What part of Costa Rica is best for honeymooners and is June a good month?
May 16th, 2010 | 
Author: My hubby and I aren’t into water sports or any of that. We like bars, beaches, spas, shopping, etc. Prefer lots of people to secluded area. Looking for an all inclusive resort. Don’t know what part of costa rica is best. Thanks.
Thanks for all of your input! Btw, we are both 33. So we don’t want to go where it’s all spring-breakish. How is July? Is July better than June?
Jaco is a wasteland of human garbage. The streets are lined with drug users (and dealers offering you stuff right out in the open). The humidity is at 100% all day and night. It’s like living inside an oven. It’s a very small dirty town that has been over developed (most abandoned during credit crunch of 2008-09).
For great weather and nice beaches, go to the Guanacaste area. I recommend Flamingo, Samara, Nosara. Lots of great hotel options.
If you want a really romantic semi-secluded honeymoon, try Montezuma (or Tambor). It is at the south end of the Nicoya Peninsula. The water is crystal clear. There’s less tourists and you can still do all the activities you want.
To get there you go from the airport to Puntarenas, and take a ferry across to the peninsula. It’s the most romantic spot in CR.

Btw, the resort that the previous poster mentioned is spectacular. I have friends who went there with girlfriends and they loved it. It’s a little pricey but it’s your honeymoon, you can save money when you get back.. haha

June is good. The temperature is always great, the only difference is the amount of rain. June is the "green season" (rainy season) but it usually rains in the late morning/early afternoon. So do your beach, and outdoor activities early and be inside getting to know each other better in the afternoon. Some days it doesn’t rain at all, some it rains for an hour or two and then clears up nicely, and rarely does it rain all day. And the rain is usually not heavy, you can be outside with umbrella, or just a poncho. I wouldn’t worry about the weather at all. I have been there over 30 times (my wife is from there) and rain has never really affected any of my plans.

What are these beetles in Costa Rica called?
In Costa Rica, I saw big beetles (probably about 1.5" long) on their backs just wiggling their legs helplessly. The tour guide said the males did that to each other to eliminate competition. They would just die that way because they cannot flip themselves back over. What is the name of this beetle?
There’re a lot of beetles that you can find in Costa Rica.
Those big beetles are called: Escarabajo
Commonly known as "Ruedacada" or "Caquero"
The scientific name is: Orthognathus subparallelus
The can flip over ONLY if they use the wings, but I think they’re not smart enough to do it and in the most of the cases, without external help like the wind or other bugs, they cannot flip back over and die after trying.
I would like to get dual citizenship for Costa Rica. Where do I start?
I know i can have dual citizenship for the US AND Costa Rica. I always thought about moving to Costa Rica one day or whatever. Where would I start to apply for citizenship?
No I want citizenship!
I have dual citizenship for the UK & the USA. My mum did it for me though. Ask your mom for help. I think your best hope would be to contact the Costa Rican embassy and ask them.

Two week itinerary suggestions for Costa Rica?
I am in the initial planning phase for a 2 week trip to Costa Rica in February 2010. My vacation will start and end in Liberia and I would love to visit both the Caribbean and Pacific sides of the country. Do you think 3 or 4 days on the Caribbean side is doable for a 2 week trip? Any suggestions for itinerary possibilities? Or any recommendations on cities, hotels or restaurants…since I am at the beginning of my research, any recommendations (positive or negative) would be great. Thanks!

How to fly from Costa Rica to New Zealand?
I want to know fly from Costa Rica to New Zealand WITHOUT going through the USA. I’ve searched on the internet, but can’t find anything.
Thank-you
A person I know can’t go through the USA for some reason, probably dodgy, who knows! What is the simplest alternative?
can you fly through canada??
that would be the best bet…even though there may not be direct flights from Costa Rica to Canada, im sure that if you connected through somewhere like Mexico City or somehwere, you can get to Canada.
Then you can either fly through Australia (sydney is the best place to fly)) or through Asia….you would more likley to end up in sydney anyway, so flying vancouver-sydney is your best bet.
Air New Zealand does fly Vancouver-Auckland at certain times of the year, but im not sure when in the year they do it….but do try their website
How to start up a Starbucks in Costa Rica or other country?
A coworker of mine really wants to start a Starbucks in Costa Rica or other business like a Panda Express there or maybe another country. Does anyone know where i may be able to find some information for him? Please and Thank you.
Unfortunately, you cannot buy a Starbucks franchise since they do not sell franchises. All Starbucks stores are company owned and operated. However, if you have the ambition and energy to consider getting up and serving coffee before dawn, you should definitely follow your plans to start a business of your own.
An underserved market in Internet consulting has emerged in the last few years, and many companies including WSI are offering Internet services franchise opportunities.
