    • Excursions near Guanacaste

      Costa Rica May 15, 2013 at 7:30 PM

      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!

    • 25th Anniversary Trip. Help we need advice!

      Costa Rica Apr 24, 2013 at 6:57 PM

      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?

      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.

    • Travel packages in Costa Rica

      Costa Rica May 15, 2013 at 7:11 AM

      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.

      Cancel or not?

      Costa Rica May 11, 2013 at 7:52 AM

      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?

    • camping at ranger stations

      by Richardlockey Online Now Jun 11, 2009 at 5:03 AM

      Please could anyone tell me if the ranger stations within the Tortuguero national park allow camping in hammocks. I am planning to travel to the park in July and did not wish to carry a tent when a hammock is much smaller and more comfortable. Thank you

    • Best way to get to and away from Tortuguero

      by terrirob Online Now Nov 17, 2008 at 7:51 AM

      We are planning on visiting Tortuguero in August and was wondering if the best way to get there is the jeep/boat through Limon? I read that you can also get there via jeep/boat via Cariari, though, that doesn't seem to be the standard route. We will be traveling with our school-age kids. We also were thinking of traveling to Arenal and Monteverde and was wondering if there was a reasonable route to get to either one directly from Tortuguero without having to go back to San Jose? Thanks. Terri

    • Where are the hotels?

      by Viktorm Online Now Aug 4, 2006 at 12:33 PM

      I am going to this area in December, and I am rather confused about the lodging in Tortugero. I keep finding lodges which include bus transport, boat transport, and lodging as one price. Is there no way to fly in from San Jose, stay in a hotel, hire a guide for the area, without paying the high price of the all-inclusive packages? Anyone been there to help me plan this out? Thanks. Viktor
