Review summary

Wonderful cruise!!!! Highly recommend Windstar. The service and organization is top of the line and the small size ship is something we particularly enjoy.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent. We were checked in and taken to our cabin very quickly. We made spa reservations right away so that we could get our choice of times and treatments.

Wonderful beach barbecue. Very well done.

Golfito, Costa Rica Did not visit port

This was just a passport check stop.

PUERTO JIMENEZ (GOLFO DULCE), COSTA RICA

We went on the tour of Gardens and Beach Scapes. The tour was really just the gardens which were beautiful and the beach scapes were just the boat ride to the gardens and back.
