Cyril Louis-Andre, Costa Rica

Lucy was so helpful and attentive whilst planning our honeymoon to Costa Rica. Everything which she organised for us was just perfect and we couldn’t have asked for more. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sundowner Holidays

Christopher Finch, Costa Rica

This was the best family holiday we have ever had. Tailored to what we wanted in beautiful and perfect accommodation that suited us. Every day was an adventure and honestly trying to find a highlight is impossible. From watching giant green turtles laying their eggs then walking back into the sea, to being woken up by howler monkeys to zip lining through the rainforest and kayaking with crocodiles.

Melissa, Costa Rica

It was heaven! What a country Costa Rica is. The people are terrific and their attitude to eco-tourism is certainly first-rate
