We had a wonderful week at Villa Aragon. I will break down our experience. Our group consisted of 6 adults ranging from 40's-upper 70's and one 11 year old. Our flight to San Jose was about 5 hours and the drive to Villa Aragon can be up to another 5 hours. Due to this, we stayed in a hotel near the airport for the first day. I am so glad we did this not only for our comfort but the drive isn't so easy! The highway was pretty stressful for us as there was construction. The lanes would suddenly end and you had to then switch over and drive on the other side of the highway. The lane changes are not well marked so doing this at night time would be very dangerous. Going through el Zurqui (mountains) was beautiful but can really slow you down if you get stuck behind a tractor trailer. There are areas where you can pass, but it can easily get backed up. On our way in, it was rainy and very cloudy which made travel even harder. We missed the road and it took awhile to figure out how to get to the Villa (turn left at the Police Station). Check- in process was a breeze, all communication with Martha, Ale, and Ricardo was superb.We had Chef Ashton cook for us two nights. Highly recommend the cooking class with Ms. Glenda Brown, Jaguar Rescue Center, Carlos is the best guide for Cahuita National Park, and my son loved his surf lessons with Cedric! We didn't have a lot of sun, but this didn't take away from the beauty of this amazing area!
