It was our first time traveling outside the US for me and my learning disabled teenager, and we don't speak Spanish, so we probably needed more help than usual, but this host was happy to arrange for everything we needed for a wonderful vacation.
The home was beautiful and immaculately maintained. The swimming pool was sparkling clean and a refreshing place to unwind in the afternoon. The views out the large picture windows were pure Costa Rica, complete with a pair of toucans that visited every day and a lawn iguana.
We went on several tours with Bunki Tours during our two week stay, including a trip to the Basilica in Cartago, the Poas volcano, Isla Tortuga catamaran tour, La Paz waterfall gardens, and monkey mangrove tour.
Marian, Aad and Sandra went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and fun in so many thoughtful ways it is impossible to list them all: booking our volcano visit at the time most likely to be clear (it was!), doing the driving and navigating to the tour locations, taking detours so we could see more of the country, helping my son step by step on the natural staircases down to the waterfalls, carrying our rain gear, running ahead to get the car so we didn't have to walk extra steps, even booking our COVID tests and providing transportation to the local lab to get them done. As the mom who is used to having to do it all and think of everything herself, this support was so much appreciated and made for a lovely and memorable vacation!
