Any experiences in central america here? Costa Rica?

9. I went there a couple of years ago

I went to the Pacific side which I’m told is different climate-wise compared to the Caribbean side. I went in January which is reportedly a good time to go. The weather was excellent. We stayed in an all inclusive adults only resort and I stayed at least half drunk most of the time. So perhaps not what you are looking for. My experience was that Costa Rica has a pretty good tourist trade, and most involved in it speak English well. I speak a little Spanish, but it wasn’t really needed because we didn’t go outside the resort much outside of a tour group.

We took a day trip to Nicaragua which was well worth it, but there’s a big difference between the two economies.
