Our Mission/Vision | Charity Efforts | Jobs at CRV

Costa Rican Luxury Vacations was formed in November, 2000 after Tony Silva, a Minnesota native, identified the need for an online travel broker to arrange high end, all-inclusive vacations to Costa Rica.


The CRV staff is comprised of North American, European, and Costa Rican young professionals who live full time in Costa Rica.  It may sound corny, but we really love our work!  Our operations are headquartered in a modern home office in the San Jose suburb of Rohrmoser.  See our staff photos and profiles and our company scrapbook. Also see us on a regular work day

Our History

Costa Rican Vacations (CRV) came about after two budding Internet entrepreneurs, each with a case of wanderlust, were united by a "roommate wanted" ad in the Tico Times.

Tony Silva, a Minnesota native, stumbled upon the ad posted by Casey Halloran, a country boy from Pennsylvania, while trying to connect with his Spanish roots. After planting his feet on Costa Rican soil, Halloran had decided he was also in it for the long run.

While each devoted their time to separate endeavors at first, their creative web-savvy genius and love of travel led them to identify the need for an online medium to connect Americans to high-end vacation options in Costa Rica. In 2000 CRV was incorporated and the two moved to Pavas, the only area offering ICE's "revolutionary" cable Internet connection at the time.

From such humble beginnings seven years ago, CRV now has a staff of over 50 professionals in three countries, which represent a cross-cultural mix from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Panama and Costa Rica.

Costa Rica Holiday was created as a sister company to better serve the British public, and in 2008 the owner Richard Bexon was named junior partner of CRV, and the two companies were joined under the CRV brand.

The company continues to emphasize the fun, relaxed spirit and open communication policy it enjoyed in the earlier days, along with a "strictly casual" dress code. The high spirits of the employees is reflected in the quality service provided to our customers.

The road ahead promises to be an exciting one. Our hope is to become an organization that is more than a profitable concern, but one that stands by its values and improves the lives of those we touch.

We are proud members of the Costa Rican National Tourism Chamber. Click on the link and you'll see us listed as a member under "Viajes Lujosos de Costa Rica" (our corporation name in Spanish).

We love Costa Rica and to help keep it beautiful we donate a percentage of profits to the Organization of Tropical Studies (OET), one of Costa Rica's oldest and most respected non-profit scientific and conservation organizations.

Our goal is to provide you a comfortable and memorable vacation in this paradise we call home.  Let us be your guides in paradise!

Regards,

The CRV Staff
