The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Punta Uvita. The staff provided excellent attention and service. The room had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. I truly wished I could have stayed longer, so a return trip is definitely in order!

This stay at Way to Heaven Glamping was an absolute dream! Nestled in the heart of Monteverde, the location offered both tranquility and adventure. Waking up surrounded by rainforest sounds and spotting wildlife right from my doorstep was an unforgettable experience. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, even assisting me with booking a taxi back to San Jose. Don't miss the delicious on-site restaurant and the nearby zip line for an extra adrenaline rush! Highly recommend this unique and beautiful glamping experience.

Everything. The hotel is physically beautiful -- an exotic, tropical Oasis of serenity and calm. The individual rooms facing a shimmering pool were so well appointed. It also meant I didn't have to listen to the TV or conversations in the room next door! The bed was extremely comfortable and the waterfall shower soothing. They provided both beach and swimming pool towels. The staff could not be more helpful -- they arranged tours and even escorted me to the location, they arranged a most wonderful massage in my room, and made dinner recommendations every night.

Amazing hotel. The facilities are great, clean, and well maintained. They have areas for adults and for families, which is great (we were traveling with 2 girls 1 and 3 years old). The animals that live within the premises of the hotel are also fantastic: you can spot sloths, monkeys, raccoons, hawks, and others just by walking and keeping your eyes peeled. I'd stay again here.

So, 16 years ago, we had a very different experience at the park. The interactions with the wildlife was quite exciting (and so different from anything we experienced before). Now, they very tightly regulate the food situation in the park, which I 100% understand and respect. But in so doing, the wildlife really couldn't care less about interacting with the tourists. You cannot bring food in (they will go through every nook and cranny of your back packs/bags). You have to buy food and consume it in a caged area. Think about that for a sec: now the humans are in the cage consuming the food and the wildlife is outside watching us. The irony! Anyway, the abundance of wildlife was significantly diminished on our day there. We decided to spend a day at the public beach instead of going back to ManAntonio because you can rent a cabana and a lounge for cheaper than entry to the park. Plus, they have vendors there that sell you food/drinks/trinkets, etc. The beach faces the pacific and so the waves are a bit more fun. It's a nice sandy beach that wasn't that crowded last week.

A trip to Monteverde is one of the big ticks on the list for visitors to Costa Rica. Getting there is quite hard going on dreadful roads. Not ideal for anyone with any back or joint problems. It is a wet area so expect downpours and to feel damp at all times even when it is dry outside. The main reason to visit is to see the cloud forests and for zip lining, otherwise there isn’t much else to do in the area. Other attractions such as Ranali frog pond, the butterfly garden are poor and not worth the time or money. I stayed for 3 days and it was too long. My favourite thing overall was seeing the hummingbirds at Monteverde cloud forest - not in the forest itself, but in a cafe area just before the entrance to the cloud forest!

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.
