Hi Grettel,
Just wanted to thank you for a fabulously planned trip. My mother and I loved the Pacuare Jungle Lodge -- Everyone there was so great -- including the other guests and wow the river suite was sooo cool. Cholo our guide was amazing. He's a rock star!
Also loved the Hotel in Santa Elena as well as in San Jose. You live and learn what your tastes are -- I guess I learned I liked those hotels because they were very nice and boutique. The one in La Fortuna was a little too big and touristy, (not criticizing your choice, it was a nice hotel, but now I know more what I like).
All the transports were on time and really friendly. I do hope we tipped enough or too much. We were never sure. Any guidance in that area?
FYI went to two restaurants in Santa Elena that I'd recommend -- Chimara and Sophies (same gal owns both.)
Overall Costa Rica is so beautiful. Thanks again. Hope to vacatio in CR again and spend time on both coasts.
Cheers,
Kathy
