Pros: natural beauty, friendly people, something for everyone Cons: fairly long flight from SFO, a bit humid, food a little plain
A week in Costa Rica is not enough time to justify a great review, but it gave me a taste of the country and made me want to return. There is really at least two Costa Ricas - the Spanish speaking commercially influenced western side and the Carribean...
Pros: Great country and awesome beauty Cons: I don't own it
Costa Rica is the most socially and environmentally advanced nation in Central America. With friendly people, a stable government, a world-class environment, and very little crime, it is understandably the home of many American and European expats. ...
Pros: Spectacular wildlife, vast selection of activities and great people! Cons: If you are not a nature person, this is not the trip for you.
Costa Rica's northern Caribbean coast offers some of the most spectacular critter-watching in the world. From a canoe or a flat-bottom boat on the maze of rain forest rivers and canals, you'll have a good chance of seeing monkeys, sloths, anteaters,...
Pros: Beautiful country, friendly Ticos, inexpensive fare Cons: It's still Central America
It roughly translates as, "it's all good, man," and there could not be a more apt description of the beautiful Central American nation. I just returned from a week's vacation there and had a wonderful time. The country is lush, the wildlife...
Pros: Top place to re-visit. Cons: I wished I had spent more time here.
Review Topic: Overview

I went to Costa Rica earlier this year. Definitely a phenomenal trip. There is a ton to see from live volcanoes to beautiful beaches to tropical rain forests. While there, its amazingly cheap and the people are incredibly friendly. Rent a car, and...
A 12 day stay in Costa Rica in August of 1999 was one of the most enjoyable trips of my life. Traveling with my friend and her four teenage boys, one of whom was entered in a surfing competition, was much more adventurous than traveling with my husband!...
Pros: Beautiful country, astounding wildlife, kind people Cons: None
I'm compelled to write a rebuttal to Tunaman's negative epinion on Costa Rica. Everyone's entitled to their own reactions to a particular destination, but the comments about "uneducated Ticos"--since this nation has universal education and an...
Pros: Lower rates Cons: A bit of rain in the afternoon
Costa Rica has been called paradise but in the rainy season months, it is even more attractive, specially for the adventurous travelers who like to play it by ear and look for good deals on the spot.
Pros: So many activities in a beautiful little country Cons: Despite its small size, it takes a bit of planning to see and do everything.
My first stint in Costa Rica came as an exchange student back in the early 80's. Back then most people didn't seem to know where it was, as it was barely a blip on the travel radar screen. Nowadays it seems everyone knows someone who's been there or ...
Pros: Scenery, Nature, Culture, and More Cons: Helps to speak some Spanish
This review is not for people that don't appreciate a beautiful country, or those that aren't open to a new culture. I had the rare chance to spend some time in this wonderful country, and I am so thankful that I took that opportunity. It was such a...
Pros: Great outdoor adventures, beautiful sights Cons: Not really a happening nightlife place
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
My wife and I spent a week in Costa Rica and had a thoroughly wonderful time. It was without the boys, who were playing in traffic--er--staying with grandparents. Perhaps that it itself...
Pros: The only map and driving directions you'll ever need in Costa Rica Cons: Be sure to order well in advance of your trip!
On our first trip to Costa Rica, my friend and I decided to rent a little Isuzu Trooper and give ourselves some traveling independence. In two weeks, we covered a lot of ground: from San Jose to the misty moonscapes of the Poas Volcano, to a journey...
