点评:We had such a great experience in 2023 with Costa Rica Focus that we did a second trip in 2026, specifically requesting and going with the same guide. (How is that for an endorsement?) For both trips we were seeking a custom itinerary of beach time and birding, and we were willing to upgrade to having a private tour. Costa Rica Focus can provide that, so we chose them. They accommodated our requests, provided great pre-trip support, an excellent itinerary and quality lodgings. Our guide, Andrés Z., is extremely capable - beyond belief knowledgable, reliable, friendly, etc. So we had a perfect trip in 2023 and had a successful encore 3 years later, this time at different locations with different bird species sighted. I could do a slideshow of photos - I just picked a few of no particular significance.
Specifics from 2026, as written by my partner (who is the birding enthusiast): "We had a memorable experience. The trip planners with extremely helpful. Our guide was incredible. We saw an amazing variety of birds, as well as other wildlife, in a variety of environments. Our accommodations were varied, but all were clean, comfortable, and restful. Arenal Observatory lodge was delightful. Celeste Mountain Ladge and La Quinta lodge were artfully decorated and unique. The food was overall excellent."
翻译:我们在2023年参加了Costa Rica Focus的旅行团,体验非常棒,所以2026年我们又去了一次,特意要求并再次选择了同一位导游。(这难道不是最好的推荐吗?)两次旅行我们都希望行程包含海滩休闲和观鸟,并且愿意升级到私人旅行团。Costa Rica Focus正好能满足我们的需求,所以我们选择了他们。他们满足了我们的所有要求,提供了出色的行前支持、精心设计的行程和优质的住宿。我们的导游Andrés Z.非常优秀——知识渊博、值得信赖、热情友好等等。因此,我们在2023年度过了一次完美的旅行,三年后我们又成功再次前往,这次去了不同的地点,看到了不同的鸟类。我可以放一些照片做幻灯片——我只是随便选了几张没什么特别的。
2026年,我的伴侣(一位观鸟爱好者)写下了以下细节:“我们度过了一段难忘的时光。行程规划人员非常乐于助人。我们的向导非常棒。我们在各种不同的环境中看到了种类繁多的鸟类和其他野生动物。住宿条件各不相同,但都干净、舒适、令人放松。阿雷纳尔天文台旅馆令人愉悦。塞莱斯特山庄和拉昆塔旅馆的装饰别具匠心,独具特色。食物总体来说非常美味。”
