Product Description
Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), Frommer's Costa Rica features gorgeous color photos of the lush rain forest, the amazing array of wildlife, and the spectacular beaches that await you. Personally researched by a longtime resident, it's the only truly up-to-date guide that gives you such in-depth coverage of this fast-changing country, with recommended accommodations in every price category. You'll visit rugged wilderness preserves and sleepy beach towns, spectacular orchid gardens and mineral hot springs at the foot of a steaming volcano. There are adventures here to suit all ages and abilities: swooping from treetop platform to treetop platform on a canopy tour, taking a dip in a jungle swimming hole, spotting playful spider monkeys as you hike through lush foliage, windsurfing on Lake Arenal, or watching endangered sea turtles nest on the beach. With Frommer's in hand, you'll experience the wonder of Costa Rica's amazing biodiversity, as we point out the best places to see hundreds of unique, colorful species of animals and plants. You'll even get a color fold-out map!

 Great guide September 4, 2008
I came back from Costa Rica a week ago and this guide was very useful, It's very accurate and precise, descriptions in the book gives you a perfect idea of what you are going to find. Highly recommended.
excellent source for Costa Rica July 28, 2008
This book was great! It took us all through Costa Rica with much comfort and fun. Very thorough: giving you options for towns to visit, resteraunts to eat at, activities to do, so that you may choose based on your general preferences and personality, your level of fitness, the degree to which you value cleanliness, the degree to which you value comfort, etc... I felt like I got a full picture of beautiful Costa Rica from this book and was able to pick and choose what i wanted to do and where i wanted to go based on dependable guidance. Negative point: The descriptions of how horrible the driving conditions were greatly exagerated, as were the descritions of lack-of -safety in the country.
Very complete travel guide December 31, 2007
The Frommer's travel books are very comprehensive, full of information on hotels, resorts, restaurants, shopping, etc. for your travel destination. Also notes what to avoid. I have always found them very helpful.
