Hi there. My husband and I will be at the Riu Palace in Guanacaste July 15th through the 20th for our honeymoon. Any recommendations on "must-see" excursions? We don't want to do more than one or two days off of the resort, and would love feedback from anyone who's visited this part of the country. Thanks so much!
My husband & I are planning a long awaited get away to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in Oct. We have always wanted to go to Costa Rica but do not know where to begin. We love the outdoors, kayaking, hiking, snorkling and are not attracted by large fancy resorts with swim up bars. I do not want to wear resort clothes all the time. Give me my flip flops, and and no makeup!
Any suggestions for a romantic getaway with out the glitz?
We need a car when we arrive. What car rental company is the best place to rent a car?
Also, We will be in Manuel Antonio for three full days, what do you highly recommend we do while there? I have four young adult children.
I'm planning a trip to Costa Rica and wondering if there are good places to trade into. I'm a member in Interval and also in 3rdHome, both of which have places down there. Just wondering if anybody has suggestions on the best destinations to visit. I'd also like to do some eco-touring and explore the rainforest. Any input is welcome.
Hello!
I'm going from Sweden to Costa Rica this fall. I checked on line and found that the local travel agencies offer "package" with hotels, excursions, local guide, some meals and travel in a minibus in the country. A week costs about $ 500 and 14 days approx $ 1800 depending on which hotel you choose. The condition is that I must pay in advance via internet. Has anyone been there with experience if it is ok or should I wait and book when I get there and travel around for myself and choose according to the conditions in each place I visit?
I'm not afraid of a little trouble and have fun for the money I can save. Thanks in advance.
Farstache.

We are planning our honeymoon for Sept...spending a few days in Arenal then want to stay at a resort on the beach in Guanacaste. Looking for recommendations please
When we booked our trip, we did not realize that May was the beginning of the rainy season. Should we cancel our trip? We will be there May 20-26, 2013. We would like a couple of days at the beach. A little rain would be fine, but not the whole time. As of now, the forecast is cloudy and showers. We are spending 3 days in Manuel Antonio and two in Arenal. What do you think?
Help! I booked my flight but now I must be able to travel to several places. From San Jose to the hotel near Puntarenas, then to Arenal, Manuel Antonio, Monteverde...Prefer to do this cheap. Is there one place I can contact to get everything needed to get from place to place and does anyone have the contact information? Thanks..
Four senior citizens stopping here in april 2013 on a cruise ship stop. We are seniors, non-drinkers, just want to hire a car and driver for a few hours plus rest room stops. If you can put me in touch with someone we would appreciate it. thanks johnbanker62@yahoo.com
Is there any way to get to Monteverde trainforest from the cruise ship terminal at Puntarenas. If taxi is only option, roughly how much would it cost. Many thanks . Vonysc.
Will be ariving in Puntarenas Costa Rica from cruise ship and wondered if anyone knew if we could get to the Carara Nat` Pk' by shuttle and how much it would be, or how much a taxi and driver would charge for the day. I've read the park is free to enter, but do you have to pay to use the "skywalk" cable bridge. Thanks to any one who can help. Vonysc
I am looking for bus transportation information... Thanks, Klaus Peters
Hi, Will be visiting Puntarenas on a one day stop and would like to visit Playa Santa Ana. I believe it's the closest beach in town. Is there an easy inexpensive way to get the beach? Taxis? Can you tell me approx the taxi fare and whether or not I have to make arrangements for a taxi to pick me up and return me to the Cruise ship dock? Many thanks
Hi, Also we will visit Puntarenas for one day. The privately owned tour operator is sold out for that day. Does anybody know a local with a van who can take us out sightseeing? Regards, Karen
Hi Will be arriving with a cruise ship at Puntarenas (city) pier (in April 2007, for one day) and want to explore the coast INDIVIDUALLY! I have been trying to find a CAR RENTAL possibility but without success. Please help! Thanks! lengerer
My wife and I will be in Puntarenas for just one day (arriving by cruiseship) on January 3rd from 9:00am to 6:00pm. We want to see and do as much as possible in this very short time. We would appreciate a suggested "itinerary" of must-see and must-do activities from morning to night. We are "young", active seniors and would be open to all ideas and suggestions. We like hiking, rafting, etc..the Canopy Tour sounds interesting. We know it will be a whirlwind day, but we are ready and willing. If there are any local VT's who could be available to personally guide/drive us thru this day, that would be even better!
Various news articles are describing Puntarenus as an extremely bad haven for petty theft and con-artist., as is most of the tourist towns of Costa Rica. I would like to know HOW BAD is it. Has anyone had first hand experience, good or bad. Bryan
