Costa Rica honeymoon review!

We went to Costa Rica for 9 days at the end of August.  It was absolutely incredible.  The first night we were there we stayed in a great hotel in San Jose (Hotel Grano Del Oro).  They had the best breakfast and coffee!  From there we took a tiny domestic flight (seriously, there were 2 other passengers on the flight!) to the North West Coast to our all inclusive resort (Paradisus Playa Conchal).  We had upgraded to Royal Service, which was a wonderful idea!  We didn't spend much time by the beach, because the Royal service pool was so amazing and there were no kids!  We were there for 4 nights.  The food was amazing and plentiful.  We took a half day ATV/ ziplining tour.  It ended up being a private tour because it was the low season.  We rode ATVs on the beach for an hour to the ziplining site, rode the ziplines and hiked for 2 hours, and then rode the ATVs back.  We had a blast!From the resort, we were driven about 5 hours away to our next hotel (El Silencio Lodge and Spa).  It was a beautiful small resort (16 suites) in the cloud forest.  We were about 6000 feet in elevation.  It rained every afternoon and evening there, but it didn't matter.  It was beautiful.  Three local and organic meals a day were included and we were treated by royalty!  We had a hot tub on our private front porch which was great.  The turn down service there was wonderful!  Two of the nights there, they set up a special table by the fireplace for dinner because they knew we were on our honeymoon.On our last full day in Costa Rica, we went on another private tour to the Arenal volcano.  We drove around to some scenic spots and then we got to spend the afternoon at the Tabacon hot springs.  It was wonderful!Overall, the honeymoon was the trip of a lifetime and we had an incredible time!

  • We went through a travel agent in Chicago.  Costa Rica Experts.  I know you can work with them online too.  We worked with Aaron.  They were fantastic though!
