Yea, I can't remember if they were alligators or crocs, (but who really cares). We met a couple who had seen one at the swimming beach the day before we were down there....swimming. I to would rather deal with sharks!

Costa Rica is beautiful, however it's no STJ. I was there a couple of years ago we stayed in Manuel Antonio/ Quepos area. I had hoped for some good snorkling but the water was way to cloudy for me and the chance of running into an alligator, was enough to pretty much keep me out of the water. That b...

Thanks for all the responses, I got some great ideas.

I would love to do carry on only but there are going to be 8 of us including a toddler so carry on is out of the question.

Is food really that more expensive on STJ? We will be cooking in for breakfast, lunch and a couple of dinners?


TIA

What dry goods to bring from home?

Another lurker coming out of the shadows. I would name my villa Flip Flop Drama. My brother had a "Flip Flop Drama" on the island once and it just seemed like a perfect name.

P.S. I's also name my reggae "band" the same name

Did they provide a cooler, beach towels and beach chairs? Was the house cool or was a/c needed? Can you park 3 cars in the driveway? The...

Thanks for the advise. My father is coming and he's already been voted our DD (he just dosen't know yet).

I am sure I'll be posting more questions as our trip grows closer.

You can count on a trip report when we get back, however I am terrible with posting pictures :roll:

Thanks again
