CRV is a great choice for a first trip to Costa Rica Really enjoyed everything that CRV did with us. We had less than 2 months to plan our trip during CR's busy season.The itinerary CRV planned was what we wanted -- several days each in a cloud forest, at a Pacfic Coast beach, and near the Arena volcano, with opportunities to see wildlife at each. Each driver we had was excellent -- safe, knowledgeable, English-speaking, in a spotless van, and with snacks. The accomodations were great and appropriately priced. When we had local guides they were terrific, too. I really recommend CRV to people going to CR for the first time.

The company took care of everything The company took care of everything, from rooms, to shuttles, transfers, booking excursions. It was as turnkey as a vacation can get. Everything was documented and easy to follow, and taken care of. We communicated throughout the trip with Costa Rica vacations for recommendations, and any and every question. A 5 minute response was always there. One tiny hiccup that in my opinion turned into Costa Rican Vacations biggest win was we had an 3 hr drive with a bad air conditioner in a van. We messaged CR Vacations 10 min in and they immediately got another van sent to us while we were driving (within an hr to catch up) and paid for our lunch as well to cover the inconvenience. This above and beyond service after they already had nothing to gain except for a happy customer, shows they never stopped taking care of us on our trip/.

Our vacation was perfect! Our vacation could not have been any more perfect. Felix was very patient as we customized the places and excursions and prices we wanted. Every detail was covered. Drivers were all delightful, friendly, safe, and helped us understand more about Costa Rica. Lodgings and food exceeded our expectations, and were reasonably priced. Costa Rica is a beautiful country--wish we could have seen more. We loved Casa Luna for its beauty and its food and its view of Arenal. We loved the waterfall hike and the local ("typical") food. Zip-lining at 600 feet up was awesome. We saw monkeys, crocodiles, geckos, toucans, and iguanas. Three perfect sunsets. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Words cannot express how incredible… Words cannot express how incredible Shelly Huff is from Costa Rican Vacations! She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She took the time to understand exactly what my fiancé and I wanted for our trip and built the dream vacation package. I literally felt like I was talking to a best friend when her and I discussed my trip and could tell she actually cared.

The trip was amazing and stress free The trip was amazing and stress free. We did not have to worry about anything. Costa Rican vacations took care of all of the planning and the communication was on point. We customized the trip based on what we wanted to do. Sebastian offered several different hotels and things to do, along with his favorite restaurants. They even scheduled a romantic dinner for us one night that was fantastic. They provided all of the info needed for COVID paperwork and answered the questions we had. The service was beyond our expectations while in Costa Rica. We are already planning our next trip!
