Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing and discouraging guide to Costa Rica
Review: The only positive thing I can say about this book is that the photographs are excellent. The content, leaves much to be desired. The author, Fiona Dunlap spends much of this book complaining and insulting - from bad road conditions to long lines, it's negative all around. Ms. Dunlap definitely give the impression that she greatly disliked her stay in Costa Rica. Very disappointing.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Useless and Wrong Information
Review: This guide is useless. The information in this book is for the most part worthless. The driving times in the book were wrong. The guide said Juno Beach was 45 minutes from San Jose. It took us two hours to get there and we went the speed limit. The author doesn't even seem to enjoy Costa Rica. She complains about everything in Costa Rica. Save your money and buy a guide worth something.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just an average travel book
Review: We used the book religiously on our trip to Costa Rica. It was helpful in finding some of the best areas, but we relied on help from the locals to find the good stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An absolute treasure of a travel guide!
Review: When touring Costa Rica, it is very difficult to eliminate options.... the country is so beautiful, the topography so diverse. This book zeroes right in on the best, the 'must see' and 'highly recommended' attractions. It also offers a wonderful assortment of colored photographs.

I highly recommend this travel guide, especially for a first-time traveler to Costa Rica, or one who has limited time to explore the wonders of this diverse and enchanting environment!
