Palmmgt.com is considering and kicking around the idea of hosting "singles tours" to Costa Rica's Pacific shores, which will include beach front rentals and a wide variety of activities, including surfing lessons, golf, horseback riding, volcano tours, hot springs, night clubs, spa days, wildlife tours, sport fishing, hiking, biking, sailing, ATVs, casino gaming, and even bird watching (believe it or not, it's one of the most popular reasons people come to visit Cost Rica, the most biologically diverse place on earth). Yeah, there's plenty to do for folks who are not paired off, but sitting on a few weeks of vacation time to use up.
So the challenge is to reach singles with the offer-- Singles Tours to Costa Rica, without forking over thousands of dollars to click ad companies, so 1000's of "employees" sitting in some Estonian internet bang can sit there and click our links until their fingers fall off and we cleaned out. I can't knock their business model, it's just that we don't really get what we pay for-- reaching all those singles, recently dumped by their significant others and looking for somewhere to vacation that is not some thinly veiled booty tour to some walled in resort in the Caribbean that is geared up to get them to buy too many drinks. The average cruise is priced that way-- they give away the space with the expectation that the guest will drink $100's of dollars worth of hooch in order to break even. Hile there are plenty of places to drink like a new parolee and party like a rock star (the old school, Keith Richards, wake up in your own barf kind). Boozed based blotto tours are really not Palmmgt's focus but some people do come to the Tamarindo area for the wild club-night life (with its active drug culture); so while we can offer those "Blotto tours", we are really looking to reach people, single or not, who want activities based tours-- whether it's health and fitness based, "multi sport" based vacations, which amount to an exercise boot camp situation, or nature tours to volcanos, rain forests, hot springs, horseback riding, PGA golf or sport fishing.
Tear ass, horseback rides on the beach aside, to that end, we are having some experimental landing pages built out and set up, which are pretty funny-- see,
For some reason, there's been a rush of wedding requests on Playa Grande. Seems like beach weddings are becoming more popular.
