Best trip ever! Costa Rica is absolutely beautiful and magical. All the drivers were waiting and all the accommodations arranged — Anywhere took care of every detail so we don’t have to stress.
We wanted to take the kids to Costa Rica to appreciate the ecotourism. Monteverde region blew us away with the Twilight Walk, Children's Eternal Rainforest and the cabins and greenhouse at Los Pinos, including the cabins designed to profit from natural light in the washrooms. The butterfly garden tour in Monteverde was my father's favourite of the many tours that we took and my children appreciated the coffee tour in Arenal for the hot chocolate that we made and for Gustavo's enthusiasm and interaction with the kids. Exposure to the nature was one thing but seeing how the society embraces nature for conservation was truly impressive.
Beautiful country and culture. We would like to return and go to the East side.
Great. What a beautiful country. Very impressive on how clean it is and the way of life.
We were very impressed with Costa Rica's sustainability and emphasis on being environmentally conscious.
Costa Rica is an amazingly sustainable country and we really liked how much the country cares about its carbon footprint and saving its forests. It is beautiful and knows how to cater to tourism well without ruining the environment. It's a wonderful place that we would definitely want to visit again.
We all loved Costa Rica and had a great time. It was nice to see sustainability practices at the hotels although it was not what we really considered when choosing a hotel. However, it was nice to see.
I would (and already have) recommend visiting Costa Rica to friends. I hope to go back someday myself. I think Costa Rica is doing a great job with sustainability.
Costa Rica is a beautiful country full of beautiful people. When talking about Costa Rica with my mom/travel partner, she said "Is that someplace people go?". After our first day there all her worries were alleviated by all of the wonderful and helpful people we met.
I did not meet one unfriendly person. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I loved the experience of Costa Rica!
I love Costa Rica and plan to return.
We loved Costa Rica! From the start of our journey to the end, we were truly amazed with the ecology,wildlife viewing, breathtaking scenery, friendly people and overall unspoiled natural setting. We will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful trip. All arrangements were handled promptly and on time. With howler monkeys outside our windows and being able to walk right onto the beach, it doesn’t get better than this.
Costa Rica was awesome. We do a lot of travelling and this was one our best trips ever.
We visited three very different parts of Costa Rica—Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, and Drake Bay. Tracy at Anywhere.com was wonderful! Very responsive, proactive, and helpful!
Our favorite part of the trip was experiencing all of the wildlife, monkeys, birds, butterflies and the scenery was GORGEOUS! Each portion of our two-week stay went according to plan, and we have many fond memories for our next trip!
We were so impressed with Costa Rica! It is wonderful how much the locals care for the earth!! Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming!! We tell ANYONE who will listen that Costa Rica is the best vacation that we have EVER had.... I (Angela) honestly didn't want to come home... I told my husband that I could live here forever!!!
Everything came together without a hitch. Reservations were all made as requested and modified in a timely manner if requested. My wife wants to return with the whole family!
We had an amazing time on all of our tours! Our guide was all business and showed us some amazing animals! Arenal and Drake Bay were both so beautiful, it was worth the effort to get there!
We visited the Arenal and the Tamarindo areas. Tourism appears to be the only industry that we saw. It is obvious that Costa Rica needs tourism to provide for its growth and environmental efforts. It is refreshing to have seen such little development in those areas. Our lower rating for "returning in the future" is because we typicall do not repeat vacations destinations.
I was very impressed with everything Costa Rica is doing to preserve its rain forests, rivers, oceans, etc.
A beautiful country with very friendly people everywhere we went
We are very pleased with our trip. The people we talked to were intelligent and happy to be living in Costa Rica. The food was SO good and fresh. We bought some Lizano sauce to bring home.
Our first but definitely not last time in Costa Rica. We loved all the areas, people, activities, food, everything. Been gushing about our trip to our family and friends since we got back.
Unbelievable place to visit. Never visited a tropical place like that before but the people are very friendly and the food is top notch. Highly recommend to anyone.
With knowledgeable guides and awesome views, Costa Rica absolutely left a lasting memory on our trip. Anywhere worked with our budget and provided the perfect nature-filled vacation.
