boiler Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Time to start planning next year's winter vacation. Anybody have any good suggestions on places to stay and see in Costa Rica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Zimmy Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 It doesn't matter where you go, Costa Rica is Awesome. I mostly stayed in a small town called Samara. Gentlemonkey suggested it to us. It's on the Pacific. I didn't want to deal with San Jose so we flew into Libiria. I will post some pics later today when I have a sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was mostly in St. Theresa - best surf - not americanized - pretty cheap and scenic area.-jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggo Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 manuel antonio/quepos has a really nice beach and national park. a little more touristey than some other spots i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 i recommend the osa peninsula. tougher to get to but so well worth it.there was a costa rica thread awhile back...try to find that, lotsa stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questcequecest? Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 manuel antonio/quepos has a really nice beach and national park. a little more touristey than some other spots i think. i stayed a week at Costa Verde (name of resort/hotel), a short walk to Manuel Antonio, and a short cab to Quepos... definitely a nice spot.

The Chameleon Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Stay away from Jaco Beach. Very overcrowded and has been having recent crime waves.I stayed in Tamarindo 1year ago and it was great. Nice little town.you'll love the country.

Ms Zimmy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I stayed in Tamarindo 1year ago and it was great. Nice little town. I heard the local now call it TamaGringo... people are building big houses all over that part. When are you going? Will it be the rainy season?
