I would love to go to Costa Rica…?

admin — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:32:03 +0000

My husband and I want to go somewhere exotic this summer. I have been looking at Costa Rica and it looks beautiful and very interesting. Do any of you know where I can get a good package deal? We want to stay 6-8 days for as inexpensive as possible.
Thank you!
I forgot to add that I will be 6 months pregnant at the end of June… That kind of limits what activities we are able to take advantage of.
I have been looking at vacation rentals there, also. After reading the advice from you all, I am leaning more that way. We may take another couple with us and get a NICE house and go where we want.
Thanks for all your help! I can’t wait to go!

There are so many hotels that are open and waiting for business, there are more open rooms than you can imagine. I would just fly here and not get a "package deal" It helps if you speak some spanish. Go to San Jose for one day.. stay at a place in the Central area, you can take a taxi to the central part from the airport for about 15 USD.. from there stay at a place called Morazon.. this is a seedy joint, but it is clean and about 35 bucks a night. They have a web site and you may need to make a reservation for this. From there I would head south. You can take a bus (MUSOC) you can ask any taxi driver to take you to the station. It will cost you about 4 bucks per person to go to a town called San Isidro de General. The bus leaves every hour on the half hour starting from 5:30 in the morning to 5:30 at night.. somtimes they have a bus at 6:30 on Sunday) this bus goes back and forth between these two towns. You go over a really high mountian pass, and it is quite beautiful to look out the windows, it is safe and you are with local people so you see alot of things you would not normaly see. You get to San Isidro in about 3 hours.. the town is nice, growing, but still quaint. There are shops, bars and things to see and do.. I would stay there one day and one night, from there go to Dominical Beach, you can take a bus from San Isidro to Dominical. It should cost you about 1.50 USD for a ticket. They leave (i think) at 7, 11 and 4:30 this bus can be crowded and hot, so it is best to get a ticket early so you have a seat. It is about 25k to Dominical. Somtimes it takes 1.5 hours, sometimes it can take 3, but you also go over another mountian pass, pass through some nice towns and end up on the Pacific Coast. Stay a few days in Dominical. It is cheap (can find rooms for 10 bucks a night) just ask around. From there go North to a city caled Quepos. You can leave Dominical and go to Quepos. I warn you on this bus, it is safe, but it is 35k or so of pure dirt road, passing through Palm Oil farms, stuff like that. It is hot and a hard ride, but it can also be fun if you are adventerous. I think that bus leaves at 5:30 in the morning… I would take that bus becasue it is cooler and you get into Quepos early. Get a room in Quepos… Again there are lots of places to stay for cheap…ask around. The same place the bus drops you off (the end of the line so you wont get confused) you can walk aound Quepos for a day then take a bus (from the same station you got off of) to Manual Antonio, this is about a 30 minute ride from Quepos. They have lots of thigs to see there, a National Park, nice beach and lots of people to watch. It is a tourist trap, but it is very beautiful. From Quepos, take a bus to San Jose…or to Jaco… It is on the way back to San Jose …Jaco of you have more time.. another beach town, more touristy than Domical but fun…lots of shops, beach and people to see. Then head back to San Jose. This is a nice trip, easy to do, safe and it shoud take you 6 to 8 days…good luck..

Costa Rica or cruise for honeymoon?

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 05:08:07 +0000

Costa Rica seems beautiful and its less expensive, found a package for 1k includin airfare, but im worried about safety and the hassle it would be to fly there. I would want to enjoy nitelife but many say its not safe. The cruises are double but include food and would seem safer and there is plenty to do. It also seems easier to plan since costa rica i would have to do tours and look up nearby attractions. Overall which place is better?

Do a cruise to Costa rica. At first a cruise does seem more expensive, but when you include, at least about $150 a day for food, then renting a car, I would best a cruise is cheaper. Now a Panama canal cruise goes to Costa Rica and many other places, so you could have it all. Cruises are safe. You will have no worries about where to eat, where to go, and what to do as all of that is prearranged. With cruising you can set up shore excursion in advance so you know exactly what you will be doing the next day Nothing is more fun and relaxing then a cruise. BTW, loved Costa Rica and to this day, still buy my coffee there(cafe Britt, they ship).

SURFERS – How much would you pay for a week in Costa Rica?

