Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our agent at this travel company was just fantastic. Our dealings with him were highly professional, well organised, with instant reponses and follow up that went far and beyond the normal expectation. He contacted us constantly to check everything was okay and gave us a huge amount of information and recommendations on the areas and hotels we visited. He managed changes to our itinerary due to flight changes with swift responses.
He was also instrumental in organising and booking our tour of CUBA and we were extremely happy with his dealing with the local tour operator and advice on places to visit and itinerary. Without his help and knowledge we would have found this extremely frustrating. We organised this tour through this company because we had confidence and trust after the excellent job they did for Costa Rica.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

COSTA RICA

The hotel in San Jose - a beautiful colonial boutique hotel
Lunch at an Italian restaurant called Sapore in San Jose
The Tabacon Hotel and springs was outstanding and worth paying a little extra for.
Zip lining and trek in Arenal National Park 'amazing'
Manuel Antonio national park was fantastic - sloths and 3 different types of monkeys. Catamaran cruise and dolphin watching.

CUBA

Everything about HAVANA was a highlight
The street music in the square in Trinidad
The hotel in Trinidad
The beach at Varadero - White sand, clear aquamarine water

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would only stay one night in San Jose and spend longer at Manuel Antonio
Would not go to Santa Clara or Cienfuegos in CUBA and spend at least 3 nights at Varadero
