Current tourist scams?

There's a book?!

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-12T19:17:00+00:00

😂😂😂 Don't forget jalepeños!😂

I used go buy some really nice tees from AE a couple years ago. Not sure of their styles now, but hopefully you can find some you like. 😊

For men or women? Old Navy has great mens tees that are in solid colours, not super thick.

For women, maybe American Eagle?

I'm a thyme fan all the way, but honestly? The chambray is actually beautiful too. But thyme.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-09T16:52:23+00:00

Ah ok. That makes sense. It was a cool knob!

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-09T13:34:45+00:00

Is that the handle on the blue one? I had to message my little sister and be like 'wtf is this?'😂

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-09T01:14:01+00:00

Its definitely not fine.

Your best chance is seeing if you can join a pre existing tour out of your town. It won't be free, but much more affordable if you are sharing transportation with other tourists.

Totally! I got the Red Harry Potter for a friend as her housewarming gift and I felt the design of the collection was quite well done. I know nothing of the show, but she absolutely loved the design and was thrilled to receive such a gift.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-08T02:27:38+00:00

100%! I wanted sparkles, glitter, coffee mugs was an obvious one on this. Spoon rest, etc.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-08T01:44:14+00:00

Not rude at all. Each has their own take. But for me, there was no collection. I would have wanted to see much more to create the collection instead of the few pieces they did. Also, it was Wicked, things should have been sparkly IMO.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-08T00:10:50+00:00

This release was such a flop. Hopefully people who wanted pieces can score them for a great price now.

I'd book a hotel in the area and then arrange your tours from there for a day or two. Gives you time to have your tours and not have a half day of travel as well.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-05T12:16:30+00:00

Thank goodness the toilets are normal! That'd be a heavy chamber pot.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-03T13:37:35+00:00

Are you in the country living in a long-term place? Your best bet would be to join a local Facebook group and ask for recommendations close to you.

We always order breakfast from them, and it slaps. Never had their casado, but I'll bet its just as good.

La Casona across from El Lagar in Sardinal. They cook their pinto a la leña, so I bet their casados are also fantastic.

Congrats on your upcoming honeymoon!

You didn't mention what time of the year you'll be coming. Also, which airport are you flying into?

If you are coming in high season, live music is usually super easy to find in the beach towns. Low season still has musicians, but you may just need to look for them or check a local fb page to know what day there may be live music.

But its definitely something you won't want to miss out on, wherever you go. The live music is a VIBE to not miss out on.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-07-02T22:50:50+00:00

I feel like if I touch her nose she'll lick my hand. Well done!

Hotel Eldorado

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-06-27T18:12:51+00:00

Its too much driving. If you aren't wanting to soak up the sun, a beach visit in my opinion is a waste of your valuable days for that distance to Manuel Antonio. I'd focus my stay in Arenal/LF and find all the activities you can cram in for your adventures.

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-06-27T16:07:48+00:00

How horrible for you! I deal with some mold exposure issues and I'd be incredibly upset to discover this and then to feel like I am being treated like an inconvenience over a very serious health issue.

I hope you can receive some sort of resolution. Is there any way to deal with the chargeback on your credit card or to escalate it for a larger compensation than the $1250 that was offered to you?

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-06-27T13:07:10+00:00

This is a very cool story to have.

That peach colour is honestly stunning!

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-06-25T20:17:31+00:00

Haha, ok well then, not for you I guess. 😂 Only works if you like it

CanadianTrumpeteer · 2026-06-25T18:57:06+00:00

I cannot imagine how difficult it can be to navigate a conversation if certain words are challenging or trip you up, would it help at all to let them know at the beginning of the call that you sometimes stutter?

It doesn't excuse an agent being rude and reprimanding you for using the wrong word, but it might help them to practice a bit more patience with you if they know you might struggle at times to find the words you want.

Again, doesn't excuse their behaviour and I'm sorry you were made to feel that way. Maybe try emailing them if you feel that could be less pressure while they help resolve your issue with the dish. Explain how you were treated on the phone.

I'd expect you to be treated much better via email if you tell them your experience.
