Reviews of Casa Travel & Technologies

"We are basking in the after glow of Costa Rica! It was a great experience discovering this beautiful country and we are so grateful for your guidance and planning in what was a great adventure! The Parador was so amazing with stunning views and the room upgrade was a great surprise. The National Park was wonderful and our guide was the best and got some great pictures for us through is scope just like you said. We jet skied and parasailed on the beach and we went on a sunset catamaran cruise and had a special Easter celebration at a beautiful catholic mass in Quepos. El Silencio was MAGICAL and the perfect wind down to our trip. I’m glad we saved the zip lining for El Silencio as it was truly an amazing experience to fly through the cloud forest! The kids loved the waterfalls and we took advantage of the complimentary yoga and archery. It was the perfect family adventure and love the memories we made! Pura Vida!" - Gina C.
