I was impressed with the service and speed of Dennis in setting up my perfect honeymoon vacation. We planned a city (San Jose), mountain (Monteverde), and beach (Uvita) in Costa Rica and all went down without a hitch. The hotels that Dennis selected were perfect and customer-service oriented. The Grano de Oro Hotel (San Jose) was professional, quiet, and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast (casado) was delicious, along with a special dinner at the same restaurant. The El Establo Hotel (Monteverde) was also very organized. The Monteverde hotel scheduled us for an amazing night walk, and a wondrous hanging bridge hike. The private transfer drivers to each location were on-time and friendly. The biggest hangup to the vacation was getting there--we had a 10+ hour delay for our flight out of the U.S. Fortunately, the Whatsapp emergency line for GWA was fast, responsive, and accommodating. Dennis, Karla, and Mariana were all wonderful to help us keep on-schedule and in-contact with our hotels/drivers.

Through Bahia Aventuras, we snorkeled off the Cano island. We saw sea turtles, reef sharks, and even a pair of humpback whales!
