Book Description

October 3, 2006 Fodor's Gold Guides
Relax at the most tranquil beaches, explore the lush cloud forests, embark on a white-water rafting adventure, walk right up to the edge of steaming volcanic craters, or spot one of the many exotic species of birds that inhabit this paradise–Fodor's Costa Rica offers all these experiences and more! Our local writers have traveled throughout the country to find the best hotels, restaurants, attractions and activities to prepare you for a journey of stunning variety. Before you leave for your trip be sure to pack your Fodor's guide to ensure you don't miss a thing.

The San Francisco Chronicle sums it up best –"Fodor's guides are saturated with information."

- We frequently update our Costa Rica guide, and we make every effort to bring you the most accurate and thorough book. Plus we provide timely updates about the area at Fodors.com.
- Unlike other travel books, Fodor's guides rely heavily on local experts who know the territory best–so you know you're seeing the real Costa Rica.
- Includes unique, color photos that illustrate the country's history and local activities and a full-color pullout map of Costa Rica.
- We give you the planning tools you need to tailor your trip. We give options for all budgets. You make the choices.

2.0 out of 5 stars Go with Lonely Planet!, April 11, 2007
By 
This review is from: Fodor's Costa Rica 2007 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
My husband and I traveled to Costa Rica for two weeks in March 2007. We had previously purchased the Fodor's Costa Rica 2005 (which we took with us on our trip) but also checked out Fodor's 2007, Lonely Planet, and Frommers from the library before our trip. We realized when we compared the books that Fodor's fell short in many aspects - this realization was re-emphasized when we got to Costa Rica and everyone had the Lonely Planet guide except us. The Fodor's guide lacks detail - the lack of photos is disappointing and only a few of the places we stayed at or ate at during our trip (and loved!) were even in the book and others that were highly recommended shouldn't have been.

Two other items that we got for our trip were the Costa Rica Traveler's Wildlife Guide by Les Beletsky and the Costa Rica waterproof International Travel Map (we rented a car). Both of these resources were wonderful and we highly recommend them!

This book really helped in reagrds to restaurants, hotels, activites, etc. But, there are a lot of great activiteies that are not listed in the book. While in Costa Rica, be sure to talk to locals and make your own favorite spots.
