| Reviews:Ellen Waichman New York, USA January 05th, 2009 This was the most wonderful experience of the vacation – Juan, Enrique, Roxanna were fabulous. We didn’t want to leave. The Hotel Si Como No had a banner in the lobby. We asked about the tour, they said it would be nice. This did not come close to the fabulous adventure we had. It is a day we will never forget. A wonderful memory. The Hotel should strongly recommend this tour, we love it!! Sharon Turkin Tour began on the drive as guides pointed out many flora & fauna & gave stories/background of Santa Juana tour & area. Reception at the Finca was superb, fresh fruit and empanadas, beautiful views. Horseback was fun (short & sweet) down to trail (appreciated having options of horse or car). Hike- very well maintained trails & lots of opportunities to see (and hear) birds and other animals. Also interesting plant & insect & reptile facts and spotting. Swim was perfectly timed. Refreshing & fun. Grounds around swimming & fishing areas were very inviting. Fishing fun while simple. Unique attraction. Kiki was incredibly helpful as was guide at fishpond even more incredible to then eat the fish! It was amazing. Food on the trip was very good!! Thank you so much, tour is beautiful and very peaceful place. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the horse rides very much. |
