Puerto Rico or Costa Rica for a honeymoon?

Question

Hi! My parents have offered to send me and my fiance on our honeymoon this coming July, and we are trying to pick a place to go. We have heard good things about Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. How expensive are they? (Our airfare and hotel will be covered, but we will have to pay for all our food and activities.) Which one is more romantic? What kind of activities does each one have? (I know Costa Rica has beautiful rainforests.) What was your experience with either place?

Answer 1

Well... I am from Puerto Rico and I am going to Costa Rica for my Honeymoon.  Puerto Rico is awesome, it depends on what do you want to do.  Both have rainforest(Costa Rica is better), activities (Costa Rica has more), Beaches both have some of the best beaches in America.  Caves etc

Puerto Rico has some bioluminescent bays, very rare in the world.  Old San Juan is nice, and PR has nice lighthouses.  Culebra and Vieques have Beautiful beaches.

If you want some ADVENTURE Honeymoon go to Costa Rica.  You will see more animals, and will get more involved with Nature.  Costa Rica has more biodiversity.

One more thing, is easier to move around PR than CR.  Roads are better in PR.  And you get faster to places.  PR is more like US.  

About money, you can end spending pretty much the same either way.  If you know Spanish is easier in CR, PR is pretty much the same.  That is because you can get to places normal turist normally cant/dont go.  That way you get more from the place you are going.

But remember you will find a romantic places everywhere you go, it depends on you and your loved one and how you see them.  ;)  

Travel cost, depending your hometown they can be very different.  Either way, more expensive or cheaper.  I can give you some ideas to both places.  I know PR pretty well, and i did a lot of research of CR.

I wish you the best.  I am going to CR for my Honeymoon in June this year.

Congrats!!!! I know you are excited!!!!!  :)

Feel free to email me anytime.

Answer 4

My boss just got back from climbing the 2nd highest peak in Osa Penninsula, Costa Rica.  He saw all kinds of monkeys, tucans, and other exotic animals, just from driving down the road.

Anyway, I had to look for accomodations for him and there were quite a few that weren't too expensive.

Answer 5

Costa Rica is very beautiful and is very well known for eco-tourism. You also have all-inclusive resorts,  at a very reasonable rates which means all your meals and alcohols are included. With that said, if you are into eco-tourism and relaxation, then this would be the place. On the other hand, if you want to experience diverse activities including a rain forest, then Puerto Rico is your best choice. Eating out of your hotel/resort is ideal and very safe since there are plenty of restaurants to choose from including American restaurants.

Is up to you if you want limited or unlimited choices, and only you would know this.

Not only do I personally want to wish you a safe and happy honeymoon vacation, but also to congratulate you and yours on a happy and healthy marriage! :)
