Costa Rica in general is one of my favorite places. The country has one of the most diverse landscapes, from beach to volcanos and rain forest, etc. Costa Ricans are very friendly and welcoming of Black people. I never felt out of place. 10/10 Recommend. The only thing I would say could be better is the food. I’m not a fan.

In the summer of 2021 I travelled to Guanacaste, Costa Rica and LOVED IT. We stayed at the Planet Holywood, yes it’s an all inclusive BUT that doesn’t mean we stayed behind the gates! While in Costa Rica we booked a private tour of the area, saw a volcano, explored swinging bridges and plush flora, basked in hot springs, and ate local cuisine. We also rode horses, jet skied, and felt totally at home! Everyone we encountered was warm and welcoming. We can’t wait to go back!
