The beds were pretty comfortable, the unit was quiet and the different rising times didn’t interfere with the ones who wanted to sleep in a little. The kitchen was spacious for a couple of people to help with meals. We cooked a few times starting with the first breakfast of chorizos on the BBQ with scrambled eggs and peppers on the stove top made into breakfast burritos. We brought the two chairs from the annex and sat eight around the dining table comfortably. Lots of options for restaurants when we didn’t want to cook or were out on the road.

We ate well, the weather was great and so was the scenery. The first couple of days we got lost until we found the right CR road app that sent us only to passable roads- google maps took us to the shortest routes but a bad storm a little while before we arrived meant those were very often washed out.

The staff of the resort were all friendly and helpful. The pools were crystal clear and the food was excellent. The restaurant had changed hands and name but the new chef prepared one of the best ceviche that my daughter and boyfriend have had and they have eaten it all over the world. The four younger ones of our party went there for supper one night and each had a different dish- nothing but complements...

Three of us went scuba diving with Rocket Frog Divers - unfortunately the visibility was not great but they liked the dive master and team ( my daughter and friend are licensed adventure divers who live in coastal Australia so they may be spoiled..). We went to Rincon de la Vieja and hiked, saw the rescued wildlife at Diamanté ( a little pricey but the animals are very well housed and taken care of), walked and Zip- lined at Monteverde with the SKY company- the drive to the canopy forest is long ( and quite an experience going up to that height)but we stopped to see the falls at Bagaces and made a day of it. A great week making memories..thank you to Anthony for responding so quickly when our flight arrival was delayed by five hours due to broken fan blade, and thank you for having such a comfortable place for our family and friends to hang out!
