Chris_A, Feb 2024
Chose this trip as it did all the places I wanted to see. Trip was excellent. Accommodation was excellent on the whole (just one place was average), I particularly liked El Encanto Hotel (Cahuita). This trip also presented better value than booking a complete package and also other than alternatives that did go to all the places this trip did (although I notice there has been a significant price increase). Only minor gripe was lack of information at the very start and some unclear.
