  • not impressed, bad experience
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/21/08
    I did not like the city of San Jose (dirty, bad Roads) pleople were not very friendly and drive like maniacs. coming back from Jaco, me and my 2 friends took a lonely road, a Guy who we asked for directions, blocked the road ahead minutes later with two other guys in another car. in a very malicious way, we manage to scape but promised never to come back. this has been so far the scariest experience I have ever had while traveling.

    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/04/08
    As many know the Capital of Costa Rica is San José, Costa Rica. Little do people know though, Cartago was the original capital of Costa Rica until 1823. San José is the most vibrant city of Costa Rica and it is somewhat the "new York City" of Costa Rica. You can find virtually anything you wish to see in San José with an abundance of ...

  • If you want adventure you'll find it
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/14/08
    I travel to Costa Rica a few times a year. My wife is also Costa Rican. When going to San Jose you are taking unnessary risks on your life. If you want to get out of the city and adventure around you will have a good time. But always keep you eyes open!

  • Refreshingly Wild
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/30/07
    I go to Costa Rica for Dental work, and have saved over $10,000 while getting excellent work. My favorite place to stay is at Big Mikes Guest House in Los Anonos in Escazu, about $150 a week and much better than a hotel. Travel around the country is cheap, and everything from shopping, adventures, dining and more excite the most demanding desires. ...

  • Best Costa Rican Hotel
    By Lawrence, 02/19/07
    My husband and I just returned on Friday and we stayed at the Casa Conde Hotel & Suites in San Jose, CR. It was amazing. It is approximately 25 minutes from the SJO Airport. The hotel staff was excellent. Ask for Veronica and Randall. The hotel is not in city center but it is best that way. You are only a few minutes from restaurants and ...
