Customer Reviews

Perfect for younger travelers or those on a budget

I bought several books on Costa Rica, including the popular Lonely Planet edition, but this has become my favorite. I'm in my mid-20s and will be going to Costa Rica on a budget and have found that this books fits my needs the best. It not only lists details on hotels, campsites, hostels, restaurants and bars, it also lists details such as where you can access internet resources or get your laundry done. There are details on nightlife such as the types of crowds you can find at the local bars and clubs. It's the kind of information that only a local usually knows, stuff you cannot usually find in your typical travel book. The only thing I find annoying about the book is the fact that they sometimes list American $$ currency and sometimes the local currency and it gets confusing. I wish they'd stick with one or the other.
