Hi Rob!

I am staying at Chetica and it is in the mountains. I have not come
across any mosquitoes yet, but if they are here, I am sure you will
find some! I stayed at a resort in San Jose my first trip and was not
happy with that stay at all. I am in the mountains this time and
completely happy.

I have only had lipo done. I say only....there was no "only" about
it. I would plan to stay at a recovery retreat the entire time. It is
worth it to have someone check on you, bring your meds, make sure you
are alive, call the doctor if not...etc.

My experience at the one recovery place I stayed at was they kept
their windows open. So being in the city is not guarantee against
mosquitoes. Here in the mountains, I am at Chetica now
recovering..there are screens on all the windows, so I have not
noticed any bugs or heard complaints from other guests.

Best of luck!

Brandee
