Unforgettable Arenal/Tortuguero adventure during Green Season
Costa Rica
|
Sep 11 - Sep 17, 2024
Our trip to Costa Rica this September, 2024 during Green Season was amazing. We traveled for a work conference in Papagayo, and decided to use a travel service to organize a trip extension to several other parts of the country. We found Kimkim, and were extremely impressed from start to finish. Kimkim contracted with a local tour company, Serendipity Adventures, which was excellent. We went to Arenal and Tortuguero. Both hotels selected by Serendipity — Moana in Arenal and Mawamba in Tortuguero — were excellent, as was our driver Alex, and our guide in Arenal Mauricio. The communication with Serendipity while in country was outstanding. I would highly recommend our hotels and booking through Kimkim and Serendipity!
Hotel Reviews
Manoa was a great hotel, and the staff was very helpful. The onsite restaurant was delicious — a little pricey, but very good. Our package included breakfast which was an impressive buffet. The views of the volcano were incredible, from our room and our room. We had the benefit of seeing the volcano in all of its glory, which was lovely. The landscaping around the hotel grounds was extremely well done and encouraged a lot of bird action, especially hummingbirds. The thermal baths were really nice - a whole new thermal bath area was particularly impressive. It was like paradise. I would highly recommend.
Mawamba is located in an ideal location in Tortuguero. A short walk to town, and access to river and Caribbean coast. The grounds are beautiful and FULL of amazing animals and birds. Food was excellent and staff was very nice. If you want a room with Wi-Fi and TV you should focus on another resort. Tours offered through the resort were great and guides were very knowledgeable. You can be as active or chill while at Mawamba as you like.
Thank you for the review Lori! 🦋
I'm glad you had a great time in Costa Rica and that we were able to make a memorable trip extension. I'm glad we were able to Tortuguero into your plans!🐢
Thank you
