DESPITE the 4 out of 6 days of torrential rain (and this is the DRY season in Costa Rica), we had a terrific time. Unfortunately, we couldn't do some of the activities we had hoped to, given the weather, but overall, the rain did not put a damper on our spirits. The rains were a real fluke - even villagers nearby had to be evacuated, so how can how we complain about not getting a tan?
We were treated like family at the Selva Bananito lodge - everyone pitched in to make our stay enjoyable. At Cariblue, the rain kept us in our rooms, but the desk and wait staff were very friendly. Very helpful people at the Hotel Bergerac in San Jose.
All of our transfers were perfect. Even when we had to zip line across a river, with lodge staff zipping with our luggage (since torrential rains made it impossible to drive across) our taxi was waiting for us at the other side!
