We have arrived
Currently in a nice hotel in San José, Costa Rica, and it is 2am local time and 8am back home. So i'm starting off with a classic case of jet lag. To the airport Due to the flooding last week which meant we were close to being unable to get to the main road from our house, we decided to book into the travelodge at Heathrow T5. It was a usual …
Costa Rican food
Typical Costa rican food is black beans and rice with some meat like pork or chicken, as we had at a roadside cafe in Aleuja. Meals are huge, American style portions, so we ended up sharing or asking for kids portions. One of the first words we learned was wheat flour- could read it but our pronunciation was so bad that no one ever understood what …
Costa Rican Tang
Hola Everyone,
Our first full day in Costa Rica was spent driving from San Jose to Playa Grande. On the map, this looked like a nice 5 hour drive, giving us lots of time to enjoy the countryside of Costa Rica. Now, that we have experience it, I will more accurately describe the event as 5 hours of harrowing driving on one lane roads where …
Lovin' costa rica from the get go
i left el castillo on the first boat heading up the river at 5am. supposedly this boat was the 'express', but it still managed to take 3 hrs (stopping to pick up every river-hitcher under the sun...well, moon at this hour). but it was, by far, the most beautiful ride of my life. the sun wasn't up yet...so a thick layer of mist had …
The Battle for the Forest

They would not get permission from MINAE to do this, so the plantation was doing this illegally in order save money. We left the men and called MINAE to alert them.

“ A relaxing day by the pool ”
Reviewed Dec 3, 2012
We're a family of four starting a 9 month trip to Latin America. La Rosa was our starting point and have been great. They organised a pick-up which went very smoothly and we had a relaxing day by the pool to recover from our travels. The pool is lovely, the staff helpful and relaxed, and we were able to walk to a local cafe for lunch. We ate at the hotel - first guests at their restaurant for the season.

“ Great stopover after a long flight ”
Reviewed Feb 8, 2012
We were very happy with our night at La Rosa. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with lots of nice fruit, bread, eggs, and cheese. I also appreciated the efforts they took to make such lovely gardens
