Charlotte and Marc were amazing to work with leading up to our wedding and we were so lucky to have Charlotte at the wedding! Her attitude is amazing and she made all of our guests feel comfortable and excited at all times - she made me a very happy bride! Not to mention that Charlotte and Marc made the most delicious and creative custom cocktails with our preferences for a couple coffee based and all to be just as enjoyable as mocktails! It was a blast working with them and looking forward to using them again for future family events! Thank you thank you so much Charlotte and Marc for everything - so sorry for the delayed review! Our memories from that day live on and you are always in them!

This was slightly confusing upon our arrival, but we figured it out. Upon our arrival (those of us who are on time), were greeted by Amber! She caught onto our family banter quickly and went through the Do's & Don'ts. There were 50 of us, so we certainly needed this. The Lodge is spacious and multiple beautiful views. I watched the sunrise over the mountains on the spa balcony every morning. A great way to prepare yourself for the chaos of a family reunion, and just Be for a moment! The Lodge had plenty of space for eating together, games and we even put on a talent show! The game room and dining area were the most used. We had ages from 4-months to old AF, and everyone enjoyed themselves. The Lodge is in close proximity to Purgatory, Bears Ranch (horseback riding), trails, water leisure, and a local bar, The Nugget. This was a great unforgettable reunion! Thank you for having us!!!

The "queen" bed a little smaller than pictured, but was okay for the price. Overall, missing a few things like paper towels, ice, coffee, and some items/ pillows in need of updating.

They have delicious complimentary cookies by the front desk each day. The AC in our room worked great. There is plenty of parking but the spaces are narrow. The room and beds are comfortable. CONS: the elevator has a string smell of oil and there is no AC in it. The secondary security barrier on our door was broken. The bathroom fan and water pressure were weak. The TP is so thin and cheap that you can't cleanly tear off squares. The complimentary breakfast was lacking. The juice machine was broken and the OJ provided was watered down. There was no cold cereal. The scrambled eggs were watery. Bottom line: our second visit was not as nice as the first and for that reason we will probably not stay here for future visits.

I placed the order for a group of neighbors to send flowers to a neighbor in the hospital with a…read moreserious condition. We ordered a "Natalie's Favorite Blooms" bouquet, and increased it to The Best with a base cost of $269. With delivery and tip, the final bill was $341.19. We all expected something spectacular with a big Wow factor to brighten up our friend' hospital room and home when she was released two days later. You'll see from the photos, we didn't feel the value was worth it. Also, the bouquet was noticeably wilted and a bit sparse after four days. The owner explained that the photo didn't do it justice because the flowers are mostly locally grown and generally last 3-5 days. We wish we had been aware of these very important details. We just didn't find the kind of value we had expected.

The venture started on a cold and snowy day in Wichita, Kansas. I wanted to schedule a trip for myself and my three sons, so I began to look at traveling to Costa Rica. The trip soon expanded and included two of my childhood friends who brought their sons. Eight people went on the trip. As I searched the Internet, I came across Daniel Ross' business-scheduling trips to Costa Rica. His internet sites are: Jacobeachvacations.com; gofishing.com and bachelorpartybaycr.com. We wanted a day of fishing and other activities such as surfing and touring on ATVs. After I told Dan what we wanted, he masterfully arranged the entire trip, including transportation from, and to, the airport. We elected to have to meals provided for us. Each meal was absolutely superb. All of Dan's group was so nice, polite, and helpful. Before I booked the trip with Daniel, I did a Google search of his name and the AI portion connected Daniel to the business that he actually runs plus a used car business that he has nothing to do with. Because of the AI report, I had serious concerns about dealing with him. After talking to Daniel, I discovered that there was no concern. I am thankful that I trusted my instincts, and not the AI portion of Google, because he gave us a trip of a lifetime. I have absolutely no concerns about dealing with Daniel's group or recommending that others use his services. I've traveled a lot during my life and the whole trip was well-planned by Daniel and just fantastic. There were no hiccups or problems with the trip. Thank you Dan and your fantastic crew for providing a bucket list trip at an affordable price.

Bachelor Party Bay Costa Rica - Where do I begin? I was put in charge of planning my best friend's…read morebachelorette party in April. Of course I tend to procrastinate when it comes to things like this so I'm so glad I had Bachelor Party Bay to back me up. They literally helped with nearly aspect of our trip, from where we would stay to what activities we'd do during the day. Our host Dan was quick to respond to all of our questions and was kind and patient with our crazy group of girls. To make the process easier we choose a party package for our group of 12 girls. It included four nights at a beautiful mansion in Los Suenos, a party boat for our whole group to enjoy, and a ziplining trip. We also got to spend some time on the water. Our package included a fishing tour as well as white water rafting. Needless to say we had a blast and were glad to get a package that included activities most of us had never tried before and would have never thought of trying on our own. What I liked most about Bachelor Party Bay is how easy they were to work with. Throughout the entire party planning process, my questions were promptly answered and I was reassured that everything would go smoothly - and it did. The only snag we ran into was one of the girl's got a little seasick on the party boat. Of course, that probably had more to do with how much she drank and less with the actual boat ride. Most importantly, the bride-to-be had the time of her life. She's not your typical girly girl and loved all the outdoor adventures, especially the white water rafting tour. All of us also loved going back to our mansion in the evening, stripping down into our bathing suits, and lounging by the pool. Our accommodations included everything we needed, from a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen to the steamy Jacuzzi tub. I am completely impressed with the experience from start to finish. I'm also in the process of planning another bachelorette party for my sister at the end of summer and will no doubt be contacting Dan and the rest of the team over at Bachelor Party Bay to help me out. If you're hosting any type of celebration, I highly recommend a trip to Costa Rica. To help you plan the ultimate party, definitely go with Bachelor Party Bay.
