Review: Luxury Costa Rica Honeymoon, Arenal, Guanacaste, Hiking, Ziplining, Kayaking, White Water Rafting, Snorkeling, Romance

When my wife and I were planning our honeymoon in Costa Rica, we only knew that we wanted to spend time in the mountains and on the beach with a trip filled with adventure and relaxation. With this bare bones plan, our travel agency built us one of the most magical weeks of our lives. Their planning was meticulous down to the last detail, including a bottle of wine and native treats as soon as we landed, surprise cakes and fruit baskets on both of our birthdays, phone call reminders when required and checking in to ensure that everything was up to our satisfaction. For my birthday, my wife coordinated with our agent to deliver one of the most beautiful and romantic surprises that I could have possibly imagined. We had a private chef and server treat us to a gourmet five course meal with wine, in a private cabana that was specifically decorated for the evening. We stayed at a resort and spa in Arenal and a boutique hotel called Rio Perdido in Guanacaste. The staff at both hotels went out of their way to ensure that we felt special and comfortable during our stay there.

Special note to thank the people of Costa Rica for their hospitality and spirit. Whether it was our travel agency, our drivers, tour guides or servers, they were all respectful, well mannered and extremely patient with us. No matter how many questions we asked, they had a smile on their face and welcomed us to be a part of their culture. What more could we have asked for!!
