I had no idea where to begin for this trip, but our teams from kimkim and Serendipity Adventures had us covered! Elena, Nancy and Wilman helped plan and coordinate things I didn’t even know I wanted to do. They gave us itinerary options so we could choose what was best for us. They were available for questions and even checked in regularly on our trip. They did an amazing job and we had the best adventures!

Hotel Reviews
Tabulia Tree
Manuel Antonio

The hotel room was very basic but we were not spending much time there. The gardens were beautiful. The wildlife while eating our meals kept us entertained! The pool was clean and enjoyable. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our time there.

Cleanliness & Comfort
The room was very basic with limited supplies. Even the toilet paper was portioned out.
Hotel Eco Arenal
Fortuna

This hotel was in a private garden setting. The room had everything you need. The staff was very nice and the breakfast buffet was delicious. It was very close to La Fortuna, but quiet enough to be relaxing. The grounds were kept well and the pool area was clean and inviting.

This was a lot of fun and it was all due to the staffs’ attitude. It was rainy and people were glum, but they got everyone up and going. The food was good, too.
