Jaco has the reputation of being a beach side party town. While the parties may last late into the night, party scene here is far from that of Panama City Beach during spring break. The partying here happens at the Costa Rican speed of things, which if you have never been to Costa Rica before, is slow….very slow. To sum it up in a few words; Jaco offers clean and beautiful beaches, plenty of nightlife, and a laid back atmosphere.

Lets face it, there are just some Spanish phrases that your high school Spanish teacher didn’t share with you. I would argue that the ability to order food in Spanish is no less important than how to cuss out cab driver that is trying to rip you off. Likewise, it is just as important to know when your cab driver is cussing you out because it is probably a sign that he is going to rip you off. So whether you want to know how to talk trash or just be aware of when someone does it to you, this post will help teach you what your Spanish teacher didn’t.

Remember that famous Disney movie Treasure Island (yes I know it was book as well)? Did you wonder if ever such a pirate hideaway existed? Not only does it exist, but it is located off the coast of Costa Rica. It is belived that Isla de Cocos is the very island that inspired the novel, Treasure Island. Although there has never been any actuall treasure found on the island, there are plenty of myths, legends and stories that say otherwise. It is these stories and the amazing scenery that bring people to this pirate hideaway every year.

Casa Alfi Hotel - San Jose
Rates: US$30 Single
Casa Alfi Hotel Website
There is no shortage of hotels or hostels in San Jose. The problem with most of them is that they are lacking in many areas. Some of the hostels in San Jose may be nice and safe, but far from everything. Others will be in a nice area, but the rooms will resemble jail cells more than a hotel room. Then their is the price to take into account. Many of the really nice hotels are really expensive, but with one exception, Casa Alfi Hotel.
