I’m thinking about taking a 2 week trip to Costa Rica, a few days in San Jose, 7-9 days in Jaco and then a few days in San Jose before flying home. Does anyone know of hotels that have reliable wifi in those cities? If not a hotel, any place in town I can work with a laptop so I do not have to burn vacation? I know Cocal doesn’t. In San Jose, I’ve heard Sportmans is not reliable enough for work, anyone heard anything about Castillo, or any other hotel in SJ WiFi reliability?

I thought Castillo's wifi was good recently but I only used it for email and web surfing.

Thank you Saltyron for the work center located near SML's. I have it bookmarked for possible future use.

Daily hot desk for $12/day. Private meeting room for $12/hour.

From Celina's FAQ section:

'Yes! Digital nomads and remote workers love our destination in San Jose because of the reliable and good WiFi connection. Our state of the art coworking space has access to high-speed internet that’s ideal for catching up on emails, joining a conference call with your team, or starting a fresh project from scratch.'

Depends on what you need to do. Video conferencing can be an issue anywhere, upload speeds are notoriously low. Voice calls should be mostly ok, and you'll have no issue with email. There are Selina cowork spaces in San Jose as well. One is a block from Sportsmens.

It's so nice to just have blazing 5G data service that works great in Costa Rica and everywhere else in the world.

It's nice to have my cell phone work from the moment the plane lands on the ground and as I uber it up everywhere in San Jose and Jose.

It's nice never to have to buy a Kobi or a Claro.

It's nice for to get phone calls on my US line while in Costa Rica.

It's also great to just have fast Internet that always phucking works everywhere.

I am so happy that crappy WiFi is someone else's problem and never ever my problem.

$10 for 1,000 MB is just fine, even with streaming for a week in Costa Rica.

1GB is 90 minutes of SD Video Streaming, or a 45 minute Zoom call, or up to 3GB/hour for webex. It's nice that you do so little online that Google Fi works for you, but for anyone with real bandwidth requirements, $10/GB is going to add up fast.

Fi is unlimited for $70/month, and in Costa Rica that is actual 5G output, very good bandwidth.

I don't think most people live in an webinar, or stream HD video for more than a few hours a day.

But for power users, $70 for 22 GB of monthly 5G data or on the cheap end, $10/1GB is going to take care of a large segment of the population.

I think google fi has a price cap of 6gig, regardless of how much you use
