Jason planned an amazing trip for me and my family! The process was simple: I just told him what activities we were interested in, how long we were planning to be in Costa Rica, and he generated a custom itinerary that fit the budget and interest of my family. We also had the opportunity to revise the itinerary as needed; Jason was really incredible and provided the best service to make sure all details of the trip fit exactly what we were looking for. The end result is that we got a much better experience than booking with a group tour where you have to conform to the schedule of a large group where you can't do exactly the activities that you want to do.
During the actual trip, we had access to Jason's service team who were incredibly responsive and paid so much attetion to detail. They knew where we were at each point during our trip, making sure the drivers arrived on time. The entire experience was so smooth because he handled everything! Once the drivers arrived at each excursion/activity, the tour guides were right there waiting for us!
Highly recommend booking your trip with myCostaRica. You will have a great experience!

The planning stage works great. They kept in contact, made multiple changes I requested, and were very easy to deal with. I can't wait for my trip to happen!

The service and attention My Costa Rica provided was one of the best I ever experienced. Their responsiveness and follow through during the trip planning stage to when we arrived and during the entirety of our trip was incredible. The itinerary they prepared for my trip was amazing. We visited Poas Volcano, Arenal Volcano, Hot Springs, the Rain Forest, Waterfall Gardens, we did Zipline and Snorkeling. We had a great time in Costa Rica and will use My Costa Rica again when we return in a couple of years.

We loved our trip arranged through My Costa Rica. I don't know if we can pick out any one specific hotel or activity because everything was all beyond our furthest expectations.
Our first stop at Hotel Bougainvillea with its tropical gardens was a beautiful and restful place to land. Since we are both vegans we didn't know if they could accommodate our preferences and it turned out we had delicious vegan meals there. For breakfast the cooks offered to veganize any of the buffet items for us. We highly recommend this as a first stop in Costa Rica. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were excellent.
Next we were transported by a very friendly and knowledgeable driver to our next stop, Rancho Naturalista. It was a great place for us as birders. We were introduced to a variety of birds while having our first meal on the porch, eating family style with other birders. Of course, the staff was very accommodating to our vegan diets, with creative gourmet meals, even preparing a vegan ice cream for dessert. We met the owner who was always available to assist in anything we needed. Excellent rooms, staff and ambience. Our first birding guide, Steven, was amazing, tailoring our tour to be fully accessible so I could participate using my rollator walker.
We then were taken to the Trogon Lodge by another great friendly driver. Wonderful comfortable rooms and an amazing place to spend time watching the variety of hummingbirds. Our guide, Carlos, kept in touch with his son, also a guide, looking for quetzals and we found our elusive Resplendent Quetzal due to Carlos's diligence. Trogon Lodge is a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Costa Rica.
Our final stop was Punta Leona on the Pacific Ocean, located in a lush rainforest, with an abundance of wildlife. Again excellent accommodations and good food. It's a good thing we spent 3 nights there because it did take us a day or so to orient ourselves to the vast Punta Leona community with its myriad of hotels and restaurants. Once we knew where everything was we explored to our hearts content, seeing many Scarlet Macaws and a beautiful Chestnut Mandible Toucan right outside our room. Nearby tours to the Tarcoles River and to Carara National Park were a great way to spend our last days in Costa Rica.
We really appreciated all the support My Costa Rica provided from the time we arrived until we left. Thank you for an amazing experience in Costa Rica. We highly recommend My Costa Rica.

I've been planning this trip since Pre-Covid so it was 3 years in the making.
From day one til even after my return home my Travel agents/Concierge Jason and Lorena have been nothing but amazing.
They customized my trip until I was completely satisfied and every detail of my itinerary explained.
Highly recommended
Thank you for a memorable experience

My husband and I have yet to go on our trip, but I just wanted to give a shout out already to this company. As other plans fell through, we ended up needing to book this trip fairly quickly and I can't express enough how fantastic Jason has been to work with so far with planning a fantastic itinerary. He responds back within an hour after every communication and has been super accommodating with some of the bumps along the way. The itinerary he has planned for us is absolutely perfect for what we were hoping for and it came together so quick! I couldn't recommend this company more as our planning experience has been so easy and stress free! I can't wait to go on this adventure!

My Costa Rica was great in preparing plans for me and my sister's trip to Costa Rica! Jason worked hard to find us the perfect deal and was open when we needed to make changes. When we wanted to add a day more of activities, he changed our itinerary without question until we were satisfied. I would thoroughly recommend My Costa Rica for any vacation in Costa Rica and would do it again!

This was our second time booking with Jason and MyCostaRica and we couldn't be happier. A custom travel itinerary was prepared and re-configured (a few times) to meet our needs and based on our own research. They were very responsive with changes made and adjustments and questions answered right away, even on the weekends. When the dates didn't work out and we had to rework the entire trip, we had a newly updated itinerary with rooms on hold within 24 hours. I can't say enough about how friendly, responsive, and accommodating the team at MyCostaRica was throughout our entire trip planning. Thank you Jason and team!

This was so easy and the customized itinerary was perfect for what we wanted out of our trip! Anyone looking to visit Costa Rica should utilize their service

We used My Costa Rica to book a 12-day tour and were extremely pleased with the package they put together, including resorts, excursions and drivers to take us from one place to another. Everything was handled quickly and smoothly. They're clearly very knowledgeable about Costa Rica. Most importantly, they were very responsive to any of our questions. Usually got back to us within minutes.

