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.
Costa Rica — realistic daily budget?
