Che Teca Ranch my review
-
I too thought Che-Teca Recovery Ranch was disgusting. I told my Dr immediately. I could barely stay 24 hours. Full nursing staff is a lie! They have a young girl in a uniform who is NOT a nurse bringing you ice in baggies, water etc. These so called nurses do NOT speak English! When I arrived, my husband called the ranch and was greeted by the mother of Lorena. She hung up on his Int'l call twice! Why?? She does NOT speak English so she just hung up even after he said my name!!! This is clearly NOT set up for Americans! My husband was distraught thinking something happened to me as I was alone. This is unexcusable! The place was like camping in my grandmother's attic! No kidding! MUSTY, dingy, old and the furniture you are supposed to be recovering on is so old and hard and stinky that it was pathetic! Yes, the only nice part of the whole place was the "castle" that Lorena lives in! Then, they insist on you getting your prescriptions filled at their neighborhood pharmacy, what a joke! I tried to have the driver stop in San Jose after leaving the hospital, he insisted that we use their pharmacy (gee, a kick back do ya think?) He said they deliver, etc...ok, get this...double the prices, and then you pay a delivery fee!! my meds were at least 3 times the price of any normal pharmacy! Then if that wasn't bad enough, the pharmacy did not have my pain meds until the next day, so there I am after surgery, with no help what so ever! Don't plan on relaxing in this place! Loud does not begin to describe the noise. Basically, you are in a musty, moldy, stinky tacky cottage in their frint yard. They come and go all around you noise, dogs and all as if you were not there. You live with thier daily activities....building construction etc. Hang it up Lorena, this is the biggest scam in all of Costa Rica! Try La Sabana apart-otel for a beautiful, clean, half the price of this dump, wonderful stay! This place was so nasty, I left and went to the airport sick over how bad it was. I had NO recovery, only a huge bill....she adds on so much stuff it is a shame! Please people, if you agree, back us up so that more ladies do not go there and get bad service and most importnatly NO recovery! We only have each other's opinions to rely on. I don't care how sweet people think Lorena is, bottom line is that this place is nasty and she has been told umpteen times, this is not news to her!
