Costa Rica division of rooms

[aggiedog]

We are a family of 8 (parents, grandparents, 4 kids.) We are looking at the Costa Rica trip and our travel agent asked us how we want to divide the rooms. Since we have enough adults to get 4 rooms, and everything I've read about triple rooms seems less than ideal, is there anything I'm missing to say we'd like 4 rooms?

The kids are old enough we can put the teens in one room and dh and I can split up with the youngers. The grandparents would get their own room.

On all our trips with ABD most of the triples consisted of a "roll-away" cot type bed and a full size bed. Not ideal especially since you are paying the same price for everyone.

We just did this trip in July. All rooms at all the hotels had 2 double beds or 1 double and 2 twin beds (Laguna Lodge)

How was the El Mangroove?

Absolutely AMAZING. Truly a luxury resort. The service was impeccable. The staff all spoke wonderful English, which was great for us because we decided to add on and stay an extra night on our own.

The resort is very tranquil. After we came back from our catamaran ride, most of our group decided to lounge by the pool. With the exception of one other family, it was just all of us. So lovely to have the space to ourselves. The rooms are very well appointed, great amenities (liquid hand soap! the little things mean so much!).

The food was wonderful. There was a breakfast buffet that was just delicious, and the open air seating was so lovely. We spent our extra day by the pool. The beach doesn't have chairs, but it was really hot and we were glad to sit under the umbrellas by the pool, when we weren't actually in it!

Did you all skip a scheduled activity to lounge by the pool or was that just free time? So glad to hear you enjoyed it!

It was just free time
