Just back from a 9 day trip to Costa Rica (Arenal/La Fortuna, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio). Loved the guidance that Serendipity Adventures provided us both before our travels (thanks Holden and Nancy )a we trip planned, and appreciated the support locally from Wilman while we were there. The entire experience was both spectacular and seamless, from the rental car agent meeting us at our hotel, to the various guides that met us as planned on the different parts and locations of our amazing adventures (wildlife, ziplines, thermal baths, coffee plantations, and Pacific beach time to name a few). We appreciated having the peace of mind of a local contact for the trip as questions arose, as well as an after hours emergency contact number as well (which thankfully we did not have to use). The trip itinerary was detailed, and very easy to follow, and allowed us flexibility as we self drove from various parts of the country. Pure Vida ! Thank you!

Edwardo and Luis were amazing rafting guides, chefs, and company. I felt so safe as we rafting down the rivers enjoying beautiful sceneries, lots of wildlife and a cool hike to a swimming hole. The guides were very knowledgable and competent in their abilities to lead our group. They made us delicious meals as we arrived at the lodge for the evening.

The team did an amazing job helping us with a fantastic experience. We spent three nights in Monteverde and seven nights in Nosara. Monteverde and the Cloud Forest was unlike anything I have ever seen before. We spent a few days hiking, ziplining and learning how chocolate and coffee is made. I personally loved the cloud forest. My wife loved the chocolate and coffee experience. The kids favorite was the night hike and zip lining. The hotel recommendation was very unique. With nine buildings stretching from the bottom of the mountain to the top, the resort felt like it was in the rain forest. Our room was at the very top of the mountain providing us with wonderful views of the golf of Nicoya.

We initially hesitated on planning a trip to Costa Rica. With four young kids, I was concerned that we would have challenges traveling between the airport and differing locations. For those that haven't been to CR, the roads can be a challenge. Gustavo connected us with Ride CR. This took all of the stress out of our trip. I would highly recommend using Ride CR if you are planning to move around the country with smaller kids.

Jessica was wonderful. She helped us schedule all the tours and activities. I really appreciated her responsiveness and ability to accommodate late changes that were needed. I was super surprised at how easy KimKim made this. I would 100% use this group again.

Hotel Review
El Establo Mountain Hotel
Monteverde

Such a unique hotel. The grounds are beautiful. The staff are wonderful. Our room was at the top of the mountain. It is easily a 20 minute walk. The shuttles made getting around the hotel super easy. I would recommend staying as high up as possible. You get a good view and a bit more of a breeze. I can't say enough about the staff. My daughter tripped and was injured and required stiches. The hotel staff offered to have a doctor visit the hotel to have her treated. They could not have been nicer. I would definitely stay here again.
