Costa Rica

Archive for the ‘costa rica travel deals’ Category

Hello,

I needed some help on where to stay when I am in Costa Rica. I plan on going there for a week and plan on doing all the activities. I wanted to see what hotels people recommended that are affordable and offer many ammenities.

I am traveling with 4 college friends and a couple are on a budget. So we are not looking for something relatively expensive, but enough to think you are getting a deal.

Let me know if you have any recommendations on "must sees" in Costa Rica.

Thanks for the help!

OK SO I RECOMMEND 2 HOTELS!
the first one is "Cala Luna"

its an amzing hotel. The food is good, it has a nice little passage that takes you to the beach and if you can afford it the "suites" have a private pool! =)

the there is the very famous "tamarindo diria"

http://www.tamarindodiria.com/

it is an AMAZING hotel. Big and FUN. great restaurants and pools. right next to the beach so you get a nice view and great service!

Hey Everyone, michael alan and DAngelo from the Costa Rica Travel Channel. We went to Juan Santamaria International Airport aka San Jose Airport (so don’t be confused) and made a little video so you would know what to expect when you fly into Costa Rica. Sometimes, this airport can be quite intimidating, especially during high season (Dec-April). If you made it to La Fortuna, home of the Arenal Volcano, stop by, but don’t forget the Cacique.

Every country seems to have their own set of requirements when traveling ‘in’ and ‘out,’ and Costa Rica is no exception. The good news is, the requirements are fairly basic, as it’s quite easy to get in and out of the San Jose airport (Juan Santamaria International Airport)- with the possible exception of ‘time’. There ARE frequent instances of waiting a few hours in various lines, depending. Flying into Liberia’s, Daniel Oduber International Airport, located in the Guanacaste region is just a bit easier and less crowded than its older brother, Juan Santamaria Airport. But, if you are interested in Costa Rica travel, then you should probably take a look at this important information concerning entry and departure requirements even if you’re a seasoned traveler. The Costa Rica Travel Channel thinks it’s a good idea to remind you of things you may have forgotten you know.

Things have changed and a drivers license and birth certificate will NOT get you into Costa Rica. YOU MUST HAVE A VALID PASSPORT that will not expire within six months. If your passport is in poor condition the Costa Rica Travel Channel highly recommends that you replace it before leaving, you could be turned away. If you even suspect your passport may be a bit ‘weathered,’ don’t chance it, trust us, you really can be turned away and put on the next return flight. This would definitely be a vacation buzz kill. So, error on the side of being overly conservative.

US citizens as well as those from Canada and most European countries may visit Costa Rica for 90 days. If you wish a longer visit, you must leave the country for 72 hours. This will refresh your visa for another 90 days. However, there is a legal loophole. If for instance you left the country BEFORE your 90 days were up, you could re-enter after just a short day trip across the border, which would also refresh your visa for another 90 days. The Costa Rica Travel Channel does not endorse this, just reporting it. Doing this in and out thing a few times is no big deal. Doing it over and over (perpetual tourism) you can run a serious risk of being expelled from the country or refused re-admittance.

My son and his wife to be want to go on honeymoon to Liberia, Costa Rica. The flights I see from the DC area (or even Philly), are up to 28 hours travel time or leaving at 6 AM. Are there hub airports on the east coast that are better than others and also are there days to fly where we may get better deals? They get married the night of Sat Oct 4 so would leave Sunday midday or Monday for a week. Thanks

I’d check all the major airlines…..Also, check Champion Air..They fly into Liberia and have fantastic prices….. Also, TACA and Mexicana Air……Also, are you sure about the 28 hours???? That seems like a lot of hours to me….It’s only about 3 hours to Houston Tx from SanJose C.R.

Join the ladies as they tour the nature-rich and adventure-filled country of Costa Rica. It’s a safe and fun destination for women travelers, and most importantly…cheap! Airfare to Costa Rica is affordable, the food is inexpensive, and reasonably-priced hotels abound.

Kim Mance & Katy Quissell do everything from leaping off of waterfalls, to taking surf lessons and relaxing with yoga at the beach. They also stop off at an indigenous village to see a little more of the countries heritage. Food editor Heather gets a cooking lesson at the RipJack, and Kim gets her nose pierced. It’s a good time had by all…

Okay, I’ve posted a few questions here today and so far I’ve made up my mind as to what I want to do in Costa Rica. Since my travel time is rather limited – 5 days. I would like to see the best rainforest if possible, and to join a fishing trip. Can anyone tell me where I can get the best deal on both and where to stay. My main concern is my budget. I’ve looked into a few CR fishing trips and they cost a ton, somewhere in the $700 USD range? This is outragously high! Is this possible? I’m not looking into something fancy at all just a ordinary fishing trip. So to sum it all up, where I should stay to cut down my travel time and at the same time be able to do both and still have time to see more? How far is San jose to Quepos? I’ve found tons of great hotel deal in San Jose but don’t know how difficult to go from SJ to Quepos. Some day Quepos is the best and SJ for more for business travelers? I have 5 days 4 night. Please help!

Try to find a job to do on your trip. Something legal that will pay for a hotel room.
