This will be my first time to CR. All I have booked is my room at SL for the first night. I'll be in town 8 days, need somewhere cool to watch the game Thursday night and Sunday afternoon. I've been going a little OCD trying to plan logistics. What would you guys say are the "must see" things this time of the year? CR Independence Day takes place the day I arrive. Is this worth seeing?
SL is a great place to watch the games. Best I know of. So if you can extend your stay there I would do that. If you can't extend there the Amistad is a block away, great place to stay, and you could come back to SL to watch games or watch at Amistad possibly. Not sure if they can bring it in on their TV, but SL is close.
As for "must see" not sure what sorts of things you are interested in. But hook up with someone at SL and walk or cab over to Del Rey, and down to Taormina perhaps, and try a session at Monicas. Lots of info on all of these is you search those terms on this forum. And for a tour do the Poas volcano/park and the waterfall/butterfly place, usually tour does both plus stop at a coffee farm to buy whatever you want there. A nice day tour.
For overnight tours there are lots of options...check at the desk at the SL they have brochures for lots of different tours.
