Hello I am a tico add some advice for anyone who wants to visit Costa Rica or any other country for that matter if you want to experience the food and culture of where you're visiting avoid the really fancy places or the places that look nice and like it's from a first world country because the food will be far more expensive and will be more for the foreigners you want to go where the locals go not were the foreigners go and feel free to ask any Costa Rican about their favorite places to go and things to do locally because that is the best way for you to find out what is fun and were to go

@mikehappy2620 2 года назад

I have lived in Costa Rica for almost two years. If you are looking for the least expensive country to move to or vacation in. It ain't CR. Not that CR is expensive, no but there are cheaper places. We live in the Central Valley. San Jose is maybe the most expensive. Yet if you are a good shopper there are still deals. Beach towns Well DUH, they can be pricey. There are still some great bars and fantastic food. We make a beach run every 5 or 6 weeks. Jaco, Manual Antonio, and Playa del Coco are our favorites. They are on the Pacific side. Porta Viejo on the Caribbean side is Ok also. The country is beautiful, the people are great and year-round you can't top the weather.

Costa Rica has gotten very expensive the exchange rate recently was 523 colons per dollar. No free refills on coffee 13% tax on everything. Plus 10% added in restaurants for tip land of pura Vida comes at a high cost

Yes, that's a travel tip! eat where the locals do!

@rudolphparedes9856 2 года назад

Very extremely reasonable prices for food..!!!! Food looks delicious and the orange juice I bet tasted Like real orange!!!! The view is amazing and the restaurant looked cute…! CR is just encantadora and inexpensive and full of everything you want… CR is your best bet for a beautiful and inexpensive and memorable vacation

@TheDufresnes 2 года назад

Yes for the quality of food the pricing is reasonable, the problem is most people compare the price here to places in Asia or Nicaragua. Yes it's more expensive but you get what you pay for. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven't already 😊

Tamarindo is completely different and very busy with tourists. If you enjoy Samara you will only enjoy Tamarindo for a couple of days. You should just come back to Samara and stay with us at Sea Casa.

@talanspittler8376 2 месяца назад

Love the revisit of places I hung out when I was staying at Sea asa in Samara. I went to see the spheres down in Palmar Norte, stopped for an early dinner there, beef filet dinner, a boneless chicken breast in a cream sauce, and big BBQ pork ribs, all with great sides, 3 big fruit smoothies. Total bill: $27,000 colones ($41 USD or $52.00 Cdn)

@cyberblock7619 2 года назад

Wow thats expensive 😲

@Bachata-p1d 9 месяцев назад

Разве такое вообще можно есть ?

@donmorrow1923 9 месяцев назад

I neglected to add that this meal was for 3 adults. 3 full meals with a large fruit drink for $14 each, is not much, but that depends on your income level I would assume. Things have increased here since then, simply because the recent lose of the value of the US, or any other currency to the strength of the Costa Rican Colon.

@stevenhuffman9032 2 года назад

Wow guys. $27 for breakfast at Sheriffs? How many coffees did you have?

@TheDufresnes 2 года назад

We had 2 each plus the juice and the side of avacado

@shaynadufresne 2 года назад

Let's be real Steve...you need more than one of those little coffees when you're there! I could have gone for a 3rd actually! 😂 It was also my fault for putting the bill over the top with that beautiful side of avocado...but again, it's personally another must with my breakfasts! 😋
