Costa Rican Vacation?

Question

I am planning a trip to Costa Rica, but dont know exactly what part of CR to go to. I want to go somewhere that is near the beach, yet close enough to the rainforest. There are beach houses for rent on the caribbean and on the pacific. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I would agree with Quepos/Manuel Antonio...there is also Jaco which is very Americanized. Tamarindo is also a nice beach area...but out of the 3 my vote goes to Quepos/Manuel Antonio...There will be beach houses for rent in most any beach community...The pacific coast is more acclimated to tourism...the Caribbean coast is more rustic and accomodations can be sparse...not knowing time of year your going...your age and interests it is really hard to advise.

Answer 2

montezuma... you'll ove it. is amazing and rain forest is quite far but another place is the corcovado park. that's like the costa rican amazonas and you can stay at a town called puerto jimenez...

Answer 3

Margarita,

Yes you can find beach houses for rent, but there also different prices depending on how many days are going to rent, the beach you want visit (Manuel Antonio has a lot of different prices) and also it will be more expensive if you visit Costa Rica on Christmas or Holly Week.

Answer 4

I also suggest Manuel Antonio. I'm a tourism agency owner and most of my clients talk amazing things after visiting  Manuel Antonio. Now, Manuel Antonio it is Ecological but not like Monte Verde. This place its the best if you will like to presence  the nature peace or the amazing view. Anyway, if you need more help just let me know.

Answer 5
