We were picked up by the tour operator Mario and driven to a very secluded beach. At first we were a little skeptical driving out into the remote Country side but Mario assured us all was good and we were really amazed when we arrived at the Beach. The beach was beautiful, uncrowded, and clean. Mario took us to a little bar right on the beach where we found beach chairs, clean restrooms, free cold drinks a food. Great service was provided day all of the staff. The only minor thing I would recommend is a little better pick up location information and a sign or something for the operator to display when getting to shore. Mario was a wealth of information and made our beach experience a memorable day.

We had a really fun tour with San Juan Rentals. They picked us up outside the cruise port and were prompt and easy to communicate with. We had a great time and saw some beautiful beaches, rain forests, howler monkeys, and enjoyed our guide. We would recommend.

If you want to connect with people who have a very different culture than your own, and if you want to learn and grow as a person—consider spending a week or more in Spanish school. It will make for a very rewarding trip that you will always remember. Whether for a week, a month, or a year—anyone who has ever done it will agree that it’s a much deeper, more meaningful, and more memorable way to travel. It’s also very inexpensive and a wonderful way to support local culture and local people.

ITA gave me the experience of a lifetime and surrounded me with warm and welcoming people. The hotel made me feel like a queen, our activities gave me a sense of thrill, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere made me feel so accepted. With travel you sometimes say "Maybe ill come back again someday. Who knows." After jumping into this adventure, I KNOW it is a destination I will go back to. There are no "what ifs" or "maybes" for me. It was that memorable and life changing. ITA made sure of it with their amazing team of DOERS!
