The bulk of our trip (9 days) was booked through a Gate1 Travel fly and drive package which included hotels and breakfasts. They were extremely flexible in allowing us to add two days to the 7 day package to slow down the trip to our liking. We were also able to book our car through them for the entire time. The hotels were amazing. Highly recommend--sign up for their weekly deals to be emailed to you. http://www.gate1travel.com/costa-rica-travel
During the second week we stayed on a homeaway near Montezuma. http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p240014 Here is my review: PARADISE WITH WIFI 5 of 5 My husband and I, recently retired, spent an entire week at Sol y Luna. From the moment we arrived I knew we had found paradise--and of course any great paradise also has wifi! Patricia provided us with details instructions on the area that provided a framework to do as little or as much as we wanted during our visit. On those days we felt super active we went zip-lining (yes, I actually did it!), took surfing lessons, walked to Cabuya Island, hiked Cabo Blanco, and took a snorkelling trip to Tortuga Island. Just as special were the days we spent thirty minutes watching leaf cutter ants, hung out with the capuchin monkeys or bought the perfect piece of fish from the local fishermen. If you are looking for the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation--book this rental now--before the secret is out! Green Season

Pura Vida from Costa Rica! The literal translation of Pura Vida is "pure life". However, for Ticos (native Costa Ricans) it appears to be one of those powerful multi-purpose phrases that can be tossed around as a greeting, a toast, or a general statement that life is wonderful--truly excellent--enjoy it! This sculpture by Juan Ramón Bonilla, which can be found at Teatro Nacional in San Jose, captures life--pure life. What is the mother saying to her son? Perhaps, Pura Vida? What do I wish for each of you? Psalm 91: Whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the almighty. Now that's Pura Vida! You are Always in my Prayers ... Love Mom |
