Coming down for ten day's in August(4th-13th) and i've booked the first 4 days in SJ but i also want to go the beach too, should i reserve a room now before i leave or will i be able to find one when i'm there?I just don't want to get caught with no place to stay!

Just4me,

There is a wealth of information in these forums. I have spent lots of hours reading the posts. Very entertaining and informative. I am trying to get the most out of my time in CR, while reducing the possibility for newbie mistakes (save time, heartache and money.)

Use the "Search" function and my guess is all you need to know is already at your fingertips. The vets do appreciate newbies reading what they have already taken time to write. Being new, we look goofy for asking before researching.

The CRT vets' experience is priceless, invest some serious time in researching and you will be glad. Trust me, you will laugh your a## off reading what these guys post.

Cheers!

If you are going to Jaco, and its a weekend you may want to arrange advance reservations. Its so close to San Jose that lots of people from the city head there for the weekend. This is the off season, so you shouldn't have much trouble finding quarters during the week at the various beach locations. Like the previous poster said, there is lots of info here on the board, so just dig through it to find a list of hotels in the beach areas. Also, the CRT card should more than pay for itself on just one visit. Hope you have a great trip, and remember "no cien!"

Avoid the extra stress, book ahead. If you get in early in the day, it's less of a problem.

Thanks guy's i have been reseaching alot........maybe too much now i can't decide where i want to stay lol. I know for sure my first few day's i wanna be in the gulch for obvious reasons but then i wanna hit a beach and chill out and since i'm gonna be mongering every step of the way i guess jaco is where i need to go but i've heard bad things about the beach so i'm not sure yet ....... (at this point helpfull people pls respond) I've seached for Hotels in jaco but i won't be leavin SJ till monday i wonder, would it be safe to just wait till that day to check things out before getting a place to stay? I need help ( any cheap head docs in CR ) lol

If you haven't been to the other beaches in Costa Rica, you will probably think Jaco is just fine. My personal favorite is the 3rd beach in Manuel Antonio Park, by Quepos. Others swear by the Guanacaste beaches. Where to stay is largely a function of budget. Maybe you should give the guys a price range, and they would be more able to help. Be prepared to expect lots of rain at the coast this time of year.

I figure on spending about 100 bucks a day on rooms although i'd rather not but i have budgeted it that way to be safe.
