Customer Reviews
There’s always compromises with a shared itinerary, but not sure there’s anything Id say should change. Overall it was great.
These are clean and simple hotels. Far from city limits.
I thought the hotel/resort in Monte Verde was beautiful and an amazing stay. The coach was comfortable and liked the WiFi and usb outlets. The itinerary was fun and I’m glad we had time to pick our own excursions or just chill if we wanted to. Horseback riding and catching the sunset was perfect and zip lining was super fun. The float on the river seeing so many monkeys in the trees was a perfect way to end the trip. Also the stop on the river for a snack and coffee was such a nice touch.
The tour guides, driver and bus were all excellent. The hotels were sufficient and some better than others with only MINOR inconveniences. I would stay at any of them a second time.
