Planning my first trip to Costa Rica and wanted the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Safety concerns
4. Quality compared to Brazil?
Any recent reports appreciated. Thanks.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time there was overwhelming but exciting. Second time I knew the ropes and it was so much more efficient. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.
