promptly and on time. With howler monkeys outside our windows and being able to walk right onto the beach, it doesn’t get better than this.
