We had a fabulous time in Costa Rica! We couldn't have done it without KimKim to help plan it! Everything was seamless, from the car pick-up, all the hotel check-ins, the excursion pick-ups, and even the car rental return! Holden was amazing helping us every step of the way! We absolutely loved the Tabacon Resort and the hot springs. We had a perfect afternoon spent in the spa with an amazing amount of rain coming down while we were getting messages in a covered hut! Then we rested in our room for a bit and had one of the best meals of our life and the hotel restaurant. The seven course meal with the wine pairing was a perfect way to spend our anniversary! We had a blast on the white water rafting trip and saw so many cool animals. The driving in Costa Rica took a bit to get used to, using Waze was a great tip. I would not recommend driving at night in the rain though. I think the only part of the trip we could have skipped was the guided hike in the park. We did see a lot of beautiful animals, but it pushed our long drive day into the night and compounded with rain and inexperience driving in Costa Rica was bit scary for us! Once we go to the beach and the Banana Azul the weather was much better and we had a great time snorkeling and wondering around beach towns. We absolutely loved the the BriBri Chocolate tour, the family that we visited was so welcoming and we enjoyed seeing how simply and happily they lived. Our tour guide was also very informative and made us feel comfortable visiting their home. We enjoyed all the museums in San Jose and loved visiting the La Paz waterfall garden! We loved all the effort that was put into making our trip so special. We especially loved the anniversary decorations at the Hampton Inn the night we arrived. We couldn't be more happy and relaxed after a fun trip!
Hotel Reviews
We have never seen a hotel room decorated so amazingly for our anniversary! There was a hand written note, balloons, heart shaped confetti, towels folded into swans and wine! They really went over the top to make our anniversary special! The airport shuttle was so helpful to have and worked out so well for us! I would highly recommend this hotel!
This is one of our favorite resorts we have ever stayed in! The staff was so genuinely sweet and helpful, the grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the room was new, beautiful and clean! We also had two of the best restaurant servers we have ever had in our lives! We also had a fabulous experience in the spa! It rained a ton while we were there and it only added to the fun of the experience!
