Where to get best deals for Hotels and Activities in Costa Rica?
February 5th, 2010 | 
Author: 1. Should I book in advance or just get there and find the cheapest deal.
2. Can you negotiate the cost (Hotel/Day Tours) there or use student discount ?
3. Any website to get deals on tours / hotels for students ?
Thanks !
Hiya, Harsh,
In what season will you be vising Costa Rica? From my experience, the majority of mainstream hotels do not offer student pricing, but they do offer ´green season´ prices which are lower due to possibilities of inclement weather and tourism drop-off. In this particular travel climate, many hotels are willing to negotiate something lower than their usual prices to draw business in off season–I have not found that to be the case in high season.
Definitely do bring your student ID as many of the Tour operators offer student pricing and discounts for excusrions, whcih could save you a significant amount. All of the national parks have student entrance pricing as well–the main draw here in CR, since most of us come here to see the wildlife…
You can look under the terms backpackers, mochilleros, hostels etc. to try and find low cost housing, but you´ll also find the majority of cabinas in Costa Rica are simple, clean and reasonably inexpensive.
What type of budget are you travelling on? While I personally own and manage a luxury boutique hotel in Monteverde, I spent my first year backpacking throughout the country. Perhaps I could make some specific suggestions if you give me an idea of season, budget and destinations–or would you like suggestions?

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it’s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online… otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

I just got back from Costa Rica on 19 Sept. and the weather was great! It only rained once the whole week. If you are looking for a great tour and/or tour guide, check out Eric Perez. He is a fantastic bilingual tour guide that is very friendly and knowledgeable of Costa Rica. He showed taught my wife and I a lot of the country and culture. Highly Recommended!
