We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the destinations included in the tour, as well as the quality of the hotels and the staff. We are also pleased to know that your lead guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and that these aspects of the trip met your expectations. We sincerely regret the coordination issues you mention, such as the delay in booking confirmation, confusion with the itinerary upon arrival, the lack of automatic updates in the app, and the issue with the Tortuguero National Park entrance fees. These are not the standards we strive to deliver, and we greatly appreciate you pointing these out, as they help us identify clear opportunities for improvement. Your experience has already been shared with our local team and partners to work on better internal communication and technological solutions that provide our travelers with up-to-date and accurate information at all times. Thank you again for your honesty and for also acknowledging the positive aspects of the tour. We sincerely hope you'll give us a second chance to offer you an experience that's not just "good," but truly "excellent." Sincerely, Andrea Rojas Destination Services Costa Rica- SB
