Frommer's Costa Rica [With Map]

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!

Hi, My name is Leonie and I am working at ILISA Language Institute in Costa Rica, San Jose and I just want to say that this book helps our students a lot by giving them helpful tips and their way around in Costa Rica. Thanks!

I have read an earlier version of this book ('97 or '98), and it was the best purchase I made before traveling to Costa Rica. My husband & I tried many of the recommendations from the book (where to go, where to eat, where to stay) and found every one fantastic.The information in the book was easy to locate, the details were accurate, and the recommendations were extremely reliable. The book also gave some unusual information/perspectives that I found valuable.This book is a must-buy for anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica!

When Frommer says it is a site to see, don't miss it. When he recommends a hotel or B & B, he means it is an excellent place to stay. Every detail down to the food was accurate. It is a MUST if you like to travel and see more than the average traveller! I wish I were Frommer.
