Great! We'll be there July 6-10. Ask for Jill and Jim. We'll have coffee with Papagayo!

When you get to Villas del Suenos say hi to Claude and Sylvia. The resturant is wonderful.
On your way to Arenal stop at Las Pumas (a big cat rescue center, just outside of Canas). It's worth an hour or so.
In Arenal try the Baldy spa, it's less expensive that Tabicon. Also in Arenal stop at lunitica, it is an Art Gallery that has work from local artists, they have some work from the local indian womans co-op.
I can't think of a better place for a honeymoon. I wish you happiness.

Thank you for your kind words and advice--that was sweet. I will be able to take some of your advice, but unfortunately, we aren't renting a car for our trip to Arenal, we're taking a shuttle. So, some of the extra trips may be difficult! Everything sounds wonderful, however. Thanks a bunch everyone! --Azar

Hi fellows fodorins.

We are leaving for our honeymoon,tonight..so it's kinda last minute cry for help. We are flying to Liberia and staying in Calaluna villa.
Everything I read about Calaluna on posting was dated on 2003 the latest... Anyone been there lately? I have few general questions:mosquitoes? bags? any? have not read anything about it. If yes is any effective repellent we could buy there. Then: as far as we understand villa is kinda far from the city..how'z the taxi service? how available they are, reliable and how much? My hubby can't drive a car without GPS, he will get lost between three trees so renting a car is not an option ...and we have heard that roads a really bad..We don't have any particular plans on what we are going to do trip wise .. - will decided on location. Will be there for 10 days so we have time.
Please email me directly to [email protected]. Will save me time to look for an answeer..we still have packing to do.
Thanks so much
Marina.
