What a fabulous book!,
By Ramon Vallarino (San Jose) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Costa Rica (Paperback)
I am here in Costa Rica in an internet cafe and had to take the time to tell everyone what a good book this is. It really gave us everything we needed to plan our trip and now that we are here, we use it to find just about everything. If you have not visited Costa Rica yet, get a copy of this book and come on down -- it is fabulous. PURA VIDA!

Excellent guidebook for Adventure,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Costa Rica (Paperback)
My husband and I just spent our honeymoon in Costa Rica and believe it or not, found this Adventure Guide to be the best resource for exciting things to do and see. It was also accurate for finding hotels that had that little bit of extra ambiance we wanted for romance. We had used Lonely Planet guidebooks on other trips but found this guidebook to be much better. It's easy to use, has lovely photographs, and for rainy nights it made good armchair reading. I heartily recommend the Adventure Guide for a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica.

Best Guide for Eco Adventures,
By gamaliel (Playa del Carmen Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Costa Rica (Paperback)
This book was everything we needed in a guidebook, with more then we knew we needed! Honest reviews of hotels and insider tips for restaurants, we used this guide mostly to steer us to some of the most interesting eco adventures in the country. We saved much time and plenty of money with this guide. Wonderful photos too.
