Quick question for Costa Rica regulars — anything changed recently?
Was there 6 months ago and had a great time but heard crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or try somewhere new?
Cheers

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about ${pick(["50","80","100","120","150"])}/day all-in.
My tip: Book hotels close to the scene.
