My wife and I enjoyed our trip to Costa Rica very much. The climate was great, the day trips to the rainforest, volcano and hot springs were truly memorable, and the information provided by the program on Sleep Apnea was interesting and helpful.

The Hotel Martino is located on a gorgeous property, the staff was very helpful and the food was excellent. Best of luck with future programs.

“I`ve attended a number of surgery meetings, and this was by far the most interesting and helpful. Outstanding surroundings and organization.”

“The course was quality continuing education in an unbelievably beautiful environment at a cost that is similar to local courses where you´re stuffed into a 66 degree hotel lecture room with 200 other dentists on folding chairs. You have to experience Costa Rica and the wonderful Hotel Martino-good CE is "icing".”
Robert Davidson, D.D.S.

“My wife and I extremely enjoyed our seminar in Costa Rica.  Our course on oral pathology was excellent, and we particularly enjoyed the instructor.  We enjoyed the Hotel Martino, which was very comfortable, the staff very friendly, and the Italian based cooking very good-excellent. Costa Rica itself was beautiful, safe, and friendly.  We are planning on attending another seminar."
Lynn Thomas, D.D.S.

“I was very happy to attend the University of Florida continuing education program in Costa Rica.  It is such an exciting and exotic country to see, first hand.  I enjoyed the extensive CE program and felt that it was good, practical information that I could directly  apply to my practice, as soon as I returned to work.  The facility for the program was surprisingly first rate.  The location provided an excellent base from which to tour and was a relaxing, wonderfully run resort with many amenities, including spa facilities.  I would  encourage anyone who might be thinking of such a trip, to take the  plunge and go for this one!”
Roger G McArtor, R.Ph. AZ

“The opportunity to participate in a well-organized, well-presented CE program is always valued. But when you add in the lush backdrop of Costa Rica, you have a win-win! The University of Florida College of Pharmacy Continuing Education Programs and its host, Dr. Douglas Benn, are to be congratulated on creating an outstanding training & travel combination that is both reasonable and – dollar for dollar – a tremendous travel bargain.Resort Martino is an oasis  - a lovely pool and garden area, complete fitness center and spa, as well as a warm staff and amazing food – and it is all set within a few hours’ ride to most any spot in Costa Rica. The Resort staff kindly assists guests with tours to coffee plantations, the rainforest, the rapids, volcanoes, and lush landscapes. The Resort is just outside the main city of San Jose, and yet far enough to provide you with a sense of being far removed from the city noises.”
Ross Webb, B.S. R.Ph. FL

“Although I have attended many courses at the U Of F Campus, this recent course was my first experience attending a U of F off-campus course...which was held in Costa Rica. The course was excellent .Going to a country I have never been to and not speaking the language was tempered to the point of putting me at ease prior to leaving the States. Every question I e-mailed was immediately answered to my satisfaction. I was met at the airport by a driver from the hotel..

No problem. We found all the people to be very helpful and friendly.The hotel had room service available, even tho our arrival was late and we had missed dinner. The Hotel Martino is in a setting of large trees and various plants...very beautiful. The weather was ideal and we had no need for Airconditioning. Meals were served in an open air setting most of the time, which was very pleasant. Also, the hotel was very helpful in setting up tours to see the volcano sites, coffee plantations and many other exciting trips... Also, the spa was very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thank you.”
