What is the food like? What is the difference between the three different type of rooms? What should we do while staying there except hike (we can only take short hikes, but are otherwise physically fine)?
Anyone recall the price of a cocktail and the price of a bottle of wine?

Now I KNOW someone can respond to this. . .

Tried to respond yesterday, but message didn't post. Try again. The food at CC is ok. Not bad, but certainly nothing special. Most everything needs to be flown in there, so what they dish up tends to be kind of institutional. They seem to strive for a "continental cuisine" thing that means meats with sauces etc. Therefore reach often exceeds grasp. Would have preferred simpler regional food. Breakfasts were best as I recall, and the picnic lunches they made us for excursions.

I think the difference among the rooms is size and location. We stayed in #11 I believe, which was a newish duplex - though cleverly laid out so one size was the reverse floor plan of the other (in other words, our bedroom backed to their living room.) We liked our tropical cabana. Nice bed with mosquito netting. Nice tiled bath. spacious enough for the two of us. A living room area we never used (furnished with hard straight back wood chairs - design appropriate - but not at all appealing to sit in. But no matter, we weren't into sitting around there anyway. This cabin was nicely located in that it fronted directly onto the forest - easy access to one of the paths on the property. I saw a blue morpho butterfly the minute I stepped out for the first time. Stunning!

If I were choosing a cabin I might go for #1, which I remember as larger. round, and "off to itself" nestled in trees. When we were there several years ago (2002), they had the most spectacular fireflies lighting near there (the occupants had invited us for a drink). Nevertheless we were quite happy with #11. The gounds of CC are just lovely and the staff very nice. We loved its remoteness, the adventure of getting there and all the wildlife we saw on the property and in the pak. Don't recall the price of a bottle of wine or cocktails but think they were quite reasonable - at least by my US urban standard. What should you do?
Take as many short walks as you're able (some nice ones on the property itself). Sit by the pool. Definitely go to the sunset bar for drink each dusk to watch sunset over the ocean.
Have staff deliver you down to their private beach (assuming here it may be too far for you to walk). Watch for scarlet macaws often seen there. Dip in the ocean (though current was rough when we were there), lounge in a chair in the shaded area near the beach. Go on the Cano Island trip to snorkel if you can. It's a wonderful place, think you'd be pleased. Let me know if you have any other specific questions. .

Thank you for your reply. Now I only wish we were leaving sooner!

Sometimes the anticipation can be just as much fun. I almost hate to see my trips down there arrive because then I know everything is almost over-at least for a few months. Always another trip down in the works for us. Costa Rica is a fascinating place.
