SHANGRI LA IN 30 DAYS
I recently had the unique opportunity to spend a month @ LaTerraza Grecia Bed and Breakfast. I have traveled extensively both in and out of the US staying at 3&4 star hotels. My LaTerraza experience ranks up there at the top for quality, service and price.
The adventure began with us being met by La Terraza’s Carlos, with a sign at the airport; that had my name on it. From there it just gets better. The care each guest receives at this hostelry is individualized and delivered with 4 star hotel service. It is small, unique, and hand supervised by the owners Jeanetta and Charles Owens. Cloth napkins every meal, fresh linens and scented soaps are ordinary fare. Meals were from the typical Tico breakfast of peas, beans and rice with handmade tortillas and fresh eggs, to a special meal of chicken complete with a 4 piece flamenco guitar ensemble to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
They attend to every detail with Nordstrom level customer service. A key aspect is that the owners listen to their guest to determine ways in which to enhance the trip. I observed visitors who just needed directions to the next restaurant as well as investors who wanted a connection to the Costa Rican business community. No matter what the level of information it was given professional precise as good as any concierge, at the Ritz Carlton. They are well respected and trusted in the community making them very knowledgeable.
If you are lucky to procure a reservation you should not miss the opportunity to stay at La Terrazza Greicia Bed and Breakfast.
