trip to Costa Rica

- hotel el parador
Two years ago we made a trip probably the best that we ever have made so far.
My boyfriend and I decided to book a trip to Costa Rica. We traveled a couple times before through Maduro travel and had decided to book again with them. With the assistance from Nelly we found a nice trip and after talking and looking we decided to add a couple days to relax. All right from the start everything was perfectly arranged. We were picked up from the airport,brought to the hotel and allready one hour later somebody called to check is everything was allright and explained about the next day.
The next morning we were picked up on time and traveled to the east part of Costa Rica. After a couple hours driving we had to go on a boot and traveled hours through the jungle to the resort. What a beautiful trip that first day allready. The resort was nice, the area stunning and we saw the first monkeys and crocodiles. We went on a tour through the jungle, saw six leatherbacks lying eggs on the beach in one night and we had a great tourguide who knew everything about the wildlife. The next day we did a canopy tour and went with the boot to see more crocodiles etc. The day after that we went to the Volcano arenal. Again everything perfect arranged. The vulcano was awesome. Amazing to sit in front of your cabin and look at the Volcano at night. The next day we went to the waterfalls on a horse, we climbed on a side of the vulcano and jumped into the hot water spring Spa. One day later we went in to the mountains to another jungle. we made a night tour and saw a lot of creepy creatures crawling around. This hotel was so peacefully. And the staff gave us an upgrade on the rooms without asking, just because it was low season and quite. I never had a bigger room in my life before.
The last part of the trip went to Quepos. Wauw. A beautiful hotel on a hill overlooking the ocean and a natural park. The restaurant was on the second floor where the monkeys were sitting in the trees next to us. Again an upgrade for the rooms without asking. We booked a couple days more here to relax and it was well worth it. This is a hotel to come back to. I hardly go back to the same place twice, but this hotel.. ( El Parador, Quepos.. remember that name, you won’t regret this). We went to the natural park, went on a tour to see some dolphins and went horse back riding again and on that trip we saw like 30 monkeys jumping above our heads from one side of the road to another. This trip was truly amazing. we went in the low season what was also the rainy season in Costa Rica, but we were glad that we went in that period. We just has a couple showers and because it was low season and quit we had better rooms and saw a lot more wild animals.
Thanks to Nelly to help arrange this super trip and we will certainly go back to Costa Rica.
