Audley in Costa Rica
Costa Rica is one of the most visited countries in Central America and is becoming ‘Americanised’ in places: it can be tough to avoid the numerous people and large-chain hotels that have sprung up. However, our specialists have travelled extensively throughout the country to find the smaller individually-owned lodges and less travelled areas. Even with the country’s advanced development the roads can be pretty rough so we ensure all our drivers are skilled and used to the road conditions, but be ready for an occasional bumpy ride. Despite the relatively small size of Costa Rica at times we may suggest internal flights for some journeys.
Accommodation
Costa Rica offers a good selection of hotels and on the whole there is something to suit most people’s taste and budget. Where possible we try to avoid the chain-type hotels and suggest locally owned eco-lodges. There are numerous beach options along the Pacific coast, but we have specifically chosen those we feel best represent the country. In the more isolated areas such as the Osa Peninsula and beaches along the Caribbean coast, accommodation options are less developed and of a more simple style, but fantastically located.
