Hi everyone. It is now one week since I returned to Florida from my three-week stay in Costa Rica. I am missing it already and planning my next trip. I wanted to give my readers a heads up about a wonderful place to stay inside Jaco. It is called Villa Creole. The host is Delphine and she is a local artist originally from France. She made it her business to make me comfortable and secure. Great place for those seeking beauty and quiet relaxation, very close to town and the beach.

I also want to introduce everyone to 5 Monkey's Tour Company. They handle everything from a pickup at the airport to numerous outings and tours that will make your Costa Rican Vacation a time to remember without any worries about what to do, and how to get there. I will have much more to tell you about them in my next post.

Until next time, let your watch be a compass and start planning a trip to Jaco, Costa Rica. If I can help or answer any questions you may have, please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].

Just spent a great weekend in Manuel Antonio at the beach. Highly recommend local hotel called Peace of Paradise. Staff were so accommodating and efficiency unit very clean and comfortable. Open deck on back of unit was an added bonus and you cannot beat the budget friendly price. I will return soon.
