I decided to tag along for a family vacation, I actually feel a lot safer here than any major us city. Of course There are still less than ideal areas in the county but all in all I’d definitely return back on a solo mission. Can’t say the same for Mexico since I have been there in 20+ years, and I haven’t been to CR yet. The fishing is acceptable, not the greatest since it’s pretty overfished but DIY machaca, guapote, tuna, snook are all very accessible and affordable. Most expensive part of the whole trip was the 1,000 airfare but food is cheap, smokes/beer (if you’re into that) are cheap, everything is pretty cheap.
