HIGHLIGHTS

We rented a huge house with a private chef, security, pool, and waterfall hike on-property and grabbed 5 of our closest friends to join us on this adventure.

We visited Manuel Antonio National Park, took a Quad tour (in the rain), zip-line’d, and went deep sea fishing….in addition to spending a LOT of time in the pool at the house!

OUR NOT-SO-FAVORITE THINGS

Since we didn’t have our own vehicle, and the property was waaaaaaaaayyy back in the rain forest of Dominical, we had to plan our outings in advance to arrange the driver.

WHY WE PICKED THIS LOCATION

We had 1 week of time off work, so needed a relatively convenient location for us (from Colorado) and all our old college friends (from California).

We had never been to Costa Rica before, and had heard about this specific rental property from a colleague, who had a fabulous time there with a group of friends.

This seemed like a spot that would provide a good mix of lounging and fun activities.
