Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Zapotal?
The best time to visit Zapotal, Guanacaste is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days with very little rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where Zapotal is located, benefits from steady temperatures, typically in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius. This period is superb for those looking to relax by the ocean, try watersports, or explore the natural surroundings without the interruption of daily downpours.The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. While there might be occasional rain showers, especially in the afternoons, these are often brief and the landscape is lusher. You might also find slightly fewer crowds and potentially better value on accommodation during these times.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
