Costa Rica Vacation Review: Monteverde, Kayaking, Hiking, 10 Nights

Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic to work with in planning our trip. He was patient, answering all of our questions and tweaking the itinerary to fit our needs. The travel company made the trip easy for us with transfers along the way, excellent guides, information on what to expect, and a packing list. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Costa Rica Travel Review: Tamarindo, Chocolate Tour, Estuary Experience, 1-Week Trip

Zicasso’s travel specialists pulled off the impossible! They took all of our, admittedly unreasonable, requests and fashioned a fantastic winter getaway vacation. We did not spend too much time in the car, it was not too hot or too humid, and we got a mix of mountains and beach, all at lovely, tranquil, spacious hotels. Both venues had the right mix of activities and downtime, all at the right price point.

Costa Rica Tour Review: Drake Bay, Puerto Jimenez, Wildlife, Beach, 10 Days

We booked late and were impressed with what Zicasso’s travel company was able to put together on short notice.

We stayed at two totally different hotels, both wonderful. Our hotel near Drake Bay was in an amazing location, with breathtaking views. The staff was fantastic and the home-cooked meals were wonderful. The room was comfortable, but small, all you needed, nothing more. More spacious rooms were available; we just booked too late and wanted to stick to a budget. Getting to Drake Bay certainly required some effort, but it was well worth it. One day, we did not go on an excursion and had the entire beach to ourselves, how amazing.

From Drake Bay, we traveled to Puerto Jiménez, which was also a journey, but again, well worth it. The travel company booked us at our hotel in Puerto Jiménez, a hidden gem. We had great excursions, saw lots of wildlife, and met some wonderful people. Here too, the staff was great. We had an amazing time, when can we go back?

Thank you to the travel company for putting a great trip together.
