The Safest Country in C. America

by neurohoffa , Jan 22 '02
Pros: When staying in Costa Rica, I have two words: Hotel Bougainvillea
Cons: You'll wish you had more time to stay in this lovely country.
Okay so traveling anywhere in Latin America is not generally considered to be a safe endeavor. Political turmoil, unstable currency (read: Argentina), and intimidating guards on city corners with automatic weapons make for a not-quite-like-DisneyWorld...

Luna Lodge of Costa Rica

by rextangle , Feb 25 '03
Pros: The best destination I've ever been too. An experience of a life time
Cons: Most flights from the US make you stop in Miami.
Luna Lodge is located on an isolated peninsula in the southern part of Costa Rica. Upon arriving we got this great feeling of being remote from all civilization.

Luna Lodge is located in the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado, one of the most...

BRING YOUR CHEQUE BOOK, BAR /RESTAURANTE LINDA VISTA, CARTAGO

by JAMES23 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Mar 21 '01
Pros: THE COFFEE IS GREAT AND SO IS THE VIEW
Cons: OK IT MAY BE A LITTLE HARD TO GET TO
It might have been the two cups of good Costa Rican coffee I'd had with my breakfast. It might have also been the poor state of the roads in and around the town of Cartago. According to my guidebook they're the worst in the country. It was probably a ...

Costa Rica: See the Country, Skip the Resorts

by ginadc , Nov 02 '99
Pros: Beautiful country, astounding wildlife, kind people
Cons: None
I'm compelled to write a rebuttal to Tunaman's negative epinion on Costa Rica. Everyone's entitled to their own reactions to a particular destination, but the comments about "uneducated Ticos"--since this nation has universal education and an...

The Dirty, Sordid Secrets Of Sexual Tourism Revealed On TV

by charles Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 30 '00
Pros: Beautiful country with great natural resources such as rivers, parks etc
Cons: Sex Tourists are flocking to take advantage of young people; the long arms of laws should reach criminals operating on foreign soils
Disclaimer: A small group of tourists that fall under the category of sexual predators only care about breaking local laws while having fun. They are attracted by a few locals, sometimes international lawbreakers who promise to deliver high...

Independent, budget travelling in Costa Rica

by laylabinnur , Jan 27 '02
Pros: Beautiful countryside, upscale Central America, cheap & good dental work
Cons: Lacks culture, poor $ value, dead-end roads, heavily touristed, muggings
There is no doubt that Costa Rica, scenically speaking, is a beautiful country and one that is quite diversified. They've got Caribbean beaches, Pacific beaches, volcanoes, cloud forests. But then, so does all of Central America.

Part Four: Many Rivers to Cross

by kimmiko , Jan 25 '00
Pros: The native people are very helpful and friendly
Cons: The roads are even worse than before!
If you have read parts 1-3 of my Costa Rica travels, you should remember that we had driven to the Pacific coast and found an idyllic and secluded beach resort at Playa Azucar, or Sugar Beach. Our time there gave us a chance to really settle into...

Part Three: Sandy Beaches and Plastic Toys

by kimmiko , Jan 17 '00
Pros: Wonderful climate, gorgeous country, friendly people
Cons: Horrid roads
This is now day seven of our three week travels in Costa Rica.
Volcano Arenal is now in our rear view mirror, still belching and spewing clouds of ash. We are yearning for the ocean and begin our journey northwest by driving the perimeter...

Costa Rica means Rich Coast

by SteveBing Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 10 '00
Pros: natural beauty, friendly people, something for everyone
Cons: fairly long flight from SFO, a bit humid, food a little plain
A week in Costa Rica is not enough time to justify a great review, but it gave me a taste of the country and made me want to return. There is really at least two Costa Ricas - the Spanish speaking commercially influenced western side and the Carribean...

My "broader" review of this country!!!!!

by das1029 , Jun 22 '06
Pros: Too awesome. Absolute #1 place to visit, or retire or for dual citizenship
Cons: None that I can think of.
Hello one and all. Yesterday I wrote a review about Intercultura being and excellent school in Costa Rica to attend. I honestly didn't realise until after submitting my review that this was not about any and everything in Costa Rica, but specifically ...

A love/hate experience

by zeecee , Mar 18 '01
Pros: A different vacation - animals, rain forest, rugged experiences, volcano
Cons: Not for everyone; might miss amenities
As one can see from all the glowing reports, Costa Rica sets many visitors on fire and some return, even settle there. We went on a family vacation several years ago with another family. It could be we'd gotten too much hype, but we were disappointed....

by emak , Sep 11 '00
Pros: Everything
Cons: Bugs
...God created Costa Rica. I have seen a lot of beautiful places in my "short" thirty years, but this country topped them all. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation by the beach, or a last ditch chance to view some of the most luscious...

Pros: Great outdoor adventures, beautiful sights
Cons: Not really a happening nightlife place
Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

My wife and I spent a week in Costa Rica and had a thoroughly wonderful time. It was without the boys, who were playing in traffic--er--staying with grandparents. Perhaps that it itself...

Part Two: Ashes and Hot Lava

by kimmiko , Jan 16 '00
Pros: Heart racing excitement
Cons: Heart racing excitement
If you skipped Part One of my travels through Costa Rica, this is the place where the rented Range Rover has been repaired once, so far, and we've hiked through the Los Angeles Cloud Reserve without any major wildlife sightings. We've come to the...
