Andaz Costa Rica Resort

Costa Rica is a stunning country: in terms of its people, who are so warm and welcoming; its ethical basis and its phenomenal wildlife. Snorkelling at Cano Island was truly memorable as was having toucans feet away at La Paloma. We are so pleased we added on a partial transit of The Panamá Canal: the experience was one we shall never forget. The other think to mention is that Kathryn organised the tour exactly the right way round.: we met others who had done it differently and they regretted doing so.

Everything felt "easy" and stress free. The most memorable aspect was driving through fantastic scenery, so much to see!

AF, Cardiff

GW, Winchester

MBW, London

Highlight: Seeing the wildlife in Costa Rica. There are so many beautiful birds and amazing animals that it's hard not to see them. The guides were exceptional, especially William and Carlos and not only found the wildlife but also told us about other aspects of the countries. I particularly enjoyed having the private tours and we would do that again.

JW, Weymouth

Most memorable experiences: Waterfall rapelling at el remanso, the internal flights on tiny planes, everything was good

SM, Knaresborough

Costa Rica is too beautiful to miss!

PC, Moreton-in-Marsh

We always ask each other what the highlight was, but always fail.  It was really the variety.  There is really so much to remember.

JS, Bath

Highlight? We did a night hike in Monteverde and saw snakes, sloths, owls.

SW, London

Most Memorable Moment?: There are a few but being so close to wildlife during the journey was amazing!!!

JW, London

Great mix of high adrenaline and chilled activities to suit all the family.

JS, London

Highlights “Our overall impression was how lovely all the people were that we met, amazing wildlife and very good food. Our most memorable experience was probably kayaking at Tortuguero although we also did a very good night walk when we were staying at Arenal, and spotted loads of frogs, toads, snakes and spiders.”

JP, Newtown

Most memorable experience: “Very difficult to be specific but an eclectic selection would include:- Boat trip excursion with excellent guide from Tortuga Lodge; Singer/Musician at Dinner at Arenal Nayara Hotel; Crossing Arenal Lake (clear blue skies and we were the only passengers on the boat) and then scenic drive to Monteverde”

VB, Sloane Sqaure

Costa Rica with Journey Latin America is one of the best holidays we have ever had, if not the best.

MD, Southam

So hard to pick out an individually memorable part. If pushed then we would have to select the two river wildlife trips (Tortuguero and Cano Negro) and overall the friendly nature of everyone that we had dealings with. Also having the wildlife right on our doorstep at each accommodation was very special.

SY, Solihull

Highlights?: Seeing the Quetzal with Carlos; finding the MotMot on our own at La Quinta; seeing the Eyelash Pit Viper on the Hanging Bridges trip; all of the 5 days with Esteban and Alberto were brilliant (and my husband seeing the Roseate Spoonbill and Jabiru at Palo Verde - I loved the Fiery Aricaris a few feet in front of us at Rio Magnolia). In all we saw 234 species of birds.

MCB, Stockport

Most memorable experiences: White water rafting. Watching the turtles at Tortuguero. Everything about Montverde.

RA, Lichfield

Costa Rica lived up to our expectations in every way. We all had a fantastic family holiday.

EJ, London

Highlights:- The wildlife in Costa Rica is incredible and it is everywhere you go and very immediate.  Add to that beautiful scenery and very friendly people and it is a great holiday destination.

MJ, E14

Highlights?: There were so many. Seeing a toucan land in the tree just by our room at El Remanso. Walking down the trail at Monteverde Lodge and a beautiful Morpho butterfly fluttering past in the sunlight. The boat ride at Tortuguero.

KS, Uxbridge

Highlights: Monkeys and macaws on the trees by our bedroom ,and the White water rafting to and from Pacuare Lodge and swimming down the river!

JB, Ashford

So many - sloths close up, wild monkeys eating coconuts from our hand, finding a snake in Falls resort, zipwiring in Arenal, canoeing to old Costa Rican farmhouse, night walks in Monteverde, whale and dolphin watching on my birthday in Manuel Antonio, birdwatching in Tortuguero, massive iguanas in Mawamba, walking home from dinner in a massive downpour in Manuel Antonio, watching toucans and armadillo in Monteverde. 

JS, Amersham

Highlights:- Hard to choose, but the noises and sounds surrounding us all day and night, created by all the wildlife was fantastic.  Never heard anything like it and loved it.  The Costa Rican hospitability is something to live up to they have it right!

ST, Swords

Everything was amazing...This is the best family holiday we have ever had. Even our 20 year old daughter, who has travelled extensively, agreed that Costa Rica is wonderfully unique. The itinerary provided by Joirney Latin America provided a varied and interestingly diverse view of the country. Each accommodation was memorable and contributed towards an amazing trip. Thank you.

RW, Cheltenham

We had a really exceptional trip.  The mix of beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife made it a real adventure and yet the logistics made it achievable and stress free. Costa Rica has beaches, wildlife and lots of outdoor fun (zip lines, rafting, and ATV trails for example) which make it ideal for a holiday which met the desires of all the family.

GP, Warwick

Clearly the beauty and and profuseness of the country was inspiring.There were multiple highlights including some which we ourselves arranged, chocolate and vanilla farm visits especially.

DS, Cardigan

The whole Tortuguero experience was brilliant.

TK, Leighton buzzard

Highlight?: Tortoguero without a doubt-felt truly isolate in the rain forest and it was breathtaking in terms of the biodiversity.

SW, Surbiton

Everything was organised like clockwork but without feeling intrusive.  The whole itinerary fully met our needs with fabulous hotels and some really exiting journeys.  The flight from Punta Islita being a particular highlight, along with the journey from Arenal to MonteVerde.  Costa Rica with Journey Latin America is one of the best holidays we have ever had, if not the best.  Thank you and particularly to Hannah.”