Anywhere.com was very helpful and responsive. From La Paz Waterfall to Drake Bay, they helped us refine our plans and made the best out of this memorable vacation.
We wanted zip lines, cloud forests, hot springs and relaxing on the beach. Anywhere was AWESOME! Very easy to work with. It's your vacation your way.
I hope Costa Rica can stay the course - it is a wonderful destination with many microclimates and great awareness of the environment. Guides were helpful and knowledgeable and conveyed the ideas of sustainability. A very beautiful country with so much diversity - we would definitely recommend to others who love the natural world.
We really love Costa Rica and will be back. There is something for everyone really.
Yes, we are already recommending our friends and family to visit. We can't wait to return!
Costa Rica is a great country, everyone is willing to help you.
At Monteverde Lodge, we really appreciated that they placed water jugs in each room and offered ice and fresh fruit for the water each evening. This would be a great idea for other accommodations - we would be less inclined to buy water in plastic bottles for the room, and it would indicate that the tap water was great to drink (if that was the case).
Loved the company and people. Everyone was so nice and proud of their country which made the visit great!
Costa Rica continues to become a more expensive destination, but it is well worth it. An absolutely beautiful country with wonderful people.
We planned this tropical getaway with our friends, and Tracy from Anywhere helped us find the best accommodations to stay at. From rainforests to beaches, Costa Rica has so much beautiful scenery to offer!
Costa Rica is a beautiful country and it's clear the people take pride in the sustainability efforts put forward by the local government.
I love your country and can't wait to come back. The kindness of the people really stood out in my mind.
We thought it was going to be a fun and relaxing honeymoon, but our trip to Costa Rica was much more substantial than that. It was amazing talking to the local Costa Ricans. The overall pace of life is calmer. There is so much more respect in Costa Rica. Respect for each other, respect for the environment, the animals, and life in general. We learned a lot on our trip, and can not wait to return. We highly recommend Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
Costa Rica is a lovely country! I am very impressed with all you do to preserve the beauty and wildlife so abundant.
To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, we chose to visit Costa Rica. It was our first time visiting, but we fell in love with the place immediately. From Arenal, to Monteverde, to Manuel Antonio we’d come back again!
My husband and I are lucky enough to have traveled to many places. Our Costa Rica trip was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. I was so impressed with how smooth all of our plans went. We look forward to returning in a few years.
While at the hotels did do sustainable practices as much as possible they forgot some very important things that we made sure to mention to them. For example, they had recycle trash bin's etc. but they did not have closing lids on them so raccoons and other animals could go into the trash and search for food and eat something that could potentially hurt them or poison them. All trash cans must have lids on them, especially in the public restrooms since you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet. That was very unsanitary. Most importantly protect the wildlife.
We loved everything about Costa Rica! The people were so welcoming, the food was delicious, prices were reasonable and we felt safe every place we visited. I can't wait to return to Costa Rica for an anniversary in the future. Pura Vida!
One suggestion would be to let people know the amount of time to drive from hotel to hotel. If I would have known, I would have stayed longer in fewer hotels.
I am so happy that we had booked with Anywhere! You provided excellent service in both planning and during the trip. I loved that it was so easy to enjoy the trip as everything was booked and paid for in advance.
Costa Rica is amazing! We both tried rafting for the first time and had such a wonderful time. The chocolate was the best I've ever had. This was the tropical getaway we needed!
Our trip went very smoothly with all of our pick ups on time. The hotels, destinations and tours recommended by Roy Soto, our tour organiser were all of an excellent standard. For future reference, a lot of our trips were very early so we often missed breakfast at our hotels. It may be useful for fellow travelers to have a list of local cafes/hotels in each location that open early for breakfast. All in all our trip was very enjoyable, the scenery is suberb, the beaches beautiful and unspoiled, the wildlife abundant and incredibly diverse, and the people of Costa Rica are friendly and very hospitable. I would recommend a trip to Costa Rica for an unforgettable experience and I'd recommend Anywhere as a fantastic way to organise the trip of a lifetime, tailored specifically for you.
Costa Rica has really got itself well organised for tourism, the service was spot on, the travel timing accurate ( although some of the roads were really poor, pot holed). Hotels and activities are really geared for tourists and they made us feel welcome.
