We used Caminatas Al chiripo to book our ascent to cero chiripo. They were excellent, it is very difficult to get reservations to do this in our experience.. these guys booked everything for us including the hotel Urán the night before. They answered all our questions quickly and even wanted us to message when we got to base camp and down again. Would recommend them to anyone.

Costa Rican vacations arranged everything according to my requests. My trip was customized specifically for me, and while there, I was well taken care of. Transportation was excellent with prompt and friendly drivers. I would definitely recommend them!

The food was plentiful and good. The service was lacking. Never checked back on us after the food was delivered. Another couple that was seated after us left as they were to slow. Staff friendly, maybe short on help?

We came here on a recommendation on our first day in Costa Rica. The food was super-sized and super delicious - could not finish! A local treasure. Erika was our gracious hostess and saw to our every need. We’ll be back!

Amazing experience. We did the Celeste Rainforest and Sloth tour. Everything was very well organized and our guide Esteban was excellent. We would highly recommend to people looking to experience the wildlife of Costa Rica.

We had a great day on our Rain forest tour today. Esteban and crew were amazing at helping us spot and get photos/videos of a variety of different creatures. Thanks a bunch for the neat adventure.

Our guide was divine and did a wonderful job! She was very knowledgeable and cared so much about nature. It was a real pleasure to see the sloths and learn more about the indigenous and non indigenous plants Costa Rica has. I had more time there I would have booked other trips to sit under her tutelage.

The lady who was our guide made the experience very enjoyable.
She truly loves the creatures and nature and gives passionate and easy-to-understand explanations in English.
And I was happy to see the sloths!

Steve (guide) and Joan (driver) were top notch guides. They were professional, knowledgeable, patient, safe, and funny. All of the experiences were fun, interacting and beautiful. Highly recommend!

The place is just magnificent! You have your own cabin with great breakfast (you can also add the 2 other meals), the staff is super helpful and sympathetic, the views from the higher cabins and the tower are marvelous, there are hummingbirds spots onsite with picnic tables and a roof, the Robledal hiking trail onsite is really peaceful, and you're close to Highway 2 that goes to San Jose so it's easy to come by bus. The chef makes great food inspired by his training with international chefs. Carlos Serrano is a passionate and highly qualified guide. I did 3 tours with him and it was super interesting. He helped us spot a ton of birds (for example quetzals) and visit the paramo (high mountain). Mariam at the reception has an answer for everything and is absolutely adorable. Cabins contain many blankets and heaters in order for you to be comfy at night as it can get very chilly in these high mountains (I wish I had brought more winter clothes!!!). Even outdoor foldable chairs were provided to admire the view from outside (with a cup of coffee you just made in hand). I prefered to just look at the sunset from the sofa :-) Will definitely go back!

The tour guide Steve and driver Juan were great. We felt comfortable and laughed throughout. Saw some tropical animals and a beautiful rainforest.

Alexia with Costa Rican Vacations helped us plan a wonderful spring break trip. Someone met us as soon as we got off the airplane and all of our transportation was arranged for us. The drivers were always on time to pick us up and were very kind and helpful. Alexia suggested some great excursion for our family (we loved the sloth tour and waterfall repelling!) We stayed at the Monteverde Lodge and then at The Springs. Both were wonderful!

Review of ILT Costa Rica

We used ILT for multiple private transfers from North to South across Costa Rica. Every interaction with them oozed professionalism & conveyed an unrivalled quality of service. Initial enquiry & booking via email was easy, responsive and confidence-building. Proactive confirmation of pick up time, location & contact numbers 2 days before each leg was reassuring. Every journey was provided on time, in an immaculate vehicle complete with on-board wifi and with an outstanding English speaking, engaging and safety conscious driver. Can't recommend this company highly enough, truly outstanding.

Our trip to Costa Rica was amazing thanks to the customized itinerary that Amanda made for us. We started out trying to plan our own trip but it was overwhelming. I had read good reviews for Amanda but to be honest I was a little leary about using a travel agent out of country but we are so glad that we did. Amanda organized everything. We told her what we were interested in doing and seeing and she took over. She was great to work with and very quick at responding. She planned all our hotels, transportation, excursions. Everything went well according to plan and we were pleased with all of her selections. She even sent us daily reminders to tell us what was coming up next. I would definately use her services again and highly recommend Amanda to plan your trip to Costa Rica.

Went for a wedding and decided to stay the night as it’s quite a drive from the city. Views are amazing and green areas are pretty. We stayed in a standard room and it was terrible. Low quality finishes, furniture, linen and in general decor. It has so much potential but the room felt like a shady motel. Bathroom was the worse. It looked old and dirty.

Pool was pretty large, not warm but great for getting in a couple of laps. Breakfast was included. Food was typical costarican and ok quality.
