Our trip was seamless. All connections were super easy, right from the airport when we were met by Lorena. We had great drivers who made a long drive fun and interesting. Our accomodation in Manuel Antonio was perfect.
The country is fantastic, people are friendly and the plants, animals and birds made the trip one of our favourites.

Your company completely blew us away, you helped us and were so reachable the whole time. You helped make the most memorable vacation.

We all had a phenomenal time and will fondly look back on this trip!
We all loved Lapaz waterfall gardens and our stay at the peace lodge and wish we had spent an extra day there. We got to see the most animals and wildlife there. The weather cleared up by the second half of our journey and all the drivers you chose for us were so kind and courteous. We also loved Tabacon - the service and hot spring, facilities were incredible as well as Si Como No. I really have no complaints about our whole journey. We enjoyed the ziplining, and the lapaz waterfall bird feeding experience the most. We just got lucky and all the animals were awake, cooperative and happy.

We had amazing trip from start to finish. The My Costa Rica team helped us create our perfect honeymoon vacation. We stayed in 3 different parts of the country. Arenal, Monteverde, and Guanacaste and we felt the length of stay for each one was absolutely perfect. We did 3 excursions set up through My Costa Rica which were all amazing. Zip lining through the rain forest, hiking through the cloud forest, and an ATV ride in Guanacaste. The transportation was on point. Always arrived exactly at the time on our itinerary, not a minute later. All of our hotel reservations were seamless, we had no issues at all with lodging or transport for our entire 10 day trip! Highly recommend!

I was in a group of 10 that just returned from a birding trip to Costa Rica. My Costa Rica provided us with Abel who was an exceptional guide. He went beyond the scheduled tours to take us to places where he knew there were special birds such as Great Green Macaws. We traveled to a variety of habitats so got to see more than 220 birds including several Resplendent Quetzals--what a way to finish a trip!!

My Costa Rica planned the most amazing vacation for us. Everything flowed seamlessly and was catered to our requests. There was an amazing amount of variety in our trip, from cities, to beaches, to mountains. The hotels we stayed in were clean, comfortable, and offered free breakfast which was a nice amenity. We were picked up and dropped off for each of our planned activities that My Costa Rica planned for us. We loved our trip and can't wait to use My Costa Rica to visit the country again!

We have spent (and March - early April) a 12-day holiday in Costa Rica, planned and booked with the support of My Costa Rica travel agency. They were very respondent to our wishes, the contact was quick, suggestions made were excellent, the process was smooth at all stages. Once in Costa Rica, everything was rolling as on wheels, the agency was checking on us and offering support on a regular basis. The WhatsApp contact was in real time (immediate) and we felt reassured to know they were available if need be. We can only recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica. Our thanks and gratitude to the whole team (Jason, Lorena, Kathleen were our main contacts) and also to all those (drivers, guides, hotel staff, etc., etc.) who made our holidays memorable! Pura Vida!

My Costa Rica did an amazing job helping us to organize this amazing vacation of a lifetime. Everything was so well organized and prompt. The hotels were outstanding. The excursions were incredible. From the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we were dropped back at the airport for departure, we were always well taken care of. Anytime we had a question, a quick response was given to us via 'What's App' with the employees at 'My Costa Rica'. Thank you for this amazing experience and for the concern and care shown to us from the planning stages months ago to the weeks checking in on us, after we returned. Your professionalism is greatly appreciated and highly recommended!

It was an unforgettable experience. Beautiful animals and landscape! Saw a great deal of unique wildlife and plenty of pictures to remember it.
We really enjoyed the arenal volcano hike and manual antonio beach days. The national parks in both areas were also beautiful. Hanging bridges was really cool too. The baldi hot springs were awesome and a fun place that i highly recommend. Si comi no hotel was also was very beautiful, great views of the ocean and had tasty food options. Great wildlife presence near each place.

