My family went last march on spring break(14&15yr old boy and girl)man we had a blast in every way imaginable except the "whitewater rafting".It was still alot of fun but the rafting was pretty lame.Food was great,Hotels were great,guides were amazing.You get 2 vac.kind of.1is Arenal where its not so hot,but super lush and 1 in Manuel Antonio where it is smokin".We had some nice beach time at M.A.and if you and the kid ever want to wander off by yourself,the guides will do their best to help ya out.We all stayed at the city beach on our last day and had some darn good body surfin.My highlight was simply makin coffee and checkin the sunrise out by the pools at the Kioro.I started out in total darkness and was serenaded by howler monkeys(a sound youll never forget)the moon rising and the sun rising along with a clear volcano a couple miles in the distance.Awesome coffee too I might add.I wasnt in Kansas anymore!!Zip lining was cool,Pineapple trip was pretty fun,and we did a coffee plantation tour,which was way better than it sounds!
