Marissa was very informative & accommodating.
Overall, it was a wonderful trip. We enjoyed the other people on the tour very much. Probably, the one thing that I would change, would be to fly into Limon', or some other airport. San Jose was our first impression of Costa Rica, and it wasn't a good one.
Loved staying in different parts of Costa Rica, and having different activities already planned. Our guides, Mario & Felipi, did an amazing job--we loved both of them. They went way beyond our expectations.
We enjoyed the accommodations--liked that they were not franchises. We didn't care for San Jose at all--thought it may have been better to stay out by the airport. Most hotels were good, and one was excellent. (Arenal Volcano)
We were a little surprised at how cool & rainy the weather was for the dry season. We brought a fleece jacket as recommended, and wore it most of the time, until we reached the beach. i had wished the info would have told me to bring warmer clothes. We were expecting cool evenings and some rain, but not everyday. This was their "dry season."
