Did you ever get our pictures to share with all of Potomac on what an INCREDIBLE!!!!! MOST AMAZING!!!! trip our family could have ever taken to Costa Rica?
Again, THANK YOU!!!!!... Brauna, Jim and the Martin Boys, Potomac, MD
We had a fantastic time! You made everything so easy for us, and I truly appreciate it. The hotels were good; we especially like the Grano de Oro in San Jose. The food at the restaurant was excellent! Thank you for your help.
We loved every area, but I think for me Ocotal and the Pacific Coast were the best -- the view of the Gulf of Papagayo from the Octoal resort was spectacular and the diving was great there. The staff was very friendly there. Also, Monteverde was a blast with the zip tour -- the 150-foot drop off Tarzan swing at the end of the zip tour was really thrilling!
We saw and did a lot, but realized how much more Costa Rica has to offer. We definitely need more time there! I think when we go back we would like to spend more time and visit Arenal and the hot springs, then go south to Manuel Antonio and Corcovado. I promise to contact you and get your assistance with our next trip too!
Also, if you need another sales person or guide for American tourists in Costa Rica, let me know. I am ready to throw in the towel on corporate life and do something different and fun..... :)
Thanks again -- I truly appreciate all your help.
Best,... Adreanna, San Francisco, CA
I wanted to thank you for all the work you did and let you know that we had a fabulous time on our vacation. Everything you set up worked seamlessly. We would definitely recommend you to others and use you again for another trip to different regions. We particularly LOVED the nice treat of Xandari at the end!
Thanks again.... Wendy Lane, Dobbs Ferry, NY
We have returned from a wonderful and perfect holiday which you planned for us in Costa Rica. We especially loved Lapa Rios and the Tabacon Hot Springs and enjoyed the drives we took with your drivers through the cloud forest and to Playa Conchal. Everyone was on time and although they did not speak english they did try to point out the odd bird or iguanna on the road. We also much appreciated the 24 hour help line people who were so pleasant to answer our questions and to accomodate our wishes.
We would highly recommend you and your agency to any of our friends who wish to visit Costa Rica and we will return someday soon. Thanks for all your help and advice.... Deanna Rosenswig, Toronto, Canada
We just got back from our trip last night and wanted to thank you for all your help with the planning. The trip was amazing. We really enjoyed ourselves and all of the logisitics worked out perfectly. Thank you again.... Seth & Rebecca Allyn, Washington DC
Hey! Just wanted to let you know what a WONDERFUL time we had in Costa Rica. The kids did not want to leave and enjoyed all the great activities you suggested (or at least the ones we had time to do!) The transportation (both air and ground) were all on time and great. The accommodations were wonderful and we did so much, yet had time to relax as well. Thank you so much for all the work you put into arranging our trip. Warmest Regards,... Mary and the whole McDonald Clan, Arlington VA
What a fantastic, fantastic trip. Everything went off so very smoothly including the things we threw at you at the last minute (the extra luggage). I can’t thank you enough for working with me, and providing really such super guides and drivers. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was wonderful not to worry about anything. You’re guides and drivers all were so professionally, timely and informative.... Ellen Rogers, Birmingham, MI
I wanted to let you know that again we had a wonderful trip in Costa Rica and also to thank you again for all your careful planning and attention to our needs. I have and will tell people here how well you
took care of us and recommend your services.
Everywhere we went was beautiful with so much to see and do. Everyone we met were kind and helpful. We met many people from Costa Rica, as
many were also on family vacations, which made our time even more special and we learn allot about your country and the people that live there. I have been busy learning about the food and brought things
back so that we can share family meals with the memories of a great trip. You must be proud to live in such a great country!
I know that we will all return.... The Mckenzie Family, Toronto, Canada
Just wanted to touch base with you about our trip to Costa Rica. It was fabulous! Memorable Costa Rica did a terrific job and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended.... Linda Mckend, Toronto, Canada
I wanted to write and thank you very much for all your help. Everything went exactly as you arranged and we had a wonderful time. (The only hitch, which you may have heard about, was that the international airport in San Jose was closed on account of weather on the day we were scheduled to return, so the local flight had to be canceled. Monica arranged for a van to take us overland to the airport, which turned out to be a very enjoyable tour of the countryside between Manuel Antonio and the San Jose International Airport. Our plane was delayed anyway, so we had plenty of time.) We only wish that we had more time in Costa Rica.
Xandari was magical and we would highly recommend it to anyone. And Arenas del Mar was wonderful. Since the hotel wasn't very full, we were able to upgrade to a suite, and we enjoyed the resort very much: the pools, the beaches, and the surrounding area.
We have already recommended you to a few of our friends, so you may be hearing from them at some point.
