What travellers are saying
- GurtySouthwestern Ontario70 contributionsIf you are staying in Liberia /Coco area of Guanacaste CR, then One On One Tours is a must. After reading 5 star reviews on trip advisor I contacted Manuel 2 weeks prior to our vacation. He replied within a few hours and made me feel like I had made a new friend. After completing a small questionnaire with our likes, and back and forth emails with Laura unique experiences were curated for us. Manuel & Pablo along with Laura behind the scenes are there to make your Costa Rican experience once in a lifetime. Each tour is truly private to your group. Today we did a Waterfall, Rainforest and coffee/chocolate tour. Manuel took so many pictures for us today so we could enjoy the experience! His knowledge of his country is amazing. He was dependable with pickup time, an excellent driver/guide and went above and beyond ensuring our day was memorable! Do not hesitate to reach out to this tour company.

Camillo was very informative with all of the services your company provides for the guests at the Guanacaste Riu. He gave us an awesome price on the Catamaran Sunset tour. We liked it so much that we later purchased the water taxi to Coco Beach, and also chartered a half day fishing trip through you as well.
The Catamaran trip included snorkeling. Under water, we saw sea turtles, schools of colorful fish, and manta rays. Our guide, "Rhasta" was very informative and helpful in many ways. He took photos of us in caves that are only accessible during low tide, and was a wealth of information about the area and its many attractions. They provided all the necessary equipment, fruit, and water bottles. The Captain's name was Orlando and he did a great job as well.
Rhasta was with us again for the water taxi to Coco Beach and it was interesting to have him inform us of all the celebrities that have homes in the Papagayo Gulf, as we passed them on the way to Coco Beach. The Captain even took us into some caves so we could see all the crabs scurrying away as we pulled close. These extra things are not necessary to get you from point A to point B, but they sure were appreciated.
As for the deep sea fishing, we had 4 people, plus the Captain ("Macho"), and his first mate. To be honest, we did not catch huge fish. We opted for a less expensive trip (less than $250 for all four of us) with bottom fishing instead of trolling, but that said, every person caught more than one fish. And the crew was very helpful with tips and techniques to make sure we did not go back empty handed. We ended up keeping 4 of the dozen fish caught and took them back to the hotel for the chef to cook them up for us. All the equipment and bait were provided, and we had a great morning with these guys.Written 28 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- erinbchiChicago, IL110 contributionsGreat store if you want to support some local artists and are looking for upgrades from some of the typical souvenir shops. I got a great pair or earrings and necklace here that were unique. Tons of art for anyone who is looking to bring home some art. Higher quality soft style tshirts. Just a nice little shop to get some quality gifts.Written 3 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

God's presence is felt there every time and I'm blessed to have had so many experiences, blessings and long friendships come from being a part of this wonderful congregation. The Spanish church has grown so sweetly and big and the "gringo" church, although it grows and then gets small with the seasons, the love and connection remains.Written 19 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- renee636Victoria, Canada146 contributionsWe have purchased many gifts from there to take back with us for family and friends. Their decorative art pillows are amazing. A few weeks ago, we bought ourselves a gorgeous new standing lamp with a hand painted shade. They will hand paint any size of shade. We love the customer service there as well.Written 2 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sandie BWoodway, TX374 contributionsStopped in the casino while on a shopping trip in Playa de Coco. Maybe a total of 20 slots, some take American money, you will know which do because there will be a $ sign on it. When you close out they will come by and write a ticket , then give you the money but it is never what the machine says you have. Staff is very friendly but our trip to the casino was a total waste of time.Written 17 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
