REMINDER: It’s okay to not have every minute of your family vacation planned.

You don’t always need to fill every day with activities, even though it might feel like you should maximize every moment.

You are totally allowed to spend a day lounging at the beach, exploring the hotel grounds, or simply enjoy time with your family.

We promise, you’re not missing out by taking it easy. In fact, allowing some downtime can make your vacation more enjoyable. A little rest enhances your resilience and reduces stress, helping your family connect more deeply and enjoy each other’s company without the rush.

So go ahead, give yourselves permission to relax and embrace the 'Pura Vida' lifestyle!

Authentic. Boutique. Eco-conscious. What do these things really mean?

If you’re staring at your screen wondering what the heck these terms *really* mean (even though you see them all the time when planning your travel), we’re here to give you a helping hand to truly understand what these things mean… and how they can elevate your travel experience!

Authentic means connecting with the true spirit of Costa Rica, from its lush rainforests to its vibrant local communities. When you travel with us, authenticity means you'll experience the real 'Pura Vida' lifestyle as locals live it.

Boutique refers to our carefully curated selection of accommodations and experiences, which are unique, intimate, and tailored to your personal tastes. Choosing boutique ensures a trip that stands out from the generic tourist packages.

Eco-conscious is about minimizing our environmental footprint while maximizing the travel experience. This means staying in eco-lodges that preserve the surrounding nature, participating in tours that support conservation, and ensuring that the beauty of Costa Rica remains untouched for generations to come.

And here at Costa Rica Escapes ? We embrace all three! Our itineraries and accommodations are designed to ensure that you can immerse yourself in an authentic, boutique, and eco-conscious journey through Costa Rica.

And if this still leaves you a little confused, don’t worry – it’s literally what we at Costa Rica Escapes are made for. Feel free to send us a message with any questions you have, and we’ll be MORE than happy to help guide you.
