Today, Zipy had the honor of meeting an incredible group of people who are visiting Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica from all parts of North America. What makes them incredible is the fact that breast cancer has invaded their lives and through “Little Pink Houses of Hope” a non-profit organization, they are having an opportunity to enjoy a simple pleasure, like a vacation in the tropics and partaking in the activities Manuel Antonio has to offer.

Costa Rica Dental Tourism

by Ask Zipy on 02-15-2019 03:51PM in Chamber of Commerce, Costa Rica, Vacations

As a young dental student in San Jose, before deciding on his specialty 17 years ago, Alberto had an opportunity to do his practicum in a small town of Quepos Canton. Only three months into his practicum, Dr. Alberto knew that he was home. As a dentist, Dr. Gonzalez has developed his own style of practicing modern day dentistry combined with traditional beliefs. He works closely with his patients to ensure that the treatment is appropriate and cost-effective. One example is that the doctor will opt for a filling rather than crown or extraction to preserve the natural tooth.

Ecotermales La Fortuna - A Dip in Paradise

by Ask Zipy on 01-20-2019 09:14AM in Vacations

When he arrived, Zipy was welcomed by the staff, took pictures, and then Allan, the guest services manager, graciously offered to give the team a tour of the premises. As we were walking towards the pools we passed family room facilities, a Koi pond, and a waterfall. The sounds somewhat prepared us for what was to come, yet not entirely. We passed the towel station, changing rooms, shower facilities, and the lockers. The lockers were well lit and closely supervised not only by human presence but also hidden cameras to ensure guests’ safety. As we were walking down the path, Allan enthusiastically gave us a bit of the history of the property which Zipy found fascinating. In 1956 the owners had noticed a new natural stream on their cattle farm and were elated that the cattle had drinking water on the property. After discovering that the cattle would not drink the water due to its high temperature he felt that the farm was cursed and fenced off the stream. Twelve years later Arenal volcano erupted and the family was forced to move away. When they returned back to the farm, they decided to enjoy the stream with their friends and family. The lady of the house then wanted to share the treasures with the world, but maintain its natural beauty.
