Testimonials

We want you to have as wonderful of a time as these satisfied customers...

"Jorge, I just want to thank you for all your help arranging our trip for us. Costa Rica is an amazing and beautiful country. The four of us had an awesome time for such a short trip. The hotels were all beautiful and their staff were very accomodating and friendly. I loved how each of them were different but had their own unique charm. We met such great and warm local people. Our trip was packed with different kinds of adventure, and enjoyed everyone of them (white water rafting, surfing, and zip-lining). Our transportation was fabulous and what a great learning experience. Eddo and Gonzago were great guides. Thanks again. I will definitely try to come back and visit again. - Janice Makasiar

"Just wanted to thank you both so much for all your help setting up our trip to Costa Rica. The lodging you chose for us was perfect, and the tours were excellent. Everything you set up for us went off without a hitch, making it a worry-free vacation. Thank you!" - C. Burke, California

"Just wanted to say thanks for organizing a fantastic trip for Ben and me. It exceeded our expectations and was unbelievably organized. We really appreciate your time and effort!" - C. Yorker, Virginia

Jorge, well, all the preparations, anticipations, and realities are now memories....and what memories they are! Karen and I cannot thank you enough. Must say though, Peace Lodge spoiled us... WOW! Again, thanks so much for all your patience and efforts! - George and Terry, May 2006

Jorge, I want to thank you for all of the help you have given me over the last year. I appreciate your patience, advice, prompt replies and willingness to help in any way you could. If I was left to make all of the arrangements myself, I would have been lost and very stressed. You made the arrangements an easy and enjoyable process. All of our wedding guests mentioned how easy it was to work with you and how pleasant you were to speak with. You have done an outstanding job for us. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! - Bridget Wade, May 2006 Wedding at Villa Caletas

"Our Costa Rican vacation was the best ever. My kids were crying because they didn't want to leave. I am so glad I contacted you because you added immensely to the total experience. The fast response and helpful information you initially provided convinced me to use your service. You gave me all the information I needed. We had absolutely no problems from start to finish. The rental vehicle and hotel accommodations were first rate. We did everything we had planned on doing in the country and I also got a lot of surfing in. I will definitely be going back. For the first time to Costa Rica I would highly recommend a travel agency to anyone and I don't think I could have found a better one than 2Costa Rica Travel. Your overall service was numero uno. Thank you Jorge for helping make this such a memorable experience for me and my family. Pura Vida. sincerely." - Tim Brooks

"We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed every moment. You guys were great - and I've worked with several travel agents on various trips to CR and you were far above any of them. At first, I worried that you would be just surf oriented but the attention to detail made the trip amazingly smooth." - Cristina Fernandez McQuistion & family

"Lindsay and I discovered Todd Cutter through our wedding coordinator only a short time before our wedding and honeymoon in Costa Rica. We were having trouble getting all of our needs (travel, hotel, activities) taken care of with our first contact (our wedding coordinator). I only wish we had discovered Todd from day one. Since this was our wedding and many of our friends & family were involved we wanted everything to be perfect and demanded a very high level of service. He took immediately actions to help us get all critical accommodations reserved. Then over many emails and phone calls he customized our itinerary to meet our personal needs. We know when traveling abroad there is always going to be unexpected problems that arise but with his efforts and planning he kept them to the bare minimum. Also throughout our trip I only heard complements from our guest who used Todd for the travel arrangements. When we plan our next trip to Costa Rica, the first call we make will be to Todd. Thank you," - Matthew & Lindsay Thomas

"This is Caroline (and Naomi, Miriam, and Blair). We just got back from Costa Rica and let me tell you we were so sad to leave. We had the best time ever! Thanks so much for arranging such an awesome package for us! We especially had fun with the surfing lessons and your friends were so nice to us." - Caroline Keating, Naomi and Miriam Ufberg, Blair Shapiro

"Would surely recommend you to any and all I know who wish to travel to your wonderful country. We had a great time and everything worked out perfectly, really better than we expected. No one could believe the itinerary that we were able to secure less than one week before leaving. I told everyone that it was all Jorge at 2Costa Rica Travel. I've worked with a lot of travel agents all around the world, and few if any can compete with you in terms of thoroughness, resourcefulness, courtesy or value. In my book, you get top marks all around. Thank you so much." - Matt Gordon, New York

"I just wanted to thank you so much for coordinating our vacation to Costa Rica. We had an absolutely amazing time. Everything was so well planned and put together. I remember reading from one of your other customers that "it was like someone was going ahead of us to make sure everything fell into place". We'd get to a hotel and they were expecting us, the tours were all right on time, the directions were great, etc. You and your company did a fine job for us and I would be happy to recommend you to anyone." - Heidi Lapham, California

"Jorge was really good. His first suggestion probably had the most consistent surf at my time of year but once I explained my age and surfing style he absolutely made the perfect suggestions for destinations. The places were off the "beaten path" but perfect for a more mellow situation in and out of the water. I booked the entire trip via e-mail and got everything within 24 hours. Very satisfied with the service. I would definitely book with 2Costa Rica Travel again and I will recommend your agency with anyone that I know is traveling your way. Thanks again for everything it was a vacation of a life time and I can't wait to get back!" - John Land, New York

"The arrangements you made for us -both the ones we asked for and the ones you recommended- were perfect. We had absolutely no difficulties at all. Due to your precise directions we didn't even get lost - not once. Your recommendations and the arrangements you made for us were flawless! The restaurants you suggested were everything you said they'd be. The hotels were great. The kids were delighted with the beaches you suggested for surfing. Everything went without a hitch. If we travel to Costa Rica again, and I'm sure we will, we'll surely use Alacran. We couldn't be happier with what Alacran did for our trip and we're not a family that's easily impressed." - Phil Tierney, California

