From the moment we were connected with Elena from Serendipity Adventures in Costa Rica to plan our family vacation we knew we were in great hands. Elena and the team helped build us an itinerary which included all the adventures our family had in mind for our trip. She helped choose the perfect accommodations in each location which exceeded our family’s expectations. When our trip started we were picked up by Mariano who was patient, kind and professional. He also gave us great tips for our tours we had booked the next day with him. All of the tours started on time and all the transportation was comfortable and the guides who led the tours were knowledgeable and professional. We had a great driver who took us to Monteverde (Alex). He was very friendly and funny. He was great at giving us a lot of history and information about CR. He made the 3 hour trek seem short! He also took us to the Airport for our last day and he was extremely conscious of the time and made sure we ran on time. He is just a joy to learn from. Our favorite part of the trip was our tour of the national park in Manuel Antonio. The guide who led the tour was amazing and he had quite the eye to capture all the animals we encountered. Everyone communicated where to go, how to get picked up. It made the whole trip worry free. I was also able to communicate with Serendipity on WhatsApp if needed. We also enjoyed the catamaran and snorkeling! The lunch was delicious. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and having experienced travel agents help you make the whole experience worry free. Thank you to Elena, Mariano, Alex, faro travel and everyone else who made sure our family had the best experience. We will be back!

Hola Reena,

Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and detailed review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Reading your message truly made my day!

It means so much to know that from the very beginning you felt confident and well taken care of. Creating an itinerary that matched your family’s sense of adventure and seeing it come to life so smoothly is exactly what we aim for, so I’m absolutely delighted that everything exceeded your expectations.

I will be sure to share your kind words with Mariano and Alex—they will be so happy to hear how much you appreciated their care, knowledge, and great energy throughout your trip. I’ll also pass along your feedback to all the guides and our partners like Faro Travel. It takes a full team working together to create a seamless experience, and your recognition means a lot to all of us.
It sounds like you truly experienced the best of Costa Rica—from the wildlife in Manuel Antonio to the catamaran and snorkeling adventure (I’m so glad you enjoyed that lunch too!). Knowing that everything felt organized, smooth, and worry-free is the greatest reward for us.
Thank you again for trusting me and our team with such a special family trip. It would be an absolute pleasure to welcome you back and help you create another unforgettable adventure in Costa Rica!
