Plug outlets in Costa Rica?

Question

Hey, wondering if the plug outlets for electricity in Costa Rica are the same as the U.S.. i looked online and U.S and Costa Rica are both 120v.. does that mean i don't have to buy an adapter for when i go there to plug in my outlets?

Answer 1

you don't need an adapter.

Answer 2

no adapter neaded.i travel to costa rica5-6 times a year and never a problem

Answer 3

They are the same outlets--except outlets for 3 pronged (grounded) plugs are not as common as in the U.S. so it is best to bring an adapter to allow you to use a 2 pronged outlet.

Answer 4

You can use the same plugins without any adaptors.

Only Europe and the middle east are different.

Answer 5

You dont need an adapter.

But a small surge protector might not be a bad idea... the quality of their power is horrible.

Answer 6

nope, u don't need an adapter. only europeans do.

here it's the same as the usa

Answer 7

Costa Rica has the same frequency and voltage, and they use the same plug and outlet designs. You are correct - you don't need an adapter.
