looking to go to an all inclusive in June of this year in Guanacaste, is it better to rent a car when we get there??? or reserve on before hand??? also taking two teen 16 & 17 where do we take them to explore and see some of the interesting points???? do we book tours?? I myself love to see the country and how the people live, eat, and travel on my own but not sure with grandkids.
Sammi says
If you’re staying at an all inclusive the whole time, you can just book excursions with transportation included and not rent a car because renting a car is very expensive and it’ll probably just sit in the parking lot when you’re at the resort for the days you don’t go out

I need your guidance. We are booked 4 nights at Westin Reserva Conchal and have an additional 3 nights to stay. We fly out of Liberia on an 8:00 morning flight so I thought if we could find a place to stay that is a short drive to airport that would be nice. I prefer nothing hotel but cottage, villa type stay. Is that possible to find? Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. We have our car through your site with Adobe.
Thank you for your time.

I used Mytanfeet for my trip to Costa Rica Uvita 2 years ago for my friends 30th birthday and it was just us twi girls headed to oxygen jungle villas on our own, and every step of the way was guided by using the tips and where to’s by mytanfeet. We had such an amazing 5 day stay, we did an activity everyday it was such a random trip, but with the help of mytanfeet it seemed as we planned this trip years in advance. I truly appreciate it, this vacation is one we can never forget.
Thank you.
Sammi says
Hi Breauna, thank you for your feedback and we’re very happy you guys had a great time in Costa Rica!
Rosario says
I love your site. I have spent hours on your informative and thorough tips. I’m so excited for our trip. Will be at La Fortuna from Feb 9-12, 2021. I’m hoping all excursions are open during this pandemic. Thank you so much for sharing.
Gina says
Where are the craft / homemade items markets?? Are they mainly on Saturdays or during the week as well?
Sammi says
There is an artisan market in downtown San Jose that is open during the week

My husband and I are visiting CR from January 6th (landing 12:30 pm) through January 15th, landing in San Jose. We are not interested in touring San Jose. We have rented a 4×4. My question is where to spend our time. We are very adventurous and like to hike. The more I read on your website, the more confused I get about where to go. It all sounds so AMAZING!!! Any suggestions for a 9 night itinerary would be greatly appreciated. We are happy to go off the beaten path. Thank you so much for all the great info on your blog.

This is a long overdue review of a car rental Yeison helped us with earlier this year. We were fortunate to visit Costa Rica before Covid locked us down in NY and I am so grateful the timing worked out that we could spend a week in Costa Rica in February.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for being so responsive and helping us with our car rental. Everything went so smoothly and hopefully we can revisit & use this service again!
Sammi says
Hi Anna, thank you for your review and kind words, we were very happy to help and glad you got to visit Costa Rica before lockdown. We hope you can visit again, we’ll be happy to assist you if you do 🙂

Have spent hours on your incredible , informative, exciting, inspirational, thorough site and i just purchased the ebook for La fortuna as we will be spending 3 nights there in September, 2020 an plan to figure out how to incorporate all the activities you recommend. Not sure how much time to allow for sky tran , hanging bridges, waterfall, rio celeste waterfall, Eco Termales hot springs, safari float and horseback riding. Too much for 3 nights, arriving by plane from Tortuguero at 1pm?
But my real question is we’re going on to Ostional to see the turtles, hoping by luck to maybe see nesting and hatching ?? But we have 3 nights there and wandering what other activities should we be considering? I love beaches but in September 78th 8th it could be raining every day, so what else?
The Wildlife Refuge for sure but what else? I didn’t see a book on that area. Should I add another night to La Fortuna or to Nasara?
Thanks

I would stay one more night in La Fortuna to do all activities you listed since Rio Celeste is a 1 full day activity, you can do safari float + horseback riding in one day and then hanging bridges or sky tram, waterfall and hot springs the 3rd but you will need 4 nights there.
Usually on the Guanacaste coast, it is cloudy and dry in the mornings and rainy at nights so you can still have dry days at the beach.

Hi from Canada:
We will be flying into Liberia on March 6th and staying in the Coco Beach area. I’ve rented a 4X4 with GPS (lol I know I need maps) for 3 days so we can do some exploring. We’ve been looking at doing the Mistico Hanging Bridge’s, Tenorio Volcano and then the Rio Negro Hot Springs and Mud baths. Our daughter would love to learn how to surf. And I might try it myself. We’re big swimmers. Do you have any suggestions? And without a car, how is getting around in the Coco Beach area? I haven’t heard of much about public transportation. Any insights you may have will be helpful. I really enjoyed your website, it’s very organized and straightforward and the topics are great. Oh, one other things on any of our planned outings do you thing we may see some sloths? I’d love to see some in their natural habitat.
Sammi says
The best beginner beach in the area is Tamarindo, there are a ton of surf shops there and is easily accessible.
You can walk in Coco beach to get around since it’s very small but if you want to visit surrounding beaches like Hermosa, Panama, Ocotal, etc. it’s best with a car because public transportation in Guanacaste is not great.
