Spacious morning to say your heartfelt goodbye to the beautiful land that held us for this transformative week, enjoy your morning coffee, bye bye breakfast, and complimentary shuttle to Puerto Jimenez . Many folks will have early flights back to San Jose or other parts of some country if they are extending their stay through the weekend, so there is no morning practice on the last day. Checkout is by 11 am but you can pack up and linger by the pool until your departure flight.
