Costa Rica Quest 2
Christine, New Zealand, Jun 2024
Our tour leader was very good and the first hotel was very nice. The next one not so nice and so on. The hotel Mimos in Quepos was just about the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I found the activities to be very expensive and thought some were definitely overpriced. I was not the only one in the group to feel this way. Based on my experience in Costa read more Rica, I would not book with G Adventures again .
