The location of this B&B is ideal for arrival and departure into San Jose.
The owners are really friendly and helpful and we caught them speaking fluent Dutch, English and Spanish.
We rented a car and received GPS directly through them, half of the price the car rental company offers them for.
Pool area is relaxed and clean. Our first nights were in the vacation home, perfect for two couples or a family.
When we came back, we stayed in the red room. Even more spacious than the house and we really enjoyed the colored rooms.
Breakfast was plenty and Margarita even prepared a travel breakfast for us upon departure and a nice coffee at 4 am.
We highly recommend this place and can easily see ourselves coming back on our next visit to Costa Rica.

Dear Ad & Margritta,
Pamela & I just wanted to thank you for all your help in making our arrival and departure in and out of Costa Rica so smooth.
Not only is La Margarita a lovely place to stay, but your assistance with local mobile phones, use of the internet, taxis, route planning and satellite navigation was absolutely invaluable.
When our UK mobiles had no connectivity you provided us with a local mobile that did work and we were so glad that we took your recommendation and rented a satnav/GPS from you - it probably saved our holiday and marriage on a number of occasions when the absence of road signs left us floundering.
If we come to CR again we will start and finish at La Margarita and ask you to make all the arrangements - including car rental.
Keep up the good work - Alan & Pamela M., Tadworth, UK

Dear Ad & Margarita,
How are you? This is Wally. I stayed with you this last October with my son Josh.
I wanted to write and wish you a Merry Christmas!Josh and I enjoyed our stay with you folks very much.
I would love to come and see both of you again sometime.
I stayed at 5 different hotels and B&Bs on my last trip to Costa Rica
and I can honestly say that I enjoyed my stay with you folks the most of any of the places I stayed.
Ad, do you remember showing me how a website is designed? I enjoyed seeing that very much.
And I enjoyed our chats. I would like to send you a photo of Josh and I that Margarita took.
Is there another email address that I can send to you?
Oh, and I would NOT rent a car from Economy Renta A Car ever again.
They have hidden charges that they do not disclose when you sign the contract.
Well Christmas is soon upon us. I hope you have an enjoyable Christmas holiday!
Thanks again for a very enjoyable stay. Wally S., 22 December 2009
The place where we are staying, Margarita's Airport B&B San Jose, is perfect ---
close to the airport, with plenty of dogs and cats for Audrey to pet, a pool of cool, cool water that we all enjoyed,
and a trampoline. There are lots of butterflies and flowers and tropical trees, and our room is delightful.
The view from the pool area is beautiful, with Volcan Poas across the valley, although partly hidden in clouds today.
Jay and Audrey are playing cards outside on the table on our terrace. Claire and Emma have been playing solitaire and
writing in their journals, and we're all starved and waiting for dinner which is being fixed by our hosts tonight.
Tomorrow is another early morning...we're catching a taxi at 6:15 am to the domestic airport in San Jose for our flight
down to Puerto Jimenez and our week at Casa Bambu. I don't think we'll have internet again for at least a week, but we'll
post again when we can. Read full story here... 13 December 2009
Ad and Margarita.....
I once again want to thank you for the WONDERFUL time Jenni and I spent an your place.
Both of you run an absolute paradise on earth and we really want you both to know how much Jenni and I enjoy staying there.
Jenni and I really feel at home there and we really cannot thank you enough for the both of us.
I can't wait until I can get back and stay there again....again....
thank you for making us feel like family and I can't wait until we see you again!
THANK YOU!!!!

Margarita,
Here it is, my experience in regaining lost health in a matter of weeks, for $40 a month!
Each item below has had a profound effect at one time or another on me and my friends health, so together should cure almost anything.
The real key to health is feeding our cells, as we are nothing but an amazing 100 trillion living cells all working together!
Mess them up and you are big time sick! We are alive only because we have a vast immune system designed to seekout and destroy invaders -
bacteria, virusis, prions and toxic chemicals such as those we breath, eat and absorb through our skin daily.
