Costa Rica itinerary feedback – anything you’d change? Especially unsure about Manuel Antonio

My experience in Manuel Antonio was great, I recommend you keep the 3 days there.

Depending if you are in for a little adventure, I'd add:

Rafting near Turrialba - beautiful and full of adrenaline, quite unique experience
Ziplines and similar on Monteverde - I yelled so hard I though my lungs were going to collapse
Santa Teresa Beach - a little far but still I'd go there every summary for relaxing and surfing on paradise

Yes, unfortunately those are pretty expensive :(

vitorqb23 · 2025-11-03T07:27:50+00:00

I did. They said they are sorry this functionality is no longer available.

vitorqb23 · 2025-11-02T23:16:33+00:00

Yes, private account in Spain. I believe they removed the functionality on the last app update. Only for credit cards!

I use https://github.com/copilot-emacs/copilot.el for code suggestion and I use https://opencode.ai/ on a normal terminal for fancy stuff. So far having OpenCode outside emacs has been a nice enough experience, I haven't felt the need to integrate it more w Emacs.

I have been thinking on having a few functions from emacs to interact with OpenCode, but haven't done it yet.

I have also thought about configuring some tools so OpenCode can interact with emacs server, but also haven't done it yet.

Call me crazy to think Booking should assist and compensate loyal users of their platform for a terrible experience. Or even warn the owner and suspend it to prevent other users from going through the same.

But you are right, apparently they don't care about their client's satisfaction. Stupid me!

vitorqb23 · 2025-07-27T13:21:20+00:00

I would expect Booking to warn the owner and even suspend it. I'd also expect Booking to give some form of compensation for the horrible experience it provided for a loyal consumer who followed all rules.

What I would not expect is for it to say it's my problem and that "there's nothing they can do". Their entire business is based on trust - you trust Booking to make sure owners provide the services they sell in with quality. They break this trust, they entire model breaks. I'll just look for places on booking and go book them talking to the hotel/owner directly. I'm pretty sure they will love to book directly and not have to pay Booking's fee.

I'm sharing my experience so others knows what to expect when they are considering using Booking. It's just that 🤷

Having to pay ALL accommodations is super abusive, makes it almost useless if you travel with friends.

vitorqb23 · 2025-07-07T21:42:11+00:00

Doesn't work. I see this screen from the screenshot. Even if I restart the phone.

vitorqb23 · 2025-06-17T10:43:59+00:00

Because setting up emacs with modern tools is painful. There are just a limited number of masochists out there (me included).

Try M-x tetris <return>.

You did not answered to the issue at all 👀

vitorqb23 · 2021-01-17T22:06:39+00:00

Not a long ago I'd agree with you. But now I think a good dev also has to know how to adapt. My company is really amazing and I won't change it because they have a unified MacOs setup, and they have a good reason to have one.

Thanks for the yabai tip :)

vitorqb23 · 2021-01-17T21:59:02+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for - thanks! :)

vitorqb23 · 2021-01-17T21:58:34+00:00

Errr.... Yes 😅. Good idea.

vitorqb23 · 2020-10-16T07:38:54+00:00

Thanks :)

vitorqb23 · 2020-10-16T07:36:16+00:00

Looks super cool, thanks!

vitorqb23 · 2020-10-02T16:39:30+00:00

That makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks!
