Review: Very informative, TINY fonts - Very informative but very difficult to read. They’re trying to cram so much information on each page that the type face is minuscule. I use reading glasses and don’t normally have a problem with a normal 6-8 font but this book causes strain even with glasses. I would rather the book be a little larger or their baby less info on each page Review: Four Stars - Good book to have.

Light on Details and Coverage
This guide is a fairly bare bones guide to Costa Rica. It has some good information, but could be better organized and have better explanations of how it chooses the places it recommends. It also doesn't include some highlights of places to visit and things to do. If you're looking for a really good guide to CR, look hard for other guides. Note -- you should bring a physical guide book to CR instead of just relying on online guides.

Accurate and up to date
Accurate and updated in 2017, so even price guidelines are useful. This is combined with Trip Advisor website is all I need to plan a great independent trip to Costa Rica.