"Todd/2Costa Rica Travel, just wanted to thank you guys for everything you did to make my trip to Costa one of my best ever. Everything that you guys provided and suggested was top notch from the Backyard hotel to the chicken place in Orotina (blew the one in Jaco out of the water). I can't say thank you guys enough for taking care of the small things that one doesn't have time for when planning a vacation, ie.. choosing a car rental, directions, where to eat, etc. Todd, just want to thank you again, if it wasn't for your great customer service on ALL aspects I wouldn't have had half a nice of time." - Greg LaMarca, New York

"How can I thank you both enough??! Our trip was amazing! Really, everything we could have hoped for in a honeymoon. Todd-Thank you so much for all of the time that you put into helping us to plan the perfect itinerary with the most romantic hotels. The endless emails were worth it. Jorge, all of your support leading up to the trip and your help during the trip was invaluable. Thanks to both of you fro helping our friends and parents to plan the massage and champagne surprises. Your directions, dinner suggestions and helpful tips were amazing. We really felt like ewe were taken care of. We will certainly recommend you to anyone traveling to your beautiful country and when we return (which we will) you will hear from us! Please see Jorge's original email below for our completed survey. We wish you lots of success! Best wishes." - Gayle and David Schrieber

"Thank you so much for all of the work you did in arranging our
accommodations for our recent trip to Costa Rica. Everything from the driving directions to the follow up welcome message was wonderful. My wife and I have traveled fairly extensively I can honestly say that this was the best experience we've ever had. If you ever need a recommendation, feel free to use my name and if anyone ever asks me about planning a trip to your neck of the woods, I'll be sure to refer them to your company." - Bryce Nihill

"We had an absolutely wonderful time in Costa Rica. I am so grateful to all of you at 2Costa Rica Travel for the delightful trip you helped us plan. Our stay at the Bal del Mar was absolutely fabulous -- what a delightful little hotel with a perfect staff. We couldn't have been more pleased and we are so looking forward to our next trip. Absolutely everything from the moment of our arrival and the private transfer to Jaco to our departure when returning our rental car was absolutely perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you; we will definitely be in touch with you as we finalize our plans for our next trip and we won't hesitate to recommend you all to anyone traveling to Costa Rica." - Margaret Wright

"Todd helped us out with everything we needed and he got back to me so quickly whenever we had questions. I asked tons of "stupid" questions and changed my plans and he always got back to me quickly and had a great attitude. It was awesome because it made planning a trip so much easier. I planned my first trip to Costa Rica without an agency and this time it was so much easier. I would use Alacran again and I would refer my friends to you also." - Darian C., California

"I just wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate how your business is run. 2Costa Rica Travel (Todd) has shown a true willingness to help us plan our trip and has been very courteous and friendly. I just got off the phone with Tico Travel attempting to find airline tickets. Not only were they rude and unhelpful, but they ended the call by telling me to go to their website instead of asking them questions. Thanks for making this fairly stressful adventure easy." - Dan Bruno

"The trip was insane from my viewpoint! Thanks for having everything arranged for us - the hospitality in CR is the best! As mentioned from the Del Sur, the crew was phenomenal in terms of customer service, the food was fantastic and the waves at Pavones, Rio Claro, Dominical & Playa Hermosa were fun - We surfed small Mato Palo & we could see the perfect set up there!" - Kyle Kinoshita, Hawaii

"Denise and I wanted to express our thanks and praise for your efforts in making our honeymoon an unforgettable time in our lives. We absolutely loved our entire stay in Costa Rica. Each hotel, resort, restaurant, and tour was fabulous. We especially loved the Makanda by the Sea, and the Tabacón Resort. Two perfect places for honeymoon couples. The itinerary you scheduled was an absolute perfect combination of relaxation, excitement, adventure, and fun. You did an outstanding job of showing us the diversity of the land, climate, and culture of Costa Rica. In our tales of the times we shared in Costa Rica, we will be sure to mention your tour group as being the way to see all that Costa Rica offers. Please feel free to list us in your file of references under very satisfied customers. And we look forward to the next time we go to Costa Rica, so you will get to plan our second honeymoon." - Kevin and Denise Cowell. Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

"Scored one of the best sessions I ever had at Playa Grande. 2Costa Rica Travel was key- from the surf spot descriptions, the directions, the reservations, right down to the rental car- everything was very easy. I will definitely recommend you to anyone going to Costa Rica. The phone call checking up on us was nice, we felt we at least had somebody who could help us out if we got into a jam." - C. Hopkins, New Jersey

"The things we wanted to see and do happened almost like someone was pushing buttons to make them happen. The accommodations were great. I'm definitely glad we had you put things together... I was always taught that a good performer leaves his audience wanting more -- you and Costa Rica put on a heck of a performance!" - B. Gum, Montana

"Thanks again for the great tips! You guys at 2Costa Rica Travel are really awesome! I have been very impressed and pleased with the personalized touch you add to your service" - S. Quinton, North Carolina

"Jorge, I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in Costa Rica! All the reservations that you made for us worked perfectly as did the car rental. Mike and I were very happy with the job that you did for us making all the reservations and we will be using your service again!!!! If you ever need references for your business please feel free to use me as a reference. I was totally satisfied! Thanks for Everything Chris P.S. Mike and I will probally be returning to Costa Rica next year so you will be hearing from me maybe in October. - Chris
