Katie did a fine job finding us a hotel not too far from the train station. The tours she arranged with LIV TOURS were no more than 4 or 5 people and the tour guides were outstanding!!

We told Katie what we were looking for and she was able to find us this amazing hotel only a few days before. We were so excited to be able to getaway after we had neglected to make the plans in advance. The La Valencia that Katie booked for us was perfect for our needs and exactly what we were looking for. We look forward to our next getaway and will definitely have Katie book for us again. She has a very good eye for the details that make a hotel special.

Site Inspection at Nantipa in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

The grounds have so much natural beauty - all of the walkways are lush & lined with lots of native greenery, and the property is located right on a beautiful beach. Nantipa was everything I had hoped for and I cannot wait to send my clients to this magical place!
