Planning a visit to Costa Rica? Here are some valuable tips to enhance your stay while discovering hidden gems.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Over 60% of San Jose hotels focus on sustainability - like Grano De Oro Hotel, which features a rooftop garden and eco-friendly practices.
Local Hack: Inquire about 'pura vida' perks - many hotels provide complimentary coffee or breakfast for guests who engage with staff about local culture.
Hidden Gem: Just 12 minutes from San Jose's busy tourist areas, the Museo de Oro Precolombino showcases stunning gold artifacts from Costa Rica's pre-Columbian civilizations, often overlooked by visitors.
Smart Tip: Consider booking stays during the low season (May to November) to save up to 30% on hotel rates, as fewer tourists make this a budget-friendly opportunity.
