1 - Forest Lodges - Arenal Volcano - Manuel Antonio

My husband and I truly enjoyed our recent trip to Costa Rica. The entire process with your website was easy, convenient and everything was taken care of without any issues. We really enjoyed customizing our trip to our specific needs and desires. The customer service was great, and I never felt lost or unsure of what would take place on our vacation. The hotels were wonderful (I did research on my own regarding each hotel we chose), all of the excursions were as described and the companies were always on time and more than helpful and friendly. We especially enjoyed our hike of the Arenal Volcano. Our guide Freud was awesome and he was extremely friendly and accommodating. We stayed at several hotels and I can happily say the transportation to each destination was safe, and a lot better than I expected. Overall, it was a great experience and we would absolutely recommend utilizing your website to book a great and memorable trip.

We had a fabulous trip to Costa Rica! I want to move there now, but I think I`m just going to have to settle for visiting again as soon as possible.
Our hotels were amazing. Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Reserve was gorgeous and the staff was so wonderful. Arenas del Mar in Manual Antonio was just an incredible place - impeccable service, good food, wonderful atmosphere. And who doesn`t like monkeys running around?
It was incredibly difficult to find the San Jose Marriott Resort, but once we found it, it was like entering a little paradise. What a beautiful hotel. Also great food and great service.
Over all, great trip! Thank you!

Everything was great on our trip. We had very nice and efficient drivers, the hotels were great, and the tours were wonderful. We also liked that your company communicated with us at all times when changes occurred. The only thing that was ;Interesting; on our trip was experiencing the 7.6 earthquake. Luckily we were OK, and now it makes for an exciting story to tell about our honeymoon! Also, the food at Villa Blanca was outstanding. Some of the best food I have ever had.
I would definitely consider using your company again for future travel and would definitely recommend you to friends and family.
Thanks!

I was really amazed by the quality of the services I booked through your website, and would like to extend my thanks to everyone involved.
Everything was exactly as scheduled, all transfers were on time, all hotels knew about us before our arrival and all rooms we had were great.
I am recommending you to everyone asking where and how I ordered my trip to Costa Rica, and will be ordering through you again.
Thanks!

The trip was fun and enjoyable, though a bit of a rushed feeling. Would have liked to spend more time in Arenal. How ever this was a good way to get an idea of what some of the towns are like.
The hotels were all nice and comfortable and more than expected.
Follow up calls from the local travel agency were also received to check on how our travel was going.
One thing that your website said was that we would recieve a private car with reclining seats. This was not the case. It was the standard tourist van. (yes, it was a private transfer that was ordered). Also, the shuttle van was about an hr early at one location, but driver waited without complaint to us.Other wise, all was fine.
If possible, would like option of flight to travel between cities rather than take long drives. (one segement was approx 5 hrs with winding roads). This is not meant to be a complaint, but would rather fly in certain situations especially when long windy roads are involved.
Overall, was happy with the hotel selections and arrangements provided by your website and would recommend.

We couldn`t have planned a better trip and thanks to your website you made that possible for me to give my daughter the best graduating gift ever. I am still getting caught up on being gone but I plan to post a very positive review on Trip Advisor also.
It`s wonderful to have everything confirmed, the drivers were always on time and a couple times early, and very courteous. It was helpful when they spoke English since some of the drives are long and then we could communicate better.
The places we stayed all exceeded our expectations and they all had wonderful accommodations and excellent service. I have already given your company name to several friends who plan to book and I will not hesitate to use your business for our future.
Thanks Again!
