F.A.Q

Costa Rica’s official currency is the Colón. The exchange rate averages between 530-550 colones to the dollar. However, US dollars are generally accepted in all areas save for some smaller pueblos. If you do spend US dollars, keep in mind that you will receive your change in colones. It is recommended that you bring denominations of $20 or less as higher denominations are often not accepted in local shops and markets. It is not recommended to change money at the airport.

There is no need to buy plastic bottles of water, just bring your favorite water bottle and refill at the filtered water station. All water on the property goes through two filters before reaching the rooms and kitchen, and then continues through a diverse filtration process complete with restoring any beneficial minerals pulled out during the filtering, before reaching our water station.

Your passport must have at least 6 months validity remaining to enter the country.  You must also show your return ticket.

The country uses 120V, 60Hz current, and the same for wall outlets. This is the same as the US, so guests from the US will not need adaptors.

Guests should bring clothes for active daytime, such as hiking sandals/shoes, yoga clothes, beachwear, swimwear, flip flops and casual wear such as; shorts, sundresses, tank tops and anything made of a light gauzy material. The nights can be chilly (more so during green season) so a light jacket, or a loose fitting long sleeve top and light pants are recommended. We also recommend a rain jacket or poncho during green season.
