Frequently asked questions about unique stays in Costa Rica

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Costa Rica?

    For a truly off-the-beaten-path experience, consider visiting the Corcovado National Park, known for its incredible biodiversity. The remote beaches of the Peninsula de Osa offer stunning scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities, while the cloud forests around Monteverde provide a unique ecosystem to explore. For something different, head to the Barra del Colorado Wildlife Refuge for incredible birdwatching and the chance to spot caimans.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Costa Rica?

    It depends on your itinerary. Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) near San José is the largest and most convenient for most travellers, offering easy access to many destinations. However, if you're heading straight to Guanacaste, Liberia International Airport (LIR) is a much closer option. Consider your final destination when making your decision.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Costa Rica, cash or card?

    While credit cards are increasingly accepted in tourist areas, especially larger hotels and restaurants, it's always wise to carry some colones, the local currency. Smaller businesses and establishments in more rural areas may only accept cash. ATMs are widely available in towns and cities.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Costa Rica?

    Road conditions can vary significantly, ranging from well-maintained highways to more challenging, unpaved roads, especially outside of urban areas. Driving habits can be quite different from what you might be used to; expect varied driving styles and be prepared for less predictable driving conditions. Renting a 4x4 vehicle is recommended if you plan to travel on less developed roads.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Costa Rica?

    Report the loss or theft immediately to the nearest police station and obtain a police report. Contact your embassy or consulate in San José as soon as possible to begin the process of obtaining an emergency passport or travel document. Keep copies of your passport details and other important travel documents separately from the originals.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Costa Rica?

    A week allows for a good balance of adventure and relaxation. One option is to combine the Arenal Volcano region, known for its stunning volcano views and hot springs, with a few days exploring Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific coast, famous for its beaches and abundant wildlife. This itinerary offers a blend of adventure and relaxation.
  • Where can you have the best weekend experience in Costa Rica?

    For a quick getaway, consider La Fortuna, near Arenal Volcano. You can visit the volcano, relax in hot springs like Tabacon, and explore the surrounding rainforest. Alternatively, a weekend in Manuel Antonio offers beautiful beaches and opportunities for wildlife spotting.
  • What festivals in Costa Rica are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Festival de la Luz in San José is a spectacular parade of floats and light displays. Many towns and cities also celebrate their patron saint's day with vibrant fiestas throughout the year, offering a glimpse into local culture. These vary by location and date, so checking local event listings closer to your travel dates would be beneficial.
  • What’s the top spot in Costa Rica for favourable weather conditions?

    The weather in Costa Rica varies significantly depending on the region and time of year. However, areas on the Pacific coast, such as the Guanacaste province, generally enjoy drier and sunnier conditions, particularly during the dry season (December to April).
