Our family trip to Costa Rica was absolutely incredible, and KimKim Travel and Serendipity Adventures, local travel specialist, delivered exceptional value every step of the way. They created a thoughtfully planned itinerary that was perfectly tailored to our family, saving us time, stress, and uncertainty while making the entire experience feel effortless. Bryan, Nancy and Adrian, among others at Serendipity Adventures, worked diligently to make sure everything ran smoothly and worry-free. A special shoutout to our private chef, Sarah, and his assistant, Natalia, whose delicious meals were one of the highlights of our stay at Casa Fantastica. Their food and warm hospitality made us feel completely at home. We had fantastic tour guides and drivers such as Alex our driver who was a wealth of local information. Brian at the Sunset Sailing Cruise made our sailing adventure so much fun with an excellent dinner and drinks. Tucanes Tours made our horseback riding adventure so much fun and we felt safe and well taken care of. The people at Villa Vanilla Spice Tour were so knowledgeable and the vanilla and other products we purchased were such high quality. Very informative tour. Champions Surf School made our surf lessons so much fun and we had a wonderful day at the beach. Casa Fantastica has a wonderful staff from the concierges, Carlos and Sarah, to the cleaning and laundry services people. Very professional and friendly. Again, Chef Sarah at Casa Fantastica was truly remarkable and really made our trip one to remember.

Hotel Review
Casa Fantastica

Our family trip to Costa Rica was truly one we will never forget, and Casa Fantastica played such a special part in making it so meaningful. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, relaxed, and cared for. Carlos and Sarah, the concierges on the property, were so helpful. The beauty of the home, the incredible views, and the peaceful surroundings gave us the perfect place to slow down and enjoy time together as a family. The cleaning staff, laundry staff and maintenance people were great and so attentive to our needs and requests. A huge part of what made our stay so memorable was Chef Sarah, and her assistant, Natalia. Sarah wasn't just an amazing chef, she became part of our experience. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to every detail made us feel like we were being cared for by a friend. Every meal was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Sitting around the table sharing those meals became some of our favorite moments of the entire trip. Casa Fantastica gave our family the gift of unforgettable memories, laughter, connection, and time together that we will always treasure. We are so grateful for the hospitality and care that went into making our stay extraordinary. Costa Rica will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we hope to return to Casa Fantastica again someday.

Sunset Sailing Cruise on the Brisa Elegante

This was a wonderful family activity. Sailing aboard a pirate ship in the ocean. What could be more fun. Brian on the staff made our time at sea an adventure and so much fun. We had a wonderful dinner and drinks. Took time out to enjoy the ocean snorkeling, or paddle boarding, or just lounging in the ocean with a pool noodle. We were also able to see dolphins swimming next to our boat. Highly recommend this experience.

I didn’t have to lift a finger in planning. Will definitely use KikKim again.

Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco
Monteverde

6 stars if I could. Beautiful grounds, fantastic food on site(breakfast buffet and restaurant), walkable to restaurants and a couple shops, friendly staff. Everything was above and beyond. Amazing views everywhere. Covered hot tub and pool so can be enjoyed when raining. Free marshmallows for the fire pit. Fun disco bathroom. I could go on and on. Whole family loved this place.

Hotel Costa Verde
Manuel Antonio

AC in rooms only works with a key that is welded to the room key so it can only be used while you’re in the room and it takes a good hour to cool down when you get back to the room - and that’s with all the fans on. I’m all for conserving energy but even keeping the room at 85° while we were out would have been wonderful to keep the humidity down and allow clothes/swimsuits to dry. The bathroom is never air conditioned. Imagine having an upset stomach in a humid 90° bathroom. Balcony and views were fantastic though and monkeys were everywhere which was fun. Food on the premises was just OK and expensive. Need to call a shuttle to get anywhere on the property or walk up hill on dangerous roads a distance. Staff was friendly and room was clean .

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort
La Fortuna

Friendly staff, great breakfast, clean rooms, fun hot springs pools, waterslide fun for kids. Ambiance was beautiful. Wish we could walk to other restaurants and shopping but that has nothing to do with the hotel, it’s common for the area I think. Uber was easy to use .

Whitewater Rafting on Naranjo River (Class III & IV)
Whitewater Rafting on Naranjo River (Class III & IV)
Costa Rica

Guide was amazing-he gauged the kind of experience we wanted and tailored the trip to that. For instance, we were more adventurous than the other raft that went with us so our guide made sure to get us fully in the rapids where the other guide was a little more subdued. Guide was very safe and knew the river well. No one fell out unless we wanted to. It was the perfect amount of heart-racing fun. Great pics to buy at the end for $40USD so no need for a waterproof camera. Lunch was typical Costa Rican fare at the end.

Love hearing this, and thank you for the detailed review! Poco a Poco in Monteverde is such a gem and a team favorite. Yes, exactly, not having to lift a finger is exactly what we're going for! We handle all the groundwork so you can enjoy your adventure! 🎉

Thank you for reviewing each individual hotel, as this gives future travelers insight into what to expect. Sorry to hear that Hotel Costa Verde was your least favorite and came with some hiccups with the AC and walkability! But so glad you got to be in nature and see all the monkeys! 🐒

I hope to see you on another KimKim adventure!

Next we went to Monteverde, we drove route with the new bridge. The view was worth it but make sure you have a 4x4 and check water levels at the rivers. We stayed at the Koora. I would go back to Montverde just to stay here. The staff here is the best I've met in all of my travels.
We ended our trip in Tamarindo for a few days of sun and relaxation. It was our first time having a close up look at Howler monkeys. We will be going back to Costa Rica!
