4.0 out of 5 stars Fodors Costa Rica, January 7, 2008

Great book for prepping a trip to Costa Rica, and great to have along for a first timer! I took one from our library for our first trip to CR, and it was invaluable....will be going back, and have our own to take along now

3.0 out of 5 stars Just "OK" but that's it .........., March 29, 2008

By	Just "Steve" (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

This is not a bad book, but I was not overly impressed with it. I may be spoiled by always buying a "Rick Steve's" book, because they are easy to follow and MUCH more in depth. This one had only brief descriptions of everything in it, and I found the organization of the book left much to be desired. I think next time I will try a Frommer's book if a Rick Steve's volume is not available.

I always make a point of getting the latest Fodor's Guide when traveling.
This one did NOT disappoint.
I would recommend this as well as other guides published by Fodor's.
