We Needed an Eco-Escape
Anywhere.com was extremely helpful in planning our large family reunion vacation to Costa Rica. This was the eco-escape our family needed!
The BEST family reunion vacation ever!
We were a large group of 9 traveling to Costa Rica for the first time. Our two families, four cousins, and grandparents were coming from both coasts of the US, and this was *the* family reunion vacation for the books. Anywhere.com was extremely helpful in planning this trip to Costa Rica. They were professional, flexible, and knowledgeable. They were always responsive to our requests in a very timely manner. We spent 8 wonderful days in the land of Pura Vida, and we all can’t wait to visit again.
The stories we can tell from this trip…
Our favorite part of the trip was the sky tram tour and the hanging bridges that followed. It was family-friendly and doable for the kids and my parents. The children enjoyed the ziplines immensely! It wasn't something they could experience often. It looked scary but I’m glad I gave it a try. The views from the hanging bridge were simply amazing.
Relaxing days by the beach…
We spent the last 4 days in Manuel Antonio at Hotel Costa Verde. The views from the balcony gave us a great look at the ocean. The kids took surfing lessons and we enjoyed a slow pace by the beach. Working and planning with Anywhere.com was a wonderful cooperative experience. Katia and others were sensitive to our needs and flexible when we needed to make last-minute changes. Our trip to Costa Rica was near perfect.

A great destination for families, there’s something for everyone whether you have young children or college-bound teens.

Alajuela & SJO Airport
Alajuela, nicknamed City of the Mangoes, is one of the most important cities in Costa Rica. It is the capital city of the providence bearing its name and is located just 11 miles northwest (17 km) of San Jose. Just outside of town is where you'll find the Juan Santamaria International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Juan Santamaria), Costa Rica's principal airport.
Moments to look forward to
Manuel Antonio National Park
Created in 1972 to preserve the richness of the forest and the idyllic beaches, Manuel Antonio is home to many of Costa Rica's endangered species. Don't let the size fool you, the smallest of Costa Rica's National Parks, which encompasses almost 1,700 acres of land (683 terrestrial hectares) and 136,000 acres of ocean (55,000 marine hectares), is regarded as one of its best.
