My sister was living in Samara for a few months and had planned some excursions with Brenda at the info center. She and gave me Brenda’s email address when I was starting to plan a trip to Costa Rica. She was very helpful and kind in helping us plan our trip. She made suggestions and booked all of our hotels for our entire trip. We stayed at Hotel Los Lagos in La Fortuna, El Viandante in Santa Elena, and Costa Verde in Manuel Antonio. They were all great selections! We were able to do it all by email. It was so nice to work with a local who has been to many of these locations herself or who knows people who have been there.
