Product Description
Costa Rica is one of the world's top adventure/eco-tourism destinations. Because of its size and diversity, you can spend one day at the beach and the next deep in the rain forest. And Frommer's makes it easy to enjoy the adventure, with detailed, practical coverage that encompasses isolated waterfalls, 850 species of birds, turtle nestings, monkeys in the trees, world-class botanical gardens, and fantastic diving at Isla Coco.

 Keep the map, leave the book at home July 17, 2003

You'll need at least one or two other guides if you're going to Costa Rica for the first time. This book directs you to spend most of your time at the major resorts. That's great for anyone with unlimited funds but the rest of us have to be a little more realistic. One the up side, the map was great.
not much info September 2, 2001

This guide book was cheaper than the lonely planet book and contained a map, which was nice. However, the book itself is not that great. There isn't much information and lots of the smaller places to see aren't mentioned, or if they are it is just a very little bit. The major stuff to see is here, and the restaurant descriptions are good. But if your wanting to do something off the beaten path this book will not provide you with the information you need. Sometimes having more than one guide book can be helpful, this would make a good secondary guide book. It isn't all bad, but you'd be better off with the lonely planet book. The map was a nice feature and it did come in handy several times.

My entire family (ages 29-60) just returned from an 8-day vacation to Costa Rica planned on recommendations made by this book. I'm glad to say that every hotel and every restaurant met our expectations. This is a must read for those planning trips to Costa Rica!

We went to Costa Rica to get married in front of the Arenal Volcano and I have to say it was the best vacation of our lives. We lucked out and the volcano erupted just before we said our vows. IT was also one of the clearest days of the year. This book helped us immensely. The map was invaluable. The descriptions of each place were dead on. The writer clearly knows every town intimately and we couldn't believe the amount of detail. We're going back next Christmas and we'll be taking this book along!

This book does not really cover the less expensive places to stay and eat. For those of us who like to "rough it" a bit the book is really not that helpful. The Lonely Planet Costa Rica book has served us better.
