What travelers are saying

"When I signed up for the Wonders of Costa Rica at a slower pace. The hotel listed in the itinerary for day 8&9 was a 4 star hotel on the beach called the Punta Leona. I'm not sure when but Road Scholar changed the Punta Leona hotel for the 3 star Villa Lapis Jungle hotel. I was shocked when we drove up to this dump. Others in the group wanted to leave and find another hotel. I had black bugs under that shower mat and the shower did not drain, Spiders on the wall and roaches coming out of the cracked in the bathroom. The bed was a thin mattress on a board and was hard as a rock. The food they put out was covered with a wrap but 15 minutes after the plastic wrap was removed it was covered with fruit flies. I passed on the open food bowls. The walls were real thin and the neighbors were real noisy until 11:30 pm. Others in the group complained about the late night noise, spiders and toilet seat being broken. I'm not sure where this place gets 3 stars. After I saw the roaches, I give it a 1 star. Road Scholar put us up in beautiful hotels and then they take us here. You can do better than this Road Scholar. The end the story, Road Scholar customer service called me about my concern and said they have never used the Punta Leona, (I sent her my itinerary that said PUNTA LEONA). She also said they haven't had any complaints about this Villa Lapis dump. After her call, I'm not sure if I'll ever travel with Road Scholar again. Enough said...."

What travelers are saying

"Our 8th OU tour was to Switzerland. We visited many sites in Switzerland, Austria and also a quick stop in Germany. O.U. takes all the stress away by using outstanding Tour Directors who handle everything. Our T. D. Kiara was fantastic! She worked flawlessly throughout the tour, even when we were stuck in Zermatt after a flood. I highly recommend O.U."

Hot Springs Tour Selection Trips

Hot springs tours offer a unique blend of relaxation and adventure. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, consider these travel tips:

  • Check the water temperature before entering; some springs can be very hot.
  • Bring a swimsuit and a towel, as many hot springs do not provide them.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and after your soak.
  • Avoid soaking too long, especially in very hot springs; 15-20 minutes is often sufficient.
  • Take breaks to cool down if you start feeling overheated.
  • Be cautious of slippery surfaces around the springs to prevent falls.
  • If you have health conditions, consult a doctor before visiting hot springs.
  • Follow local rules and regulations to ensure a safe and respectful experience.
  • Protect your skin by applying sunscreen if you are outdoors.
  • Rinse off before and after soaking to keep the springs clean and remove minerals from your skin.
  • Respect the natural environment; avoid using soap or other products in the springs.
