"Nice to hear from you!... I wanted to let you know how much we absolutely loved Costa Rica!!!

Our trip was a memorable adventure and we can't wait to return! We also met and enjoyed the company of many genuinely warm and wonderful people (Ticos, of course) with whom we celebrated Christmas, dancing and drinking cervezas at the local Rodeo and Baile in San Juanillo, near Sanctuary for two nights. Even Taylor had a blast, dancing with the local girls and chatting in Spanish with our Tico buddies, Mauricio and Diego. ...We traveled to the BuenaVista Lodge near Rincon de La Vieja and experienced the thrill of the ziplines and the long, lightning-fast waterslide, and rode horses up the scenic mountain trail to the invigorating mud pots and hot springs! Juan also took us rafting down the Rio Colorado, which was another awesome adventure...

Needless to say, our trip to Costa Rica was memorable one and now you know why! Thank you again for all of your advice and patience in planning such a spectacular trip. Please don't hesitate to recommend these adventures to others, especially if you think they'll appreciate the experience!

Sincerely",

"We had an amazing time - I can't thank you enough. Everything was fantastic, way above our expectations. We have told all our friends to call you.

The GH drivers & guides were all great. The Rincon/Guachelipin day was an amazing adventure, beloved by all 22 participants. The two three year old little girls ziplines with the guides and wanted more! The tubing thru rapids was the most fun of the whole trip. El Establo was breathtaking, we arrived to a gorgeous sunset view from our room. GH added the skytrek zipline in Monteverde because of the turtle fiasco ( did you hear about that?); that zipline included a beautiful jungle hike and very high scary zips, but everyone loved it. Tabacon was beautiful - dinners were 5 star service including sorbet between courses, etc. (they went for about $200 for the 5 of us). The canyonning was the icing on the cake for our trip - again stunning locale, efficient high quality operation and guides, etc. Still can't believe I did all this! New Years at the hot springs was great, live band, lobster buffet, 30 minutes fireworks, party hats included."

"WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME! The condo office staff were unbelievable and consistently helpful, kind, welcoming and cheerful. The GH tours were great for our family. We particularly enjoyed kayaking with "Ralph" and the turtle watch. The guides for the canopy tour made everyone feel safe and were lots of fun. (Not at all scary.) The housekeeping was terrific and I was VERY glad to have it. Too bad they won't come and clean my house in New York everyday!

Thank you so much for creating a truly memorable Costa Rican vacation, and for the treats and picture frame. We only wish you specialized in other travel destinations because the family is now infected with a desire to travel. Of course, we would go back to Costa Rica in a heart beat, there is much more of the country we would like to see.

We will recommend you to anyone we know interested in a trip to Costa Rica.

Thank you and thank you again".

"Great trip!!!!!!! Absolutely loved it!!! You were right, the highlight was definitely the rappeling. It turns out the owner, Cynthia, grew up a block from where we live in Santa Monica....small world!

I can not say enough about how much fun we, as a family had! You did a wonderful job in coordinating everything for us. From each outdoor adventure, to the hotels, and even to the drivers...now that was a treat, having drivers! All the drivers were on time and friendly too. Each hotel had it's own attribute....Tabacon was awesome with the natural hot springs...yummy! And Si Como No was easy and relaxing with amazing views. And I must say, that San Jose Marriott is the nicest Marriott I've seen. Beautifully decorated...like an old italian villa...gorgeous.

Anyhow, we hope to go back to Costa Rica in a couple years, and do a different type of trip...maybe more jungle hotels, and who knows what else?

I truly thank you for setting up a fabulous and fun filled trip for us.

Many, many thanks, ....and Happy New Year to you..."

"Just wanted to let you know what an absolutely fabulous time we had on our trip. Thanks so much for setting everything up. Your advice and suggestions were great and the vendors and facilities you chose were excellent. Your slogan of "Memorable Costa Rica" is right on the mark.

Thanks again".

"We had an amazing time in Costa Rica!! Everything was perfect from the time we arrived. After experiencing a little Culture Shock at Lapa Rios the first day, we were sad to leave. Thank you soooo much for everything and I am sure we will work with you again in the future."

"we had a fantastic time on the trip. Thanks so much for planning it for us. Absolutey great country"

Doug, New York, NY May 2006

"Wanted to let you know that we had a great time. Everything went very smoothly and we loved the hotels and the activities

We all had so much fun on the zip line (even my mom). Our guide, Fabio was great. If you can, I would request him.

The white water rafting was great. Calm enough for my mom but enough rapids for me and my dad. Our guide Hector and ? were great and I highly recommend them. We saw a sloth, birds and a dart frog.

We also really liked the hanging bridges (we saw a sloth and a snake) and the hot springs was a great way to end the day.

The Paradisus Hotel was great. We really liked that we had a joining rooms. The pool was beautiful and the food was great. Spices was our favorite restaurant. We rented a golf cart and drove around the property, took Spanish and dance lessons, did water aerobics, and loved the spa.

Thank you so much for my birthday present. You were very thoughtful and made my birthday very special. I highly recommend Fernando for a massage. He was excellent and got out all my knots and made me very relaxed.

Also, Melissa, the concierge at the paradisus sent me champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for my birthday. I was very touched by how lovely and caring everyone was.

We really enjoyed our trip and highly recommend your travel company. Please let me know if you need any recommendations.

Regards",
