A bit overpriced for the quality experience. Our 2 story unit AC did not work well on the first floor so we had to all sleep upstairs. All inclusive food and drinks were not the greatest.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Nicoya Peninsula during the COVID-19 outbreak?
With new safety guidelines in effect, travel looks a little different at the moment. Here are some useful things to know before you pack your bags for Nicoya Peninsula:
  • Know the restrictions and rules in both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so check government advisories before booking.
  • Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
  • Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Remove personal items from your pocket, like your keys, phone and wallet, and place them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
