Opportunity to know Costa Rica

Reward your employees and business partners with a trip to Costa Rica – tropical flavours, colourful surroundings, and sincere hospitality will help shape your business goals.

We are your creative advisers on hotel arrangements, nature-adventure-cultural activities, teambuilding events, and theme visits that will have your participants talking about their experiences for many years to come.

Group size

Small incentive groups – as individual as your client

The smaller the group, the wider is the range of possibilities. For instance, several impressive locations in Costa Rica can be reached only – or faster – by air, boat, or even raft.

The personal satisfaction and motivation of participants increases with the exclusiveness of an event. A unique venue in the right setting can lead to everlasting memories; even more with only a handful of guests and personally hosted by top members of the inviting company.

Keep in mind that with groups of up to 25 persons, nearly all activities can be organised without splitting the group. Many boutique and luxury hotels in nearly all regions of Costa Rica are able to meet different budgets. Let’s create together magical and memorable experiences with a very personal touch.

Medium and big sized groups - big entrance

Many wonderful regions in Costa Rica can be accessed by larger groups. However, since road infrastructure is not the same across the country, and hotels with high room capacity can only be found in specific locations, larger groups face a reduced but nonetheless top-quality range of options.

Our main regions for medium-sized and large groups are:

The capital city of San José, where the Juan Santamaría International Airport is located.
La Fortuna at the foot of the impressive Arenal Volcano.
The Central Pacific Coast with its tropical rainforests.
The Northern Pacific Coast in the province of Guanacaste, which includes the possibility to arrive by air at the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in the city of Liberia.

Boutique and Luxury Hotels

Costa Rica’s main regions for incentive groups, due to the good choice of high-capacity luxury hotels and signature activities, are the capital city of San José, La Fortuna by the Arenal Volcano, and the Northern Pacific Coast in the province of Guanacaste.

Almost all hotel options in these regions are part of renowned brands like Marriott, Real Intercontinental, Four Seasons, Dreams, Secrets, and others. Some independent hotels belong to recognised collections, such as El Mangroove, a Marriott Autograph Collection; Tabacon Grand Spa and Thermal Resort, part of the Leading Hotels of the World; and Hacienda AltaGracia, an Auberge Resort.

The majority of these mentioned hotels offer a buffet breakfast with a large selection of homemade and premium products, and have one or more exclusive fine restaurants serving international or specialised cuisine.

If you are looking for all-inclusive resorts, you will be satisfied to hear that with the hotel chains of Dreams, Secrets, and The Westin, Costa Rica offers top resorts where the best service for your clients, abundant activities and exclusive gastronomy are guaranteed.

Boutique and small luxury hotels may be the top choice for smaller groups, ensuring very personal service inside a professional and intimate frame.

Small distinctive lodges with excellent service on a 5-star level may be the perfect choice for groups to experience tropical rainforests or whitewater rivers without sacrificing comfort.

Ideally, we recommend you plan your group and inspection trip one year ahead; otherwise you might face a lack of availability which may limit your accommodation options.

Tell us your needs, and we are glad to suggest the best hotel selection for your specific group!
