With a few exceptions everything went very smooth. The minor hiccups would be the check in at The Hotel Panama, the fact that Coppa airlines lost our reservation and didn’t want to let us get on the plane (nothing to do with Tropical Discovery…

Tracey Howell - Trinidad --- Guatemala Vacation
Thank you for your email enquiring how we enjoyed our vacation on Ambergris Caye. It was very nice. The resort was just as described on the website, the staff were very nice and helpful and the setting was gorgeous. The restaurant is indeed excellent and we saw that many people came by boat from other resorts to dine there. We enjoyed every meal that we had there. We would definitely return with other members of our family and next time would go for one of the bigger places, such as Jaguar as we like a lot of space. All in all a very successful stay. Kind Regards,
Jane and John Doré - UK --- Belize Vacation
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Costa Rica! All of our drivers were super knowledgeable and friendly, making a few stops along longer rides for restaurants and town walkthroughs. Our accomodations at San Jose, Arenal, and Manuel Antonio were excellent and every effort was made to make our stay all the more enjoyable. We would go back in a second. Thanks for everything!

Christina Getz - New York --- Guatemala Vacation
Our trip to Antigua, Guatemala was fantastic. We only booked the transfers and hotel with Tropical Discovery, but they were great. Good cars/drivers and our hotel, Hotel Encantada, was wonderful. I would recommend both Tropical Discovery and our hotel to all. As for Antigua, it was great to be there during the Easter period, but I am not sure it would have the same impact at any other time of year. And yes, you have permission to publish my comments. Kind regards,
