Monteverde Best Night Hike?
Posted: Mon June 9, 2008 12:42 AM UTC
We plan to do a night time hike while we're in Monteverde and are wondering about your experiences with the various options. There are night hike options in the Children's Forest, at Selvatura, and in the Montana Forest (booked through a homestay organization) that we know about.

Any experiences you can share?

Thanks.

Puerto Viejo Money matters
Posted: Mon April 14, 2008 08:47 PM UTC
Hi,

I'll be staying in Puerto Viejo for two months this summer (June-August). I'm wondering how to do my banking...can you just withdraw from a local ATM using a US debit card? Anyone have suggestions about how to access my funds without having to bring a lot of cash (which would be hazardous and not smart). Thanks!

Monteverde Affordable Accommodation?
Posted: Sun March 30, 2008 09:20 PM UTC
We're going to spend a couple of days in Monteverde and need an affordable place to stay. I would prefer a small hotel/B&B. Hostel would do as long as there are individual rooms as opposed to dorm style. Our max budget is $40-50 per night for two people.
Since we're not renting a car I would prefer somewhere closer to the site.

Puerto Viejo Movie - Puerto Viejo
Posted: Sat March 15, 2008 02:51 PM UTC
hey my fellow travellers,

i have one question for you. I was in Puerto Viejo (Limon area) in september and one local guy told me there was some movie made down in Puerto Viejo (or maybe close area). I was trying to find out the name of the movie but haven't managed to. Does anybody know the name of the movie? I would really like to watch it and remember this awesome place on the earth.
thanx a lot

Monteverde Arco Iris or Trapp Family lodge?
Posted: Wed March 12, 2008 07:48 PM UTC
Which lodge do you think would be better for 2 nights? Arco Iris or Trapp family? We are stumped. I liked the fact that Arco iris is next to the town and the price seems very reasonable, although after looking at the town in photos, the town really doesnt look all that appealing, but I could be wrong. We will have a rental car to get to town if we choose the Trapp Family Lodge. I like that Trapp has its own restaurant, cable tv and a nice view from the mountain suites, but then I hear it's very cold and windy. The problem I find with Arco Iris is that there are no screens on the windows and I dont know if that is going to be a big problem or not. Hopefully someone can help me make a decision, Im so confused.




Would love to hear your input. Thanks!

Cahuita Cheap hotel/bunglo ? Cahuita or area
Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 12:38 AM UTC
Hi, I am a single (just divorced) guy looking at moving to C.R. I was there last year for 3 months and will be there the latter part of the summer. I want to find very inexpensive place to stay on the Caribbean side and Cahuita looks good. What can you tell me about the area as I have never been to this side of the country. I will probably have 3-4 weeks to stay here.
I do not desire anything fancy. Simple but clean and safe is just fine for me
I will be in C.R. for at least 5 months and maybe stay for good.

Monteverde Cabanas La Pradera
Posted: Tue April 17, 2007 04:29 PM UTC
I'm planning on booking our last three nights at Cabanas La Pradera in Monteverde in mid-May. Has anyone stayed here before? They offer fully equipped rustic cabins that look super cute online. The price is a steal too!

Our only concern is getting to San Jose on our last day around 12pm. Our flight departs at 3pm. Does anyone see any big problems getting to San Jose in time to catch our flight?

Thanks!

Posted: Tue March 6, 2007 11:14 AM UTC
Several mentions of this Beach so far, but is it a great place to stay? I am looking at going there September for 4 weeks. Can you tell me if anyone has been to this part of CR and what are the high lights this country can offer at that time of the year? i am interested in clean budget beach accommodation and would like to see the major natural sights of the country comfortably during the month I am there. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Puerto Viejo Driving to Puerto Viejo del Caribe Costa Rica
Posted: Wed January 17, 2007 02:13 AM UTC
I'm planning on traveling to Puerto Viejo and Cahuita in CR soon and am wondering if I really need an SUV or is a regular car a possibility.

Last year I went to Jaco', Manuel Antonio on the pacific side and it was not a problem.

I know that in other areas of CR an SUV is a must, like parts of the Guanacaste coast and Monteverde if it's raining!

We are 6 people touring Costa Rica from Tortugero to Arenal, then Manuel Antonio and finally Poas.
We start on November 9th. The tour agency offered us a non 4X4, 12 seats car.
Is this enough or do we need a 4X4 car?

Thanks for all answers

Hello,

I am looking to rent a home/cabin/cottage on or close to the beach was hoping someone here would know of a way to do this as the internet has limited options. I need a place to rent that is relaxing and "out of the way". I would like to rent it from mid OCT to mid DEC. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Tortuguero Where are the hotels?
Posted: Fri August 4, 2006 07:33 PM UTC
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.

Monteverde Transport from Monteverde to Tamarindo/Coco?
Posted: Mon July 3, 2006 11:04 PM UTC
Im trying to figure out how to get from Monteverde to Tamarindo in the afternoon. Looks like the bus leaves only in the morning. Even Interbus or Grayline.
Thinking about taking a taxi to Tilaran and catching the public bus to liberia from there and then on to the beach.
Anyone know a better way?
Or how much a taxi from Monteverde to Tilaran would cost?
I know that we could just get a private minibus for the whole trip that leaves whenever we want but thats like $100. A bit too much.
Thanks
