We didn’t think we could explore so much of Costa Rica with our budget, but Anywhere pulled it off amazingly. All the exciting excursions and relaxing days by the beach are in our memories forever.
The ultimate vacation in Costa Rica…
My partner and I were looking to book a long vacation in Costa Rica, exploring as much as we could with our limited budget. We went to Puerto Viejo de Limon, Tortuguero, Arenal, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio. We were happy about Anywhere’s recommendations for budget lodgings that would allow us to splurge a day or two at Laguna Lodge Tortuguero.
The friendliest Ticos…
Our driver from Guapiles to Arenal was exceptional. Throughout the entire three hours, he was able to share a lot of interesting information about the country that entertained us for the whole trip. In Playa Espadilla, we met who we believe to be the friendliest and most open Ticos from the entire trip. Fernando and Carlos rent jet skis and inflatable boats on the beach. We had a great time chatting and they gave us great tips on how to have the most fun with water sports. I’d definitely recommend any travelers to try it out and have a chance to mingle with the locals.
