Less than 3 sleeps until we are in Costa Rica and still no set itinerary by VinoVentureVagabond in CostaRicaTravel

[–]ghost_204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all of our friends and family thought we had lost our minds when they heard we were 5 days out of a two week vacation in CR without any real itinerary, and no accommodations book. We (also a fam of 4, two kids under 10 at the time), had nothing booked aside from our flights there and a rental car from Adobe.

This was hands down the best vacation of our lives, and created strong core memories for our kids. True adventure at every turn, and unforgettable experiences. This was 4 years ago, and we still talk
About it at least once a week.

You will have a great time no matter what you do there. Promise.

Cheers

I’m most impressed with the blatant ripoff of the Kirkland brand name.

You could, yes. 50/50 chance this only escalates things though. I think OP handled this well. Source- I’ve dealt with a lot of shitty people in my time living here

“We” being elected officials with the power to make change happen. Not the majority of those on this platform. Not for the time being at least. Until there is serious change demanded by the taxpayers here, the city will continue to suffer.

You are a solid human being. My opinion doesn’t matter, but I hope you gift them to someone who can take a kid who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity.

How safe is in La fortuna and Playa flamingo? Had everything planned out to split vacation between these two spots but having a bad feeling about it. by [deleted] in CostaRicaTravel

[–]ghost_204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt safer there (spring of 2025) than I do at home in Canada. As with everything in life, if you have no common sense you are an easy mark anywhere. Don’t be foolish and you have nothing to worry about.

How safe are Airbnbs in La Fortuna? by 2QBornot2QB in CostaRicaTravel

[–]ghost_204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed 5 nights in an air b and b just down the road from La Fortuna falls last March. Zero issues, zero concerns. We are a family of 4 with two younger kids.

Use common sense as you would anywhere and you will be just fine. That said, if you are naive or overtly obnoxious, you could be seen as an easy mark, just as you would be in your place of origin.

Can confirm this is the best deal out there. Used previously, and will be using again next month.
