    G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2026

    The tour does not offer breakfasts at the hotels for many reasons. Many do not offer a breakfast in their night stays or offer a buffet breakfast included. If there is that you wish to have breakfast at the hotels, we recommend arranging this when checking in.

  We are 2 families. Each family consist of 2 adults and 2 kids ages 15 and 17. We would like to first go to Manuel Antonio, then to Monteverde, then to Arenal. We prefer 4 stars (or higher) hotels. Also, some activities at each area. We would like to stay at Tabacon Thermal resort at lease 2 nights. Can you give us an estimate for a tour? including stay, transportation, and activities.

    Kindly note that this trip cannot be modified, as it is a standard group tour and not a custom private trip. It would need to be booked as it is. Alternatively, we can explore a custom private trip, but please note that these are typically more expensive than group tours.

    We take reviews into consideration when choosing our hotels. That being said, some might not experience the hotels the same as others. All of our hotels are centrally located for convenience as well as comfortable. Should you wish to stay elsewhere, you will forfeit this service and we won't be able to offer a discounted rate. You will need to source and confirm your own hotel at your own expense since this is our trusted supplier.

    Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank. You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies. Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of US dollars cash and cards is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.

    G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026

    The tour and dates you are interested in are currently on a request basis. This means that once you proceed with the booking, we will need to submit a request to confirm availability.
    
    This process typically takes 3–4 business days, however, for destinations such as Japan, Europe, Turkey, and Roamies trips, it may take 5–10 business days. During this time, we work to confirm all components of your tour package, including (but not limited to) accommodation, activities, and transport.
    
    While we always aim to confirm your booking within these timeframes, there may occasionally be delays depending on supplier responses.
    
    If availability is confirmed, your booking will be secured and fully confirmed.
    If availability is not confirmed, any pre-authorised funds will be fully refunded.
    
    Please note that once the request process has been initiated, it cannot be interrupted or cancelled, and cancelling during this period will not entitle you to a refund.
    
    Also during the request process, we ask to not book flights until we advise if the tour is confirmed.

  Asked on February 24th, 2026

  I am worried about the hotels being subpar as many of the comments and reviews indicate. At the same time it has great number of good reviews

  Accommodation

    G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2026

    All hotels used on our tours are carefully vetted by G Adventures and regularly reviewed by our local operations teams. We closely monitor traveller feedback and make adjustments where needed to ensure properties continue to meet our standards for comfort, cleanliness, safety, and location.
    
    That said, our trips typically focus on locally owned, characterful properties rather than luxury. The aim is to provide a more authentic experience that reflects the destination while still offering a comfortable and welcoming stay. Because of this, standards can feel a little different from large international chains.

    On this tour only 1 lunch is included and all other meals will be at an additional cost. The guide will advise on this once on tour. We can not pre-arrange non included meals but the guide will give restaurant suggestions and will advise on breakfast and lunch options.
