Question

I have been interested in visiting Costa Rica but to be told that better i go Brazil or Panama as they are less expensive then Costa rica and also cleaner,

im just going for the Partys and the girls...whats better place for me.....im going in April

Answer 1

Brazil is definitely not cheaper than Costa Rica and it costs more to get there.   Panama is  a little cheaper than Costa Rica.   Panama City is a bit cleaner than San Jose but I would give the edge to Costa Rica for having cleaner beaches.

Answer 2

Brazil cheaper than Costa Rica?

I'm not so sure about it.

Well, depending on where you're flying from and what your plans are, any of these places might be nice to visit.

Whoever told you that Costa Rica was pricier, got the information wrong.

For partying? Any of these three wonderful, friendly countries will do.

Panama's a shopping paradise.

Answer 3

To be honest I can't really say right now, as the price of oil is upsetting all the scales as to measure accurately.

Brazil should be the most expensive of the 3 choices you mention.  However as for girls and parties Rio de Janeiro is going to be fun and the girls are going to be amazingly beautiful.  Gotta be careful as Rio is not the safest city of the 3 you mentioned though, so if you have a friend that can show you around do that or get a tour.

Panama is a great place for shopping (I live here!), and it's fun as well.  However if you're using Wild on E! as a benchmark, then we're beat on the fun scale by both Brazil and Costa Rica.  However do understand that such a scale has a lot of TV hype on it, so don't take that measure for a fact on the fun side.  If you're a city person Panama City will be a better choice than San Jose hands down.  Panama has nice beaches as well, but there isn't a lot of tourism yet associated to the beaches, meaning there isn't a lot to do.  You can go to the Decameron Beach Resort, and you'll have a nice hotel, all inclusive with night time activities for a younger crowd; or you can go to Bocas Del Toro, which is beautiful as well and as a more Caribbean flavor to it.

Costa Rica has been the eco tourist destination of choice for the past 50 years.  They have beautiful beaches, and I believe they have more to do at the beaches than Panama.  However you have to be careful of your budget in Costa Rica.  There are nice places to go, but the really nice places are really expensive!  They also have cheaper places to at the beaches, but my take is that those places are more suited to surfers and backpackers.  I don't know what you're looking for as to lodging and accomodations, so you should make sure what you're getting before venturing out.  I think you'll find more young tourists in Costa Rica than in Panama, so girl hunting should be good over there.  I think the more mature tourists are finding their way to Panama nowadays!

Hope that helps!
