We aew so glad that you enjoyed it here. What a nice young family you are raising. We all enjoyed your company.

Thanks so much for your detailed description of our place. We are glad you had time to explore the grounds with José, and let him show you some of the wonders of our Rainforest! We worked for a long time together on your schedule, but it was worth it! What a fun trip. You have an adventurous family and we enjoyed having you at Light of Dawn. 🌴😎🌴

And thank you for recognizing the very special partners we have working us. We are so grateful to have to their help.

Oh, thank you for all your kind words and the beautiful pictures that you posted. We enjoyed your group very much, and are happy that everything worked out so well. We will keep the glasses chilled until you return to Light of Dawn and our magical Rain Forest! Pura Vida (pure life) 🌺

Thank you so much for all your kind remarks! It was truly a pleasure having you here. You have "Friends in the Forest now", and we all send you are warmest regards from Light of Dawn. 🤗

Yes we are very fortunate to have him as a guide and partner. He grew up in this area and people really appreciate his knowledge as he shows them the secrets of the Rain Forest. He does the Guided Nature Tour with Waterfall Swimming (Complimentary with your stay); and a discounted price to our guests for the Jungle Night Tour, Horseback Riding through Ancient Trails Tour, and a Gold & Treasure Hunting Tour for Children. All of these take place on enchanting Light of Dawn property. We are glad that you enjoyed it. It was very nice having your family here!

Oh gosh, you were the most remarkable family. We honestly enjoyed every minute with you.. You all had such a deep appreciation for nature and the secrets of the Rain Forest. It brightened our spirits, just being in your company and you will forever be welcomed as part of the Light of Dawn family. 💞

What a lovely family, raising 2 terrific young men. It was so nice to see them glowing with excitement. You all fit here like a glove and it was honestly a joy to have you! Best wishes from your friends at Light of Dawn! 🌴

You guys were really wonderful to have at Light of Dawn rainforest. The High Season is filling up so fast; but you were the first to group to kick it off, and we thought that you were so refreshing. Come again any time! 🌴😎🌴

You two were really fun, and so adventurous! 4 wheel drive is always a good idea on Costa Rica, because the roads are different than the US. This is true mostly in during the wet Rainy Season. However, we are just now entering the dry High Season. During these months, many people do come up without 4 wheel. Pura Vida!

It was wonderful having you and your lovely family here at Light of Dawn! Pura Vida (pure life)

Dear guest, We're glad that you enjoyed your vacation at Light of Dawn. We started working with you last Nov, helping you w/ all the details of your trip. This included many changes along the way; and as your plans altered, and I made those changes to accomodate your schedule as we went along. We set up 7 different tours for you, in addition to a Private Chef for your family of 6, and yes, we were kind enough (as a courtesy), to go out and shop for one of your other dinners, so you could just relax with your family members one night. If you read our views, we do this for all of our guests who request our services, because we understand all the many little things that can save our guests time, money, and disappointment. (People can lose so much vacation time trying to arrange things in a different country at the last minute). Reservations fill up fast during High Season, and it is easy to miss doing activities that you may have been counting on. So we like to assist them as much as possible ahead of time, so they can just arrive, relax, and enjoy their time together. All through the week, you repeatedly told us how much you appreciated all of the time and effort we put into helping you over those months to make this trip as enjoyable & seamless as it was. You remarked about how one of your meals w/ Cleo the Chef, was "The Best meal that you have had in your entire life". The only thing that got "weird" was that you decided that you did not want to go on one of the tours at the very last minute, without giving them any notice; and you refused to pay a nominal cancelation fee. I explained to you that these tours are small, hard-working, family owned businesses, that depend on High Season to get by. You still threw a fit and refused to pay them. All tourists pay a deposit when booking tours in CR. As a courtesy, these companies do not require deposits from our guests because we have worked with them for 20 years, and they trust us. There is a legal limit of spaces they can fill per tour, and they held these spots for you for many months. So as a matter of basIc business integrity .... I paid your fees for you. I guess that is what you meant by " I think we worked it out" ...? How unfortunate and sad that you seem to have no sensitivity or emphathy for the people of a country who welcomed you so warmly.

I appreciate your frustration. In our defense, against our strong advice, you came without a car, even though we strongly advised against this (we are in a location where a car is really necessary). We take extra care with all of our guests to explain things in great detail about our place, to be sure it is a good fit for them. I wrote you repeatedly attempting to communicate and got very little response from you. It was very perplexing. But when you arrived, I understood. No one in your group of 6 spoke English or Spanish, only French. And you resisted attempts to use a translator. It seems that you never read any of the messages I sent to you. So it was very challenging for both of us. I had no idea that you did not speak English in the group, or I would have translated the messages in French for you. Technology has made such wonderful advances to make life easier. I encourage all travelers to get comfortable using translators as necessary. We wish you all the best. 🥀

It was very nice having both of you. You are quite adventurous! We are so sorry that we temporarily lost contact with you during a problem with one of the local transformers in the area. It temporarily effected our Wifi connection. Disappointing, as you can see from all of reviews, the comfort of our guests and the ease and enjoyment of there vacation here is of the utmost importance to us. We want people to be able to arrive, relax and enjoy their time together. I'm glad that you enjoyed our place. I love your description "like being on the set of a Tropical Romance" That's a great description for Light of Dawn! 💞

Well, it was truly a joy having you here. You were a breath of fresh air, in the middle of a very busy High Season. Some people complain that Costa Rica has become too commercialized, or they prefer that type of setting. And then there are people like yourselves, who seek out and appreciate the true wonders of this magnificent country. People who love nature and love discovering the secrets of the Rain Forest. And people who take the time to meet and appreciate the real people of Costa Rica, their culture, and their warm hearted "Pura Vida" spirit for life. We are so fortunate to have some of these local individuals as our partners here at Light of Dawn. They loved you as well and took great pleasure in being your guide while you were with us. Your spirit of adventure, and kind participation brightened our day. We are so glad that you found us, and would welcome you back any time! Best to you, from your Friends in the Forest!

Sometimes in life, people unexpectly appear in your path who are uniquely special. You can see it in their eyes, in the warmth of their heart, and the measured wisdom of their actions. This was such a family. And I am grateful to have connected with them at such a time as this. Pura Vida my friends. 🌺

Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, it is quite different than the usual hotel experience, isn't it? Even in the nicest resort, there are still people on the other side of the wall, right? Here you are offered complete privacy with the sound of birds and waterfalls lulling you to sleep. Please come back any time!

Thank you for your very kind words. You were so easy to work with! And we love so much when guests realize that they have come upon an enchanted forest with magical waterfalls, right in their grasp! It's a well kept secret and you found it! Pura Vida ... pure life. 🌴

Such a charming couple! We enjoyed having you so much. And we so appreciate people like yourselves who take the time to write such detailed information. Your descriptions make others feel like they are right there with you, and gives them a idea of what to expect. All the best to you from your "friends in the forest!" 🌴
