    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in such detail! We are so happy to know that you enjoyed our tours to Arenal Volcano, Baldi Hot Springs, and Tortuguero National Park, and that Erick, Ignacio, and Daniel did an excellent job as guides. We are also pleased to know that the transportation and accommodation logistics, including your stay at the Sleep Inn Hotel, met your expectations. We sincerely appreciate your suggestions regarding communication about towels and locker keys at Baldi, as well as dinner times. These comments are very valuable to us, and we will take them into account to improve the experience for our future travelers. We understand that details such as the lack of Wi-Fi or the natural noise in Tortuguero can be unexpected, and we appreciate you mentioning them, so other visitors are well-informed. We are glad you were able to take advantage of your free time to explore the nearby museums and sites in San José. Thank you again for recommending us. We look forward to serving you on future adventures in Costa Rica. Andrea Rojas P. Destination Services Costa Rica

    Dear Mr. Skidmore, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. 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
