Testimonials

Aloha Elke and all:

I made it back to Maui with no problems. Nice to be here but I could have used another month to check out the rest of your beautiful country. Next time I will have more time to explore. Elke, first of all I want to thank you for all the help and hospitality that you provided me and all your guests. I couldn't have found a better place to stay near San José. You run a great service, super clean rooms, good food, and that fabulous view, what more could I want? I am getting used to my new teeth (great dentists by the way.)

You and literally all of the Costa Rican people I met were wonderful.

Dear Elke:

I thought now would be a good time to write this letter. It's been only two days since I left, so the memories are still fresh; plus I'm listening to marimbas in the background, attempting to recapture the unique mood of Costa Rica - as I knew it at Las Cumbres.

I do want you to know how much I appreciated your kind assistance those just-past 11 days. I believe the personal care you gave and the professionalism you exhibited were without equal. And it was evident from the comments of all the other guests that I wasn't alone in my belief. I've told my business partner, as I will others who are considering cosmetic surgery, there are many competent surgeons from which to choose, but when you choose Costa Rica there is only one place for professional recovery. What a comfort to know that everything was taken care of, from arrival to departure - especially important considering the discomfort and disorientation of surgery and recovery. Thank you kind Lady.

I want to thank you again for the super hospitality. It was incredibly helpful. Even though I was in Costa Rica by myself, I never really felt alone. I had a really good time actually and the surgery barely got in the way. Everything with the nose is fine. I told almost no one and no one noticed a thing, which is what I wanted.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for the care, consideration and kindness you extended to me during my recent two week stay at your very beautiful and comfortable Inn. I will never forget the great meals you prepared and the fresh flowers, but the list goes on and on.

I have been in the hotel and resort business for over twenty-five years and can attest to the fact that the services your provide are unequaled.

Hello Elke:

Not a day goes by that I do not think of you and the warm welcome you extended to Roman & I. Yesterday evening we had a sort of small reunion. We met at Mari's clinic. The doctor took my stitches out and I am doing well. Thank you again for all your wonderful care and to your daughter for the wonderful romantic memories of our "serenata night". Hope to keep in touch with you. You will see me again.

Dear Doctor,

I have been home for a week now and feeling better, as well as getting feeling back in more of my face. My cheeks are still slightly bruised and swollen, but I´m still getting positive comments from my friends.

I can´t thank you enough for recommending Las Cumbres for my recovery. I enjoyed my stay more than any time I´ve been in Costa Rica, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Elke and her staff. They go out of their way to make sure each of their guests are comfortable.

I know it must be comforting for you to have an individual such as Elke Arends caring for your patients as she is so dedicated to meeting the specific needs of each one.

The meals, the view, the pleasant and professional staff, and above all, the outstanding after surgery care at an affordable price add to a positive surgical experience.

I´m looking forward to staying with Elke during future visits to Costa Rica.
