Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Costa Rica

  • What attractions should you visit during a week-long stay?

    A week allows for a taste of Costa Rica's diversity. Consider exploring La Fortuna, famed for Arenal Volcano and its hot springs like Tabacon. Then, head to Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific coast, known for its beaches and abundant wildlife.

  • What attractions should you visit when you spend a month in Costa Rica?

    A month gives you ample time. You could explore the cloud forests of Monteverde, renowned for its hanging bridges and unique biodiversity, and experience the thrill of zip-lining through the rainforest canopy. Then, journey to Tortuguero National Park on the Caribbean coast, accessible by boat, to witness the nesting of sea turtles (seasonal). Include a visit to the capital, San José, to explore its museums and cultural attractions like the National Theatre. Consider exploring the Nicoya Peninsula for its laid-back beaches and surfing opportunities. With a month, you can delve deeper into specific regions based on your preferences.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Costa Rica?

  • What currency is used, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Costa Rican colón (CRC) is the official currency.

Both locations offer a relaxed atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and opportunities to explore local culture.

    The Nicoya Peninsula and the area around Tamarindo are popular for extended stays due to their laid-back atmosphere, beaches, and good infrastructure. The cooler climate of the Central Valley, around towns like Grecia and Sarchí, appeals to those wanting a more temperate environment. The Caribbean coast, particularly Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, offers a different vibe with its Afro-Caribbean culture and lush rainforests.
  • Is Costa Rica safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Generally, Costa Rica is considered safe for solo travellers, including women, but like any country, it's wise to take standard safety precautions. Being aware of your surroundings, avoiding walking alone at night in less populated areas, and keeping valuables secure will help ensure a safe trip. Common sense and awareness are key.
  • Which region is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The Central Valley enjoys a pleasant climate year-round, with average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. Areas like Grecia and Cartago offer a spring-like climate with less rainfall compared to other regions.
  • What do you do if you lose your passport or documents in Costa Rica?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station and contact your embassy or consulate. They will guide you through the process of obtaining emergency travel documents and reporting the loss to the relevant authorities. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents separate from the originals.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Costa Rica special?

    Costa Rica celebrates many festivals throughout the year. The Festival de la Luz (Festival of Lights) in San José is a vibrant parade with colourful floats and music. Dia de la Independencia (Independence Day) on 15 September is celebrated nationwide with parades and festivities. Many towns and villages also hold unique local festivals throughout the year, often linked to religious events or harvests.
