San José Travel Tips
San José travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • A cheap, afforadable, and last time I was there... safe place to stay in San Jose was the Costa Rica Backpackers. They have a pool, and TV room, and of course kitchens, and hammocks outside. It ran about $8.00 a night.  Elizabeth H.
  • Visiting a coffee plantacion is a must!  Ingrid D.
  • I really didn't enjoy this place and the only redeeming thing here was a person I met who helped us out. If you are spending anytime in Costa Rica, just use this place as a transit point. The country side is so much better than this place.  Michael M.