Most people slowly kill them selves with poor fuel (diet).
Ionic Silver - Long recognized as a broad spectrum antibiotic and oligodynamic (fatal to primative life forms, including parasite and insect eggs),
it is also a very powerful anti-inflammatory agent.
Few understand the latter but more and more we find inflammation is the root of most disease
and ionic silver can literally turn off inflammatory
responses such as a burn - no pain, no blister, no redness if applied quickly, before the immune system has time to setup a major damage response.
Even an week old poison ivy it rapidly moderates the inflammatory response (weeping, oozing, itching, etc).
A tablespoon full has far more ions then you have body cells but the healthy liver removes 98% within two hours so to mainatain a
theraputic dose
in the blood, take a teaspoon every waking hour when ill.
Together with antioxidents like grapeseed extract at 4 times dose by 6 times daily (24 times usual dose) all cancers have been cured in short order,
as proven by a Canadian Hematologist live blood analysis, in weeks, not years!.
D-Ribose is key to cellular health as it provides energy to all cells.
Best source is NOW brand as 1,500mg chewables for under $10.
Website It is used by all athletes to get energy boosts, instant strength and enhanced cellular health.
We replace millions of cells daily so why not with healthy ones instead of sick ones?
D-Ribose is a natural anti-anxiety and stress relief ingredient used to control stress-related eating and drinking that has
the added value of
being non-sedating with potential anti-depressant properties.
Ribose is used to generate ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate).
In theory, supplementing your diet with additional ribose should increase the rate at which ATP is generated, leading to an improvement
in exercise performance and faster muscle growth.
ATP is constantly being broken down and "recreated". In the process, it provides energy for every move you make and
every chemical reaction that occurs in human body.
D-Ribose is a naturally occurring five-carbon sugar found in all living cells,.
It is not an essential nutrient, since it can be made in the body from other substances, such as glucose.
D-ribose, however, is very essential for life.
Take it at least twice daily, our critical heart muscle can only store 3 minutes worth! It is not damaging to diabetics.
Niacinamide - one of the most important B vitamin forms, with extensive biologic action and needs!
Website Nicotinamide has demonstrated anti-inflammatory actions which may be of benefit in patients with inflammatory skin conditions.
These conditions include acne vulgaris, and the compound can suppress antigen induced-lymphocytic transformation and inhibit
of 3'-5' cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase.
Nicotinamide has demonstrated the ability to block the inflammatory actions of iodides known to precipitate or exacerbate inflammatory acne.
Animal studies show that nicotinamide has anti-anxiety (anxiolytic) properties.
It may work in a way similar to benzodiazepines. It lacks the vasodilator, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and hypolipemic actions of nicotinic acid (niacin).
As such, nicotinamide has not been shown to produce the flushing, itching and burning sensations of the skin as is commonly seen when large
doses of nicotinic acid are administered orally.
It is an inhibitor of sirtuins and has been reported to restore cognition in Alzheimer's Disease transgenic mice, has been reported to increase the
endurance of mice and prevents immunosuppression caused by UVA and UVB radiation, and could be added to sunscreen.
Nicotinamide has been reported to be an effective skin whitener in topical application.
D3 - The sunshine vitamin, but most people over 40 can not convert it efficiently even if sit in the sun - more people are
deficient in D3 than any other vitamin.
A 2008 study published in Cancer Research has shown the addition of vitamin D3 (along with calcium) to the diet of mice fed a regimen
similar in
nutritional content to a new Western diet prevented colon cancer development. it can resolve many disorders.
Detoxification - We all consume gross amounts of toxic chemicals from our foods, air and water, especially if processed to enhance flavor, taste, color, storage, etc.
The fastest detox is via oral use of EDTA, a manufactured chelating agent first used in WW-2 for treating mercury, lead and other metallic poisoning.
It is cheap, ultra safe and effective, often eliminating many kinds of allergies (most are chemical allergies) in a week, for enhanced feelings of well being.
