Costa Rica Cost Of Living Update: Total to fill up SUV gas tank- $70 Total to fill up scooter- $6 (and much more fun to ride)
Every once in a while one wishes to stay at the $350 a night resort. The ones with the state of the art fitness center, the luxurious spa, and the fancy swim up bars. But we found a way around it since $350 is too steep for us. We politely ask the manager if we eat lunch at their restaurant will they let us use the pool. 90% of the time they will say yes, especially if it slow and they want to fill some seats in the dining room.
I have floated in spectacular infinity pools, soaked in the most relaxing hot tubs, and enjoyed the greatest views. All for the price of a turkey sandwich.
I got my ticket, heading down on the 7th of Feb… can’t wait.
No clue as to where I am staying, so not important to me right now 🙂
Ordering your second book in AM.. to lazy to get up and get my wallet, loved the first one.
Thanks Patrick. If you pick an area, let me know. Perhaps I can recommend a hotel.
Going to stay at a hotel for a couple nights get my bearings and start looking for an apartment… Would love the beach except don’t care for living with out AC and from all I have read the cost of electricity is pretty high… Mountains look like the place for me
How I love pool hopping in Costa Rica!! Though, I’ve never asked for permission. If I so much as order a drink, I hop right in. Oops?! 🙂
You are so much like my husband. So many times he says he asks, but I always wonder if he actually did.
Scooter is vey fun!
