I am staying at the SL and have been reading up on the whole money thing. I was planning to pay for meals and hotel with credit cards. I see a lot of conversations about paying for hotels in dollars and meals in colones. Is plastic something I shouldn't plan on using to pay for some of my expenses? I realize for the ladies it is hard currency.

Thanks!

If staying in San Juan I don't know, but if staying in San Jose, Costa Rica I recommend paying for everything in Colones. Plenty of ATMs around. Less chance of getting over charged or CC number lifted.

It is ok to pay for your room and food with a credit card at the SL. I always Use Colones or dollars everywhere else.
