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 renowned for its biodiversity but requires a bit more effort to reach. Another hidden gem is the Monteverde Cloud Forest, accessible via a thrilling hanging bridges tour. For something different, explore the less-visited beaches of the Guanacaste region, such as Playa Naranjo or Playa Ostional, known for its turtle nesting.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Costa Rica?

    It depends on your destination within the country. Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) near San José is the largest and most convenient for central and southern destinations. Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia is better for the Guanacaste province and its beaches. For the southern Pacific coast, you might consider flying into Tambor Airport (TMU).
  • 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 best to carry some colones (CRC), the local currency. Smaller businesses and many local 'sodas' (small restaurants) prefer cash. ATMs are widely available.
  • 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 more relaxed than in some other countries; be prepared for unpredictable driving and slower speeds. Renting a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for exploring areas outside of the main cities.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Costa Rica?

    Report the loss or theft to the nearest police station immediately and obtain a police report. Then, 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 documents separately from the original.
  • Where should you spend a week to experience the best of Costa Rica?

    A week allows for a good mix of experiences. You could spend a few days exploring the rainforests and cloud forests around La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano), then head to Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific coast for some beach time and wildlife spotting. This itinerary combines adventure and relaxation.
  • Where should you spend a weekend in Costa Rica?

    For a quick getaway, consider the Pacuare River Lodge for white-water rafting or a relaxing weekend exploring the beaches and nightlife of Tamarindo in Guanacaste.
  • 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. Many towns and cities also celebrate their patron saint's day with colourful processions and festivities throughout the year. Specific dates vary, so checking local event listings 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, the Guanacaste province on the Pacific coast generally enjoys sunny weather for much of the year, making it a popular choice for those seeking warm temperatures and sunshine.
