After telling our friends that John Vargas meticulously planned us the best vacation ever, I decided to post for others. We’ve been home for awhile and we haven’t stopped marvelling about it…two weeks of bliss is how my husband put it. We’ve been on many holidays and cruises around the world, but none compare. How could John know that the properties he booked would be perfect? The answer is that the people at Costa Rica Escapes have vetted all their properties to ensure they are right for their clients. It was the same with our transportation. We travelled to six different locations across the country, and our drivers were always on time. They were also knowledgeable about each area, which made the transfers feel more like excursions. The itinerary and the custom tours that John booked allowed us to enjoy so many special places, while never feeling rushed. I can’t imagine trying to plan anything like this without John and Costa Rica Escapes. We can’t wait to contact them again for another adventure.

Costa Rica Escape created an itinerary for 10 of us that was the most amazing trip I’ve been on, which included waterfall repelling, river-raft trip, beach excision, and so many other opportunities to see different places in the country. John created the perfect mix of experiences and relaxation. The hotels, transportation, and excursions exceeded our expectations. I would absolutely recommend, and use again, their expertise for an incredible adventure.

John at Costa Rica Escapes was absolutely amazing to work with. From the initial contact through the completion of our trip, he was always attentive and able to accommodate our requests. He worked within our budget to customize an incredible adventure for our family of four. The planning was impeccable, the lodging was beautiful, the transportation and tour companies were exceptionally professional and provided interesting and educational experiences for all of us! Even when we encountered travel difficulties that caused us to lose out on the first day and a half of our vacation (thanks Delta Airlines for delaying, cancelling, and rescheduling our flights AND losing our luggage!!!), John was always a phone call, text, or email away to help us reschedule our transportation and excursions. If you are considering a trip to Costa Rica, I 100% recommend working with Costa Rica Escapes. You will not be disappointed. Pura Vida!

John and the CRE team curated an amazing Costa Rica experience for our family. Not an easy task - we had 11 people ranging in age from 6 to 78 with different levels of ability and dietary restrictions and a desire to see multiple aspects/regions of Costa Rica in 7 days! He truly listened to our needs/wants and delivered one of the most memorable vacations of our lives. Every tour, guide, driver, van, accommodation was fantastic. I will definitely use Costa Rica Escapes for our next trip to CR and highly recommend them to anyone else who wants to experience the REAL Costa Rica. 🇨🇷

Costa Rica Escapes planned THE BEST vacation for our group of 6 people (3 couples) in October 2023. We worked from the west side to the east side and every place was better than the last - it was truly the best vacation of my life! All of the staff we met for all of our activities were professional, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. The drivers who brought us from place to place were knowledgeable, thoughtful, and punctual. We felt confident, safe, and organized throughout the entire trip thanks to Costa Rica Escapes’ careful planning, and they enabled us to have a jam packed, exciting vacation without the stress of figuring everything out yourself! I HIGHLY recommend Costa Rica Escapes and would happily rebook with them for another trip!!
