Customer Reviews

Great if you really want to get away

My fiancee and I went to Costa Rica and wanted to get away from everything. This book led us to Uvita de Osa (not even mentioned in other books). This book gave us great local information and helped us plan our vacation form start to finish. Hint: If you are travelling cheap and want a hand getting started in Costa Rica, call John at Safe Passage (www.costaricabustickets.com). You won't regret it!

What a fabulous book!

I am here in Costa Rica in an internet cafe and had to take the time to tell everyone what a good book this is. It really gave us everything we needed to plan our trip and now that we are here, we use it to find just about everything. If you have not visited Costa Rica yet, get a copy of this book and come on down -- it is fabulous. PURA VIDA!

Excellent guidebook for Adventure

My husband and I just spent our honeymoon in Costa Rica and believe it or not, found this Adventure Guide to be the best resource for exciting things to do and see. It was also accurate for finding hotels that had that little bit of extra ambiance we wanted for romance. We had used Lonely Planet guidebooks on other trips but found this guidebook to be much better. It's easy to use, has lovely photographs, and for rainy nights it made good armchair reading. I heartily recommend the Adventure Guide for a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica.

Best Guide for Eco Adventures

This book was everything we needed in a guidebook, with more then we knew we needed! Honest reviews of hotels and insider tips for restaurants, we used this guide mostly to steer us to some of the most interesting eco adventures in the country. We saved much time and plenty of money with this guide. Wonderful photos too.

Full of great travel ideas

I really used this book a lot on a recent vacation to Costa Rica. As a first time traveler there I was amazed at the many cool spots to see and this guide pointed me right in every way. Besides good descriptions of where to go, what to do, and how to do it-this guide saved me a lot of time and money. I stayed in some of the more "tico" hotels and was very happy getting close to the people and the Costa Rican experience. I can't say enough about the good recommendations and tips. The color photos and maps are excellent and the authors showed how to do eco-tourism without high impact on the environment, which means a lot in Costa Rica. Highly recommended!