My Costa Rica planned the perfect family vacation. The staff listened to our requests as we developed our itinerary. The accommodations were wonderful, and the trip was well-coordinated and went very smoothly. I was impressed that staff responded within just a few minutes when I sent texts with questions during our trip. Thank you for making it so easy to travel to Costa Rica, it took much of the stress out of traveling so that we could just enjoy the beautiful country.

My wife and I had an amazing time in Costa Rica. You and your team did an amazing job setting up our itinerary - from listening to our preferences all the way to execution, everything was amazing.

Both resorts were great though we felt Secrets Papagayo was outstanding. Being 'preferred' guests was a really great bonus. The lounge they had for us was great and we felt really catered to. We were grateful to have a room right next to the main area as we felt having one farther away may have added a little more of a lag time since it was clear a lot of rooms needed a shuttle.

The food at all the restaurants in Secrets was amazing as well. We enjoyed everything about the resort.

We added a jet-ski tour which turned out to be a really nice experience.

Tabacón was a great stay though we definitely missed the all-inclusive part as the restaurants and services felt a little overpriced.
Other than that, we enjoyed the hot springs and the close proximity to La fortuna. We enjoyed walking around town and trying the local cuisine. I would say if we ever go back to that area, we would go for a more economical hotel and explore the area more.

Another thing that stood out was how punctual everyone was. All of our transportation arrived right on time and was very courteous.

We really enjoyed both scheduled excursions but our favorite activity was the boat tour. We were pleasantly surprised that lunch was at a local ranch and the food was amazing. The pottery demonstration was also a nice bonus. Our tour guide was amazing and made sure I got all the photos I wanted to since he saw I had my camera.

We are 100% satisfied we decided to go to Costa Rica and that we used MyCostaRica to book our travel. I have already recommended you to the rest of my family in hopes they travel there soon.

Thank you so much for everything you and your team have done to ensure our honeymoon was amazing

Pura Vida!

My Costa Rica helped curate an amazing itinerary for my family's first trip out of the country. As I am usually a solo traveler, this was out of my expertise. I turned to them for help and they did not disappoint.

It was absolutely amazing and everyone in my family had a memorable trip, especially since it was their first time out of the country. Costa Rica was more than I could have ever imagined.

Honestly, my favorite part about visiting was the people. Everyone was so happy to help, share their expertise, guide tourists, share their insights on their local living and exert such happiness. I had a lovely time spending hours with different tour guides, drivers during our long transfers, and everyone else I had the opportunity to share a moment with.

My favorite hotel was San Bada in Manuel Antonio. Not only were the rooms beautiful, but the location outside the park and a short distance from the beach was perfect! We did really enjoy Montana de Fuego as well... especially the mineral pools.

Lastly, I think we all agreed our favorite was the ziplining with Sky Adventures! Again, everyone who worked there was so excited to be guiding us. It was exhilarating and beautiful at the same time.

They did a great job working with me to plan this trip, and I am grateful I chose My Costa Rica as my first travel agency. They chose activities and locations that fit all our needs with constant communication throughout the entire process and during the trip!

Thank you so much for the continuous support and everything you all did to make this trip one to remember with my family.

My boyfriend and I used My Costa Rica to plan our vacation and the booking experience was amazing! Jason was extremely knowledgable about the various places, excursions, and hotels. He was extremely accommodating to our changes and was a pleasure to work with! He arranged pickup from Tamarindo from a different trip, daily excursions and hotels at Arsenal National Park and Manual Antonio National Park, and transportation to the San Jose airport. He never tried to make us spend more money than we were comfortable with and I truly appreciate it. Jason was very responsive and patient answering all of our questions. We also got emails on tips,tricks, and suggestions throughout the planning which will make outlets trip that much better! The payment process was handled by Lorena and was extremely painless as well. Overall I would highly highly recommend using My Costa Rica and taking advantage of their expertise!

Everything that you arranged went perfect and the Drivers were always on time and drove safely through the mountains.

The hotels were great and loved the Ziplining.

We also did a horse back ride to a water fall by the Volcano and deep sea fishing on the Pacific. The horseback ride guide was awesome and waterfall/swimming was great, but be ready for an agressive hike back up the the horses.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
