bzv143 Posted June 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Planning on taking the Windstar Panama Canal crossing cruise this winter and want to come in a few days early to Costa Rica to spend some quality beach time with family. Any good hotel recommendations? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCOP Posted June 17, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So glad you asked this question - we are doing the same itinerary and I have been wondering about this as well! Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzv143 Posted August 8, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well, I ended up booking with Costa Rica Vacations and we got into Tango Mar for 5 nights before our cruise. Near enough to the ship; on the beach; swinging monkeys from the trees....what more can we ask for? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCOP Posted August 9, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2012 That sounds lovely! We will end the cruise in Costa Rica and only can stay for one night, due to work. Wish we had more time!!! Glad you found a place! Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogagal47 Posted August 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2012 We are ending our Panama Canal cruise in CR so we decided to spend our last day/ night at the Xandari. It gets great reviews on Trip Advisor, is near the airport and has enough going on in a resort like setting to make our last day a pleasant one. When we cruised the Costa Rica coast on Windstar 5 years ago we stayed our last two nights at Finca Rosa Blanca and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCOP Posted August 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Wow - both of those hotels are wonderful! When you stayed at the Finca Rosa Blanca, did you take a taxi from Puerto Caldera or did you arrange a transfer from the hotel?

yogagal47 Posted August 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2012 We arranged for a pick- up by Coach Costa Rica. We hired them for the day- did some sightseeing then went to a beach for lunch and also so my son could surf. At the end of the day the driver took us to the hotel. I would love to know if anyone on the boards has used Coach Costa Rica lately as it was 2007 when we used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTCOP Posted August 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I looked up Coach Costa Rica and found their website, but also cannot find any updated reviews - on here or Trip Adviser. Hope someone on here can provide some recent info. Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