Thanks, again.
Best regards,... Terry & Linda, Los Angeles, CA
We had a great trip thanks to you. We really enjoyed each hotel and were happy with the different offerings/environment at each. We're the types to like a little of everything.
The JW Marriott was a beautiful new resort. We had great weather there and enjoyed the pool/beach/gym/restaurants. One night we took a cab into Tamarindo and ate a fabulous local meal at Nogui's.
Villa Blanca was a nice laid back hotel. We took nature walks, enjoyed the spa, read, and relaxed.
And then Tabacon was a great spot. We visited the hot springs daily and enjoyed Los Tucanes a couple of times. We made it into town for an awesome grilled meats dinner at Don Rufinos. Zip-lining was great - Sky Trek's instructors were really fun and we enjoyed the breathtaking views (after getting over our initial fears). And white water rafting was great too. A bit colder that day but we survived the Sarapiqui. The New Years eve dinner was a bit cheezy but it was no big deal. New Years is always overrated!
The different drivers you booked were timely and really knowledgeable. We were impressed with how much they wanted to please and how much they knew about Costa Rica and it's culture.
All in all, it really was a great trip. I will definitely pass your name around for memorable Costa Rica adventures. Thanks again!... Jess & Sol, New York, NY
To say our trip was wonderful, is truly an understatement. We had a ball! What a fabulous trip and such an amazingly beautiful country. Thank you for all of you input...the hotels were lovely and all the connections were very smooth. I really don't think we would have done anything differently! Thanks again and if you ever need someone as a reference, please do not hesitate to use me!... Naina L. Williams, Washington DC
Marcus,
I’m sorry for not emailing you earlier. I got a little overwhelmed since getting into the office on Monday, plus I’m recovering from a little bout of “Montezuma’s Revenge”, so I dropped the ball in communicating with you.
We had a truly wonderful time. The trip was a LOT of fun and very relaxing – although it was quite activity and adventure filled. Your hotel recommendation for Arenas del Mar was spot-on. We absolutely loved having the beach right at our feet. The drive down to the hotel was a bit nightmarish – I hope they’re going to fix that road – but otherwise it was a great resort. And, being so close to the wild animals (we could see monkeys from our hotel room) was pretty special. Gaia also looked pretty fantastic (we went there for dinner one evening), but we preferred being on the ocean for the days we were in Manuel Antonio.
Tabacon was – well, pretty fantastic. And, the Arenal volcano is quite a sight, although it was quite rude in not providing us with a little eruption show while we were there. The Tabacon Springs – unbelievably unique. The spa is among the best I’ve ever been to. The forest Zip-lining was our favorite activity. Wow!
We’re already talking about going back in a couple of years. The country is beautiful. The people are very friendly. The services were more than we expected. And, there’s a lot more for us to see and do there.
And, your feedback during our planning and the way everything was taken care of from start to finish was fantastic. It was nice having everything taken care of with your voucher system so that we didn’t have to worry about anything. I will have no problem recommending you and your business to our friends and family and will most certainly call you when the time comes to plan our next Costa Rican adventure.
Thank you again for everything

Hi Marcus,
We are back from our trip and it was truly fantastic! Everything went very smoothly and we had no problems with any of the arrangements. My family had a wonderful time and I so appreciate all your help with the planning and also with rearranging the entire trip when we had to reschedule. I have a number of friends who are considering a vacation in Costa Rica and I will definitely be referring them to you. Please let me know if you are interested in more detailed feedback about any of the hotels, tours, etc.
Again, I can't thank you enough!
Take care,
Debbie... Debbie Miller, USA
I want to thank you for everything. We had the most wonderful trip in Costa Rica which gave us a taste of "more". Everything went flawlessly and by schedule, except some problems we had with the Dollar Rent A Car. They gave us a car without any facilities of luggage-holding on the roof, so we had to improvize a solution, and 2 days later they transported us another car with a basket to Arenal Springs Hotel. All the hotels were just marvelous.... Ronit Sankevitz, Ra'anana, Israel
Costa Rica was great. It couldn't have been more well planned and I have pictures from The Los Altos to show you. It was fabulous! Thank you so much. Our family had so much fun and the side trips we did were perfect with no hitches whatsoever. Thanks for your help. I'll come in next week.... Katy Krook, San francisco, California
Meni,
We have been back from Costa Rica for almost two week but our hearts are still there. It was an amazing trip and far, far exceeded our expectations. The guides and drivers were wonderful and every place we stayed was a new adventure. The pace of the trip offered excitement but also some very wonderful exploration and rest time. Thank you so much. Please let me know if there is anything I can do (feedback forms and the like) to help you and Memorable Costa Rica out, please let me know.
Thank you again and Pura Vida!
