Welcome Krewe of Neptune!
Following are details for the King Scott's Trip to Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
We have two stay options, 4 and 7 nights. Departures are Monday 12 Sept and Thursday 15 Sept 2016 and return is Monday,19 Sept 2016.
We have arranged group airfare from Orlando to San Jose (MCO-SJO) on Jet Blue. Flights depart MCO at 1117 AM and arrive SJO at 1227 PM. Return flight departs SJO at 125 PM and arrives MCO at 641 PM. Note there is a 2 hour time difference.
We will post show times when all transfer details are finalized, but plan on leaving about 8 AM for your coach to the airport, and arriving back in St Pete at about 9PM on the 19th. The travel portion (air and transfers) is going to cost between $600and $675 per person (greater participation level reduces the transfer costs) and will be collected separately from your room reservation.
Details will soon follow about planned outings, cocktail parties, etc.
UPDATE 5/23: We have nearly filled up all the oceanview studios in both areas. The remaining gardenview studios are in the same two buildings and are equally as nice. Just to confirm, the adult only section simply requires guests to be over 16 years of age, it is not a Hedo-type property. All the rooms are within a short walk of each other and there are no actual boundaries except for the lush vegetation and natural hillside contour. It is not likely we have many children staying on property because of the time of year and because we have contracted for the majority of rooms available. In fact, we can pretty much take over with a great Krewe response!

About the area:
Manuel Antonio is a small town on the Pacific coast located about 100 miles south of the capital city of San Jose. It is surrounded by lush mountains flowing down to the coast and home to one of the most incredible National Parks in the world. People are very friendly and most locals speak some English. There is incredible sport fishing at the nearby marina and great recreation opportunities, from whitewater to ziplining to hiking and nature photography.
About the hotel:
Costa Verde is walking distance from the National Park and a few miles from the town of Manuel Antonio. It is perched on a hillside overlooking the ocrean, There are three pools, one serving the adult only section and several restauants on or near the property. Its motto is: "Still More Monkeys Than People". Monkeys are often spotted on the grounds. It has some of the most interesting features in all of the hotels in Latin America with a converted Boeing 727 that is a 2 BR hotel and the main bar is built around an Iran-Contra C-123 aircraft.
