Costa Rica — realistic daily budget?

Costa Rica trip report — 12 days

Arrived and got settled quickly. Taxi from airport was easy. Hotel was surprisingly nice for the price.

Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Got some good intel from a local.

Days 3-5: Hit my stride. Found my rhythm. The main strip area was the sweet spot.

Prices: $100-200 for premium. Pay asking price — it's fair.

Tips: Bring cash in small bills.

Return? Yes, maybe try a different area.

Can confirm. Was there recently and everything checks out.
