This was a wonderful experience of a trip filled with adventures. The diverse group of people from various parts of the world were brought together by Steff, our CEO who was enthusiastic and warm and participated in many activities with us, and made everything sound exciting as it really was.
I had not been on holiday for over a decade before I embarked on this trip, so suffice to say I had high expectations! Costa Rica had been on my list ever since a colleague visited the country two years ago, and it was well worth the wait. We were fortunate enough to only have eight travellers, which meant that our guide, Jonathan, had ample time to answer all of our questions.
If you are looking for a holiday which will give you eight hours of sleep a night then this trip is not for you. We were up for breakfast before 8am every day and despite there being several optional extra activities listed on the trip notes, we didn't have time to do any of them as we were constantly on the go! I felt as though I was away for six months or more, and I enjoyed moving to a new area of the country every few days. Each hotel we stayed at had a different style suited to the area of the country we were in - rainforest lodge, spa resort, mountain hotel, ranch, beach hotel. The food was wonderful - all breakfasts are included and on the days when our lunch and/or dinner weren't included, we never felt hungry.
I'm not really a traveller, but I really liked the trip. It was very good organised and if we had a problem, we could count on our CEO who was always available. Costa Rica is a very beautiful land and most of the activities show us that beauty. We had a divers but lovely group which made the trip that much pleasant.
