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 Corcovado National Park in the Osa Peninsula – it's brimming with biodiversity. Another hidden gem is the Monteverde Cloud Forest, reachable only by hanging bridges or a thrilling zipline. For something different, explore the less-visited beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula, like Santa Teresa or Mal Pais, known for their surfing and laid-back atmosphere. Finally, the Pacuare River offers incredible white-water rafting opportunities in a stunningly remote setting.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Costa Rica?

    It depends on your destination. Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) near San José is the largest and most convenient for accessing the central region and many popular tourist areas. However, if you're heading to the Guanacaste region, Liberia International Airport (LIR) offers a much shorter transfer time.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Costa Rica?

    Whilst credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas and larger establishments, it's advisable to carry some colones (CRC), the local currency, for smaller businesses, local markets, and transportation outside of major cities. ATMs are readily available in most towns and cities.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Costa Rica?

    Road conditions vary significantly. Well-maintained highways connect major cities, but many smaller roads can be quite rough and winding. Driving habits can be more relaxed than in some other countries; be prepared for unpredictable driving and slower speeds on some routes. Consider hiring a 4x4 vehicle if you plan on venturing off the main highways, and always exercise caution.
  • 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. Then, contact your country's embassy or consulate in San José as soon as possible to begin the process of obtaining an emergency passport or travel document. Make copies of your passport before your trip and keep them separate from the original.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Costa Rica?

    A week could allow for a good mix of experiences. Perhaps start in La Fortuna, experiencing Arenal Volcano and its hot springs. Then, head to Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific coast for beautiful beaches and wildlife spotting. This itinerary offers a blend of adventure and relaxation.
  • Where can you have the best weekend experience in Costa Rica?

    For a short break, consider exploring the vibrant city of San José, visiting museums and enjoying the city's culinary scene. Alternatively, a weekend getaway to the beaches of Tamarindo offers a relaxing beach vacation with opportunities for surfing and watersports.
  • What festivals in Costa Rica are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Festival de la Luz (Festival of Lights) in San José is a spectacular parade with vibrant floats and costumes. Also, many towns and cities celebrate their patron saint's day with colourful fiestas throughout the year, offering a glimpse into local culture and traditions. Specific dates vary, so checking a local calendar closer to your travel dates is recommended.
  • What’s the top spot in Costa Rica for favourable weather conditions?

    The weather in Costa Rica varies greatly depending on the region and time of year. However, areas like Guanacaste on the Pacific coast generally experience the most sunshine and dry weather, particularly during the dry season (December to April).
