Before You Go

Make sure that you have a valid passport.

Costa Rica accepts America dollars, but you may also want to bring some Costa Rica colones. Ordering them from your bank can often be cheaper than converting dollars at the airport.

Bring sunscreen, bathing suit(s), flip flops, and comfortable shoes for hiking.

There is a laundry service available at the resort for $10 per load.
