I went on a school trip when I was taking Spanish. I stayed out in the country, in a person's home in Sabana Grande - not in a hotel. Live chickens, turkeys and pigs walking around the yard - nests of fire ants that I stepped into and they started crawling up my entire leg (biting me all the way to my thigh) - and they have flying cockroaches as big as your fist (one flew into my hair). I mentioned something about the rooster crowing so early in morning and they served it for dinner that night. No screens in window - lizards on walls - had to sleep with a net around bed at night. Yuch!
That said the rain forest is beautiful - no crime where I was (people in neighborhood very very nice) - and I cut down and ate real sugar cane.
It was an interesting experience but I'd never pay money to go there.