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:52:58 +0000

If you were going to stay in a condo (very recently remodeled, fully furnished, including all kitchen stuff) in Costa Rica on a surfing package (including transportation) – right on a good surf beach, reef and beach breaks, good for wind and kite surfers too – how much would you pay for a week? We are trying to get some guidelines on how to price competitively without losing money.

Lap Sleeve Gastrectomy Abroad – Costa Rica Medical Tourism Testimonial

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:11:04 +0000

http://www.medicaltourismco.com//weight-loss/bariatric-surgery.php
Peggy and Debra Berg, the mother-daughter duo from California, had their lap gastric sleeve operation in Costa Rica on the same day by the same bariatric surgeon in the same hospital. This video was recorded 11 months after their sleeve gastrectomy surgery in Costa Rica.
They had tried all kinds of diets like Weight watchers, south east diet, fruit diet, and so on. They also tried working out in the gym.
Because of their higher BMI, they had problems like knee pain and co-morbidities like high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
But gastric sleeve in the US was beyond their budget. Another problem they faced was that Peggy was considered ineligible for bariatric surgery in the US. She was 70 years old when she got the surgery done; 60 is the cut-off for weight loss surgery in the US.
So, they researched on the net for cheaper options for sleeve resection surgery and found Medical Tourism Corporation. They decided on Costa Rica for their weight loss surgery and ended up saving about 40% of what theyd have to pay in the US.
Debra is pleased that Medical Tourism Corporation answered all the questions, and she asked many.
The hospital in Costa Rica to which they went had all the modern equipment and the staff was courteous and professional. There were always English-speaking people around them or they had interpreters. They stayed in private rooms at the hospital which were spacious enough for a companion.
Post-gastric sleeve surgery, Debra lost 80 pounds and Peggy 55. Their general health has improved drastically.
Other discount obesity surgeries Medical Tourism Corporation offers abroad are lap band, gastric bypass, and duodenal switch surgeries. Mexico, Belgium, and India are other popular bariatric surgery destinations surgery packages morbid obese surgery Costa Rica self pay bariatric surgery abroad cash price gastric bypass Costa Rica affordable bariatric surgery abroad obesity clinics Costa Rica bariatric centers Costa Rica Vertical Sleeve (Gastrectomy) surgery Costa Rica hospital clinica biblica CIMA San Jose Dr Jacobo Zafrani Dr. Carlos Francisco Quesada Ramirez Dr Mario Sainz Ramirez recovery time for gastric sleeve

WHat is Costa Rica like?

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:27:38 +0000

My bf and I are planning a trip somewhere for one week in the middle of May. We are looking at Costa Rica as a possibility. We found a couple all inclusive packages to Liberia (Allegro Papgayo or Villas San Tol). We are just wondering what the weather, beaches and crime, wildlife and food is like there. Is it a good place to visit?? Has anyone stayed at any of the two resorts and if so how were they?

Costa Rica is a tropical paradise, plain and simple. It is also a Third World nation with lots of poverty. While crime is not rampant, you would do well to travel wisely. If you take a resort package, you are totally safe while on the premises.

I do hope you will take some side trips, though. The resort experience is very sterile and doesn’t truly give you a good sense of the people or the culture.

When you leave the premises of the resort, you should engage the services of a guide who can drive you and show you around. Check with the concierge to make these arrangements. Use common sense: do not venture into places that are not well populated; stay out of alleys and backstreets. Stay where you see tourists. Be mindful of your purse, camera, backpack, etc. Don’t lay things on the table at the cafe. Do not hang your purse on the back of a chair. Be wise and be careful.

There are a lot of websites that give loads of information about CR. You will find the people lovely and accommodating as tourism is a huge industry. The local cuisine incorparates a lot of local seafood and produce. (The fresh fruit is to die for and when you come home, you will no longer be satisfied by the rubbish we get at the supermarkets.)

The weather is fairly consistent: sunny, warm, pleasant with occasional rain each day. The beaches are pristine and unspoiled. Make sure you schedule a canopy tour in the rainforest. Spectacular fun!

I’ve not stayed at a resort anywhere and would not, simply because of the sterile environment, but I have traveled a great deal and am comfortable on my own in most places. Again, check the websites and check in with a travel agent to get more info.
