Hola Marsha,
Well me and my friends are back from our trip and we wanted to express to
you how much we appreciated working with GetToCostaRica.com.
During our trip, my friends and I kept saying to each other, "This is the
best trip we’ve taken together so far." A large reason was because of you
guys at GetToCostaRica.com!
Transportation: Every driver/company that picked us up was very punctual.
We were on vacation so we obviously were bound to be late a few times so
we occasionally received calls in our room and the driver for Pure Trek
even found us in the restaurant at Arenal Paraiso! Despite our tardiness,
we always received excellent service.
Felipe!!: He drove us from San Jose to Arenal, took us on the Poas
Volcano Tour, drove us back from Tamarindo to San Jose, and took us to
the airport on our last day. He was very instrumental in setting the
positive tone for our trip. Me and my 3 friends are college-educated,
inquisitive, and fun, young women. We bombarded him with questions
ranging from Costa Rican economics, culture and education to where to go
out at night and what the best local beers are. He was very easy to talk
to, well spoken and answered all of our questions. My friends and I just
wanted to make special mention of him because he enhanced our vacation
with his friendly demeanor and all the interesting facts he had to share
with us about Costa Rica!
All the tour companies we did our activities through were excellent!
Sky Trek/Canyoning was especially exciting for us because Desitinos, CNN
en Espanol, was doing a feature on Canyoning and our friend Patricia was
interviewed and they took footage of us getting on the Tram as well as
our beginning lines! All the workers at Sky Trek were friendly and clear
about the instructions so we had a great time.
Pure Trek was also very enjoyable and the tourguides again were friendly,
worked well together and expeditiously to get us through the 5 rappels
safely.
Tabacon Hot Springs was perfect for us! We loved the beautiful resort and
the hot springs were phenomenal! We actually made friends with a family
from Miami (a couple and their 3 sons) earlier in the day during the
Canyoning and they happen to be on the same tour bus we took to Tabacon
later that night.
I would like to acknowledge the scuba company at El Diria. This was my
first time diving and it was scary! The instructor was excellent and even
though I thought I was too scared to go, he patiently waited for me, held
my hand and waited for me to become comfortable and it was one of the
best experiences I’ve ever had!
The hotels were all exceptional! We loved them all. Sleep Inn was very
clean, spacious, and had a great staff! Arenal Paraiso was beautiful and
the bungalos were so cute! El Diria was our favorite! The Sunset Rooms
walk out onto the garden and we all got massages there about 10 meters
outside of our patio. We couldn’t have asked for better.
We all would gladly refer your company to our friends and family and as
we tell our vacation stories and show our pictures to people, they all
ask us about GTCR and we only say wonderful things about your company.
Pura Vida!
Thank you again,
Las Chinitas (Christine Almojuela, Winnie Corsa, Patricia Liu, & Tirareza