EDTA is a selective chelating agent, releasing a lessor metal for a heavier metal, so is essentially non-damaging, even for lifetime use.
The best product mix and cheapest source is Amermed.com at under $10 ($5 if buy 12)
Website
In one week EDTA cured my 20 year alleries to hay fever, perfume and smoke!
A week's use also cured my angina pain, from just walking to the mail box, indicating my heart problems were from toxic metals or excessive calcium deposits in my arteries.
Enemas by the way are really stupid, dangerous un-Godly flushes of the last foot of 20 feet of a septic system.
If impacted, glycerine is a natural body friendly hydrator (orally or suppositories) but large doses of fruit juices can clean all 20 feet a few times daily,
the enzymes and fibers liquifing. I mix fruit juices (apple + grape + pineapple is great) to control bowels but if I drink a quart of only grape juice
I have 3-4 liquid bowel movements daily - a total flush.
Diet and fasting - All religions know fasting is great for detoxing the body and gaining balance again.
You need not starve, but a partial fast like I enjoy will do wonders.
Grapes have a long history of health benefits and well recorded cures in the 1960's for 85% of all cancers!
Partly from the antioxidents in grapes, skins and seeds but also from injesting a pure food free of chemicals.
I drink a half gallon of 100% fruit juices daily and often aid it with other pure, perfect foods like raw eggs, nuts, fermented foods and fresh fruits.
These are essentially whole foods, free of waste, so reduced load on digestive system, which often needs 20% of energy to digest bad foods.
Fasting means to stop eating poisons for a while and take in only whole, natural, concentrated and thus balanced nutrient foods, not starving!
Trace Minerals - Our soil is depleted of balanced minerals so we also are.
Farmers only feed their fields three nutrients, to make for fast green growth but we need many dozens.
All cells need soluble minerals to manufacture the chemicals of life.
Being short even a rare one like selenium or cesium can cause great imbalances in essential biologic processes and thus unhealthy cells and sickness.
It takes an expert to determine any particular deficiency so just take a trace moineral suppliment containing them all, every day.
A $10 bottle of a concentrate of trace minerals made from natural Salt Lake City, Utah lake water (has the sodium removed before bottled)
is far better then sea salts as sea salt is missing the most soluble ones (including cesium), washed back out after crystals are stacked to drain and dry!
There is thus no complete sea salt, if mined and dried, as some minerals will be leached out!
There are many other needs for very specific ills but the above will cure in short order nearly all ills.
Try all of the above for two weeks, to treat your cells right, and see!
Zero risk with no side effects and great gains will be seen by almost all, especially the cronically ill or rundown.
Naturally, if we ate right, all natural foods grown in fertile soil, exercised and cared for our bodies as well as we care for our cars
(we watched you pamper your car) we would all be healthy, as I am at age 75 but then little food is natural any more as man has
introduced 50,000
new chemicals in the last 30 years, with no time for evolution to adapt us to them.
We poison ourselves daily with chlorinated and flurided water, processed and chemically laden foods in carcenogenic packages,
hydrogenated oils ment as paint solvents (canola oil), etc. such that our immune system is stressed to or past its limit every hour of every day and
thus the ability to effectively heal ourselves has been compromized.
Did you know we could recover from colon cancer in a few weeks - the cells on our gut and intestines live only three days,
then are programmed to die, signaling a nearby cell to divide, to fill the void.
Thus you should be able to totally replace your entire gut in a matter of weeks with fresh new cells (tissue)!
Some would call that spontaneous remission but we all have the ability, if we feed our cells real food and fuel and assist our immune system
to revert cancer cells back to normal (we all have (5) mechanisims to do that!).
I rebuilt my seriously damaged heart in (9) months with diet alone - the Doctor then taking me off heart medications in year 2000,
and I am a body abuser, working 12 hour days 7 days a week!
With love from Fred
My you heal others as I try to do...

Hi Margaret and Ad
We are coming to CR again and would like to stay in your place again.
We have been there in may 09.... Love it!!!
The same little house we rented before will do fine or one of your new rooms...
