On December 9th, a family owned and operated Issimo Suites Boutique Hotel and Spa held a Christmas party to showcase their renovations and to help Ask Zipy support a Toy Drive to help children living in Jardines del Río. Invitations to this free event were successfully sent out to the community giving the even an incredible turnout.
Issimo and the staff treated us to Ron Centenario rum beverages created by a talented mixologist, decadent Italian wine and elegant foods created by the chef. A local band serenaded us while we were able to chat with friends, old and new. The event was held on Issimo’s new Terraza by the pool. The views of the ocean and the fresh sea breeze made the event even more perfect. Issimo’s elegant setting and beautiful new Terraza made the event extraordinary.
In addition to a wonderful time, the toy drive was a great success. The guests made wonderful financial and toy contributions to the children and bid on items in a small silent auction of local, sustainable, handmade items presented by Santa Zipy.
Among the many guests attending were the Jardines del Río committee members and The Mayor of Quepos Canton, Patricia, and her family. Patricia gave a warm hearted speech, thanking the expat and local community for working together to help the children of Quepos.
Thank you to all the guests and a very special thank you to Issimo Suites, who is always a great contributor to charitable causes in the community.
