Costa Rica Cheap Vacation

Planning a vacation can be tough sometimes even with a pocket full of money.
 Here are some tips to help you identify costs and plan your trip.

In order to plan a budget vacation first you must determine the level of lodging you require, the activities you want to include, and the environment you most enjoy.
Costa Rica budget vacations are not that hard to plan if you take a logical approach to break down the components of the trip.

Sometimes you can reduce costs to stretch a short vacation into a longer one with less frills. Here are some options to consider and links to other pages providing information to help plan a Costa Rica budget vacation.

Airfare for Costa Rica budget vacations

How flexible are you in your planning? Direct flights can cost more than connections but always plan at least three weeks in advance. If you are flexible, try bidding on tickets at Priceline or use Travelocity flexible date option to search out airfare deals.

Be careful because some of these deals can require an overnight stay somewhere other than your intended destination. Remember that discount airfare means that changes to your schedule can be costly.

Here are a few options for you to consider :

Camping
Camping in Costa Rica is common. Safety and comfort will require planning however. Safety refers to keeping your possessions by not leaving them unattended and comfort is associated with mosquito netting and choosing an area that is cool enough at night to be able to sleep.

Believe it or not, Florida has more mosquitoes than Costa Rica since the eco-system balances itself here due to bats and other wildlife that feed on mosquitoes and other bugs. But, there are mosquitoes as well as other critters you won't find in major metropolitan areas!

Our Costa Rica surfing page lists beaches allowing camping. Camping is also allowed in certain national parks like Manuel Antonio on the central Pacific coast and on the southern Caribbean coast.

Bed and Breakfasts

I love bed and breakfasts! Unless you plan to stay at a ritzy Costa Rica all inclusive resort or need a pool for the kids, then a bed and breakfast will provide a homey atmosphere and information from local proprietors you will not receive from the clerk at a hotel. Prices vary substantially as do amenities so make sure to scope out the place to keep from being surprised.
