Hi All,
Has anybody heard of the Orchid Lodge, 1 km. from Barva? It is a B&B right nearby a coffee plantation. Is it beautiful there and what is the accomodation like? Is it near the ocean? I believe it is 10 km from San Jose. Will somebody who loves animals find a lot to see ? When is the best time to go there, weatherwise, i mean. Can you recommend good accomodation near to the ocean?
Thanks for your help dawnhopeful

Hi All, We would like to vist and have heard of a B&B called the Orchid Lodge. It is 1 km. from Barva nearby the coffee plantation: Cafe Tal. 2 couples will be going. One of them is a vet. and loves animals. The other is interested in the ocean. Is it near the ocean? Is there a Club. Med. located nearby? What is the best time of year to go, as far as weather is concerned. Any other suggestions for good accomodation would be appreciated. The Orchid Lodge is located 10 k's from San Jose. Is there a lot to see and do there? Thanks dawnhopeful

Does anyone have first hand experience of a Spanish School/Hostel called Montana Linda, in Costa Rica? We are planning to stay with them for several weeks and wanted an opinion other than their own or Lonely Planet'd.
Thanks

Hi- I am planning to visit Hereida sometime before the end of the year. Do you have any recommendations for affordable (cheap) hotels? I am planning to stay for 2-3 weeks. It doesn't have to be anything fancy- just relatively clean and safe.

Also, is there one time of the year I should definitely avoid?

Thanks- any information will be really helpful!
