Aloha Mercedes, Henry and staff
It’s hard to put into words how much we appreciate all the effort you put into making our trip in Costa Rica the very best. From the time you greeted us at the airport we were treated like royalty! Henry was a great driver. We were amazed that he would be our driver throughout the whole trip. It was very comforting to know that he was coming to take us to our next destination. He was always very prompt, courteous and professional. It all comes down to the fact that you made us feel like your friends and we hope to see you (friend) again soon. We have been in the travel business for many years and know a good thing when we see it and especially when we experience it for ourselves. We would not think twice about recommending you to all our family, friends and travel clients anytime they want a reputable transportation/tour company in Costa Rica!
Again thank you so much and “Pura Vida” always!
Your friends always,
The Unruh’s (Bill, Lorrie, Christopher and Megan)Mercedes, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful experience it was to visit Costa Rica and I wanted to thank you for your excellent choices of hotels conveniently located in the best spots. The convenient airport transfers alleviated much of the usual airport hassles and the intra-country transfers by Transtobella were efficient, comfortable, and allowed for great sight-seeing from their big window vans. I especially liked the door-to-door pick-up and delivery (on-time as well). Thanks for a great time. I will tell all my friends about your agency. I highly recommend you! I loved Costa Rica!
Until next time, Tim RobinsonDear Mercedes:
Thank you so much for the nice polo shirts. We really liked then and they look so good on us. I want to thank you so much for all your efforts. Our trip could not have been more perfect. We loved both hotels. The town of La Fortuna was exactly what we were looking for. We took a canopy tour, the tour to the waterfall and the ATV adventures and as you said it was the best we have excellent pictures to show to our friends. I will be back and I will book my next tour with you. Again I thank you so much.
Sincerely, Ginger Mackenzie- We had the best time of our life's. It was like a second honeymoon, it was perfect, and Costa Ricans are very friendly. The food served at all hotels was superb. We also discovered some excellent local restaurants on our own with great dinner and service.
The honeymooners - We have travel around the world with many travel agencies, but Costa Rica Delights since the beginning understand our needs and reserve the exact hotels and spots we ask for, you guys are great and the efficiency in answer at any time by mail, by messenger and by phone (sorry for call you so many times) Congratulations... you are great. Tell Henry we miss him and the kids too.

Carrington FamilyLast summer, I decided to travel by myself, from a long time I wanted to visit Costa Rica, when in a blog someone recommend Costa Rica Delights I start checking its website and I found what I need a division that handle groups and a person that will take care of me at any time. I meet amazing people on that trip and we start an amazing friendship. Thanks Mercedes you and your staff are the best, the pick up at the airport and Erick as our guide was great.
