Dreams III’s guidebook

1. Sturdy hard sole flip-flops - couple of pairs - you'll need them - sand, water, mud, gravel, stones - you may not easily find the right ones for you in town 2.

Print outs / smart phone snapshots of all relevant documents like passports, Health Pass QR code (with your name on top), Health Insurance documents, 3rd party liability car rental insurance policy (if you have one)

The everyday sunset on the beach :) The Saturday farmer’s market The Thursday night market The food market "El Mercadito" Fried red snapper and mahi-mahi ceviche Local draft beer and rum Centenario Catamaran party in the ocean Massage on the beach Coco-loco on the beach

Everything imported is normally more expensive than you use to buy it back home.

Pura Vida is a universal phrase and could mean many things: hi, hello, good morning, good day, good evening, good night, thank you, see you later, I'm OK, I don't want, so yeah I figured that depending on the intonation could imply positive or not that positive reaction :)

Mañana does not necessarily mean tomorrow, could be any day in the near future :)

Tico is a local person, gringo is you (even if you are from another Latin American country)

"Hola" is not that much used by the ticos. They are polite and educated friendly people. Furthermore, If you are Spanish language insider you should use the "usted" form.
