Looking for a great all-inclusive hotel in Costa Rica for less than $1,000 per person (including flights)?

Question

I love the beach and swimming in the ocean, and I REALLY would love to try the cable zip line experience! Any and all suggestions are appreciated!!

Answer 1

July is not too bad a month, weatherwise.  But to be an hour or so from a major airport and go ziplining and include airfare and be at an all inclusive hotel or resort for about 5 days for $1000, I don't think is going to be possible.

Answer 2

I don't really recommend all-inclusive vacations in Costa Rica. They are usually very environmentally UNfriendly. For example... The Allegro Papagayo Resort was shut down for illegal waste disposal. They are so big and produce so much it is not ecologically sustainable.

If you want to explore the rain forest and see the beautiful country that is here in Costa Rica, I think you can manage to do it with $50 per day.

If you go to a travel agencie that books hotel/flight packages,  (sun fun vacations etc) they will have CHEAP charter flights available at the last minute because they want to at least fill up the plane even if they do not get your hotel/ all-inclusive booking.

SO... Flight booked charter: $400 (seriously this is possible)

$50 for 10 days:  $500

this leaves you with and extra $100 emergency cash.

You may have to stay in hostels and cheap hotels, but its worth it!

If you want to learn more about different areas of the country some of my favourite are

Samara Beach (go to Coco's restaurant and le vela latina)

Monteverde

Moon shiva has great hummus and falafel, a nice change from the regular rice and beans of the local cuisine

Answer 3

For how long, when, and where in Costa Rica?

Prices vary greatly based on location within the country... and especially season. Right now is much more expensive then June-September (green (rainy) season)
