 Great Book October 7, 2009
Paula S. Blank (Ceres, CA)
I was hoping to visit Costa Rica and this publication gave a overall picture of the country and how varied it is.

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.
 Go with Lonely Planet! April 12, 2007

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!