I was looking for a company to help coordinate and set up our pending trip to Costa Rica and I ended up finding My Costa Rica. I read multiple reviews and was excited after reading them to begin the process with My Costa Rica. I received a call from Jason after submitting my email and from that point on, Jason worked on our itinerary for the trip and got all that we wanted to do within the budget we set forth. Jason is so thorough and worked very hard to make sure our trip is going to be the best trip ever. I would highly recommend My Costa Rica and ask for Jason; he will make your dreams come true!

I highly recommend MyCostaRica.org to anyone looking for an agency to help plan their trip to Costa Rica. Working with Jason, Lorena and their team was absolutely phenomenal. From the first conversation with Jason, I could tell he cares about the traveler's overall experience, and strives for their time in Costa Rica to be perfect.
I contacted the company by submitting a questionnaire on their site, and received an immediate response. That remained the mode of communication throughout the entire time working with them. They are extremely responsive, detail oriented, kind, and provide exceptional customer service. MyCostaRica.org surpassed my expectations; I tend to set the bar high.
If it were not for their guidance in curating an amazing itinerary, planning a trip with 13 guests for my mom's birthday would have been challenging. They gave suggestions, but were completely open to building an itinerary that included our own ideas. We chose to go with the itinerary they curated, and they did not disappoint. I have never worked with a team of people who are so polite, kind, caring and extremely accommodating. PLEASE USE MYCOSTARICA.ORG if you are searching for a company to assist you with your trip. I thank them for the fabulous trip that we had, and plan to return to Costa Rica in the near future. I will absolutely work with MyCostaRica.org again. A million thank you to the entire MyCostaRica.org Team!!!

We just came back from our amazing 9 day family trip to Costa Rica. We visited Arenal and Guanacaste. Our favorite part of our trip was the hot springs at Tabacon! Everything was seamlessly planned and coordinated by Lorraine and her team. All the pick ups and drop offs were always on time and we had nothing to worry about during our entire time there. If we had any questions along the way, we simply sent a text message through WhatsApp and we received prompt responses all the time. My Costa Rica also made all our dinner reservations in advance for us at the all inclusive resort during a very busy travel week. Very professional and easy to work with!

Informative, accommodating, patient in a nut shell. I decided to change up the itinerary and dates and they got it done and did not even blink. We leave in 2 wks !

The hotels, hot springs, beach location, itinerary exceeded out expectations. Lorraine and the Costa Rica.org team were very responsive and accommodating in helping us modify out itinerary to account for unexpected travel related issue. We sincerely appreciated all they did to ensure we were able to have a wonderful first trip to Costa Rica and celebrate our 26 year wedding anniversary. We would highly recommend them to others!

We planned a customized 11-day trip around Costa Rica for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. Evaluated several booking agencies but decided in the end for MyCostaRica due to following reasons: Jason planned exactly how we wanted the trip to be, read our emails thoroughly, answered to our numerous requests quickly and came with very helpful advices. Overall very organized and structured planning, if our trip will be alike then it will be the holiday of our lifetime! Thanks a lot!

My Costa Rica came highly recommended from a friend. I've never used an agency like this, but WOW! Absolutely no work for me except to let them know my interests. They took care of EVERYTHING! It was amazingly. From transportation, to lodging, to tours! All I had to do was be in the right spot at the right time.
They know all the fight questions to ask to show you the beauty of Costa Rica. I would DEFINITELY use them again!
Arenal Volcano from our hotel balcony at Las Lagos Resort. This resort is FANTASTIC! Great accommodations and the hot springs were fabulous! I would go back here in a heartbeat.
La Paz Waterfall Gardens is stunning! Plants, animals birds and waterfalls! Just magical!
Manuel Antonio National Al Park was awesome! We saw so many sloths! We saw bats, snakes, monkeys and black iguanas!

I can wholeheartedly say that our 1-week vacation to Costa Rica was the most beautiful vacation we've had in a very long time. The MyCostaRica.org team genuinely curated the most amazing experiences for us.
It started with listening to our desires, and through several iterations they selected perfectly scheduled tours, experiences, and stays at incredible hotels for the entire one-week trip. Since this was our first trip to Costa Rica, Jason recommended visiting Arenal volcano and then Manuel Antonio.
Everything flowed perfectly from the moment we landed in San Jose, and we were met by Maureen who gave us the overview for our trip and provided useful information, to our stay at Hotel Presidente and the drive to Arenal the next day while visiting Poas Volcano, Doka Coffee Plantation, and La Paz Gardens.
We were in awe of the flora, fauna, and genuine Costa Rican spirit of Pura Vida from the moment we landed until the day we left to go home. Everyone who was our guide or driver was courteous, knowledgeable, kind, and genuine. Our drivers told us about history, geography, flora, fauna, and went out of their way to make us comfortable the entire trip. We felt as if we were part of their family the entire time.
Lorena and her team made sure all the details of our scheduling and adjusting were seamless. They stayed in touch with us once in Costa Rica via WhatsApp and via email to ensure all is going according to plan and we are enjoying ourselves asking if there's anything else they can do for us.
Talk about service! MyCostaRica.org defines perfection, genuine service, knowledge, and value. I highly recommend them for anyone planning to visit Costa Rica.
Thank you for everything! When we'll return, we will count with you again!
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.
