Reviews for Tailor made Costa Rica wildlife holiday
Barry Armstrong review 13 Dec 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
To be honest it was all good. Not so I tested in San Jose but after that everywhere we went was great. For me the OSA peninsula and Drake bay and in particular the lodge we stayed in was the highlight though.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Try and think and plan ahead for activities you want to do. Manual Antonio was nice although the hotel was very expensive. The key thing about this area to be prepared for lots of people. Numbers of people were considerably higher than anywhere else which gave the place a much more run of the mill tourist feel.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I like to think so but in reality it’s really very difficult to say. I guess the fact that we were there and paid for things benefits the local community but at the same time we must then have an impact on the environment, hopefully not to negative however.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Over all the holiday was 5 star. Yes there are things we would do differently in future and some of the accommodation or maybe more the accommodation location I would change but overall this did not detract from a fantastic holiday.Nick Howard review 29 Mar 2018

Wildlife2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Don't bother with the thermal baths - if you really want a mineral bath, use the free "locals" spa instead... look on Mr G's map for Free Natural Hot Springs River opposite Tabacon.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
