Good, Caring Company but make sure you are very clear on what you will be doing
My sister, mother, grandma, and I were staying at the Andaz resort and, after talking to another guest who went on a tour with Alex on the Beach, we decided to take the boat to Coco Beach. Ever set up our tour and was very helpful. Celso, our tour guide, was awesome! It was a 20 min boat ride through the beautiful Pacific to Coco Beach. Celso taught us about Costa Rica on the way there. When we got to the shore it was apparent that Celso knew just about everyone on Coco Beach! He was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. After taking us to a great shop where we tried amazing local coffee and chocolate, he let us wander around a bit. We got all our souvenir shopping done, had amazing ice cream at this cute Fifties themed ice cream shop where 4 cones cost only $5, and then we went to Celso’s recommended restaurant, the Lobster House, for lunch. The food was incredible and very reasonably priced. I had the lobster and it was delicious! I asked Celso where we could find some salsa dancing and he danced with me! I already knew how to dance but Celso was fully prepared to teach me if I didn’t. We even ended up staying longer than we planned and they did not rush us at all. We were supposed to get back at 2:30 and we didn’t get back to the resort until around 4pm. Overall, we had a wonderful day and we were very happy with our tour! If you are in the area and want to go to Coco Beach, I highly recommend using Alex on the Beach and asking for Celso to be your guide!

Good, Caring Company but make sure you are very clear on what you will be doing
AotB conducted two tours for us: 4 of us on the Mega Combo tour 6 of us on a 2 hour ATV tour We are 3 couple from the US, aged 65-75, active but not athletic. We visited Costa Rica and we selected tours intended to both entertain us and let us see a little of Costa Rica and experience it's natural beauty and culture. We arranged our tours with Sergio via email and made deposits via Pay Pal. He was wonderful answering our questions, and it was easy to reach him and get our tours booked. Our guide Pablo on the Mega Combo tour was excellent, we could not have been in better hands. He was a pleasure to spend a day with, and went above and beyond in making sure that we were safe, comfortable and did everything we set out to do. I cannot speak highly enough of him or the tour itself which I will review under Buena Vista. For the ATV tour, we booked a 2 hour Beach tour as described on the Alex otB website. We were excited about visiting 5 beaches, and also we were told we would start and end at their restaurant the Monkey Bar. I'm not sure what happened, but we had an ATV tour that went by dirt road through the jungle areas to one beach, Playa Zapotal, and then back to the starting point in Nuevo Colon. We were allowed about 20 minutes to swim and enjoy the beach which had a lovely view of some rock formations off shore, but it was not a beach that enticed any of us to swim. We are disappointed that we neither had an opportunity to go to the Monkey Bar or to see the 5 beaches which were of more interest to us than the land areas we rode through. It was however a fun day, and our guide Randall and his assistant were excellent about making sure we knew how to properly use the ATVs, were safe at all times and especially when in an area with other traffic, and pointed out some monkeys along the way. I would book with this company again if in the area, however I think I would ask for very firm detailed explanation about what I was going to see and do on the ATV ride or any tour that did not have a specific place to go (such as the Mega Combo tour which was going to a specific eco park).
