Why Should I Have to Choose Vacation Rentals?

Let´s face it: All furnished rentals are NOT the same. We have heard this for quite a time from visitors of Best in Jaco who live internationally such like Portugal, Turkey, Paris, Morocco, Mexico, Berlin, London, Italy, Ireland, California, Buenos Aires, etc.


Even some of them travel the globe without the millstone of a house and garden dragging behind them. Some others are constantly flipping through the Costa Rica vacation rentals listings on the web and they has learned to ask the hard questions.


For instance, some Jaco condos for rent look just great in the Internet photos: it looks large and modern, newly remodeled, but in an older building with some character. It feature high-ceilings, hardwood floors, and beautiful tall windows that allowed plenty of light and air. It has many features like a full size washer and dryer, a big bathtub, and a charming tree-shaded deck with a barbecue.


But when you arrive, you are disheartened. This is why we ask today:

Amazing vacation rentals


Here you have some piece of advise:


  • Check the Internet.

  • Study the Listing photos and amenities scrupulously.

  • Check for annoyances and use Google Earth to look at your Costa Rica vacation rental before you commit.

    In this case, the quiet cocktail hours we had envisioned enjoying on our attractive terrace were usually spoiled by loud music and arguments emanating from the building next door that hulked over us.

  • Read the reviews! Read every review for a vacation rental very carefully.

Why is the Rainforest of Costa Rica so important?

Rainforest are the Earth`s oldest living ecosystem, the name takes after the fact they get a really high amount of rain during the year, where the green gets greener and the multicolor of the plants and flowers get brighter.


On a contrary of what many people may think the ground of the rainforest itself would not be fertile if it wasn’t for all the plants, trees and animals. The leaves, logs, and dead creatures on the floor are broken down and decomposed by fungi and microorganism, recycling all the essential material and nutrients.


But, why is the Rainforest so important?


The rainforest is a source of many items we use on a daily basis such as: cinnamon, chocolate, rubber, sugar, medicine and pineapple, those are the most common ones.  At Best in Jaco we really enjoy trying out all the activities and tours around the area in order to provide an accurate explanation to our guests.


Last week I was invited to an open house of a naturalistic park and I have to say it was really fun and interesting. Their reception is based just a few minutes driving from Jaco Beach in a well developed site in the middle of the rainforest providing all the facilities and comfort, in order to make the guests feeling at ease. We took an areal tram all the way to the top through the fascinating rainforest at a pace of 2 kilometers per hour with a naturalist guide explaining and pointing out all the different types of vegetation.


Once on the top we zip lined all the way to the bottom, their platforms are surrounded by fences so that even the ones afraid of altitude can feel pretty safe.  The environment was humid and sprinkling typical of the area and the smell was fresh and pure.


After walking for a few minutes we reached a waterfall, now the challenge was to climb it up and rappel down with a cord. You make your way up by holding on specific rocks which are easy to recognize thanks to the different colors they are painted, it is a wet experience as you constantly have water splashing on your face and all over your body. If by any chance you forgot to drink your morning coffee this is a perfect way of waking up. To finalize the tour a naturalistic guide lead us to a serpentarium, providing an excellent and accurate explanation  of all the species of snakes and frog they had in there.


This is a pretty mellow and easy tour to attend suitable for everybody and you can choose to participate to a couple of activities or to the entire adventure I described above.


Enjoy!
