Shopping/Tips in Costa Rica
 

This is our first trip to CR. We are staying at Paradisus Playa Conchal. Any tips on shopping or great things to do in this area?

If that is the former Melia Conchal...there aren't any shops around..There are two gift stores near the airport that a van will take you with other people I believe. If you get a chance nd go into town..there is a little market..buy lots of coffee..make sure it's puro (no sugar) and we buy the beans for our coffee loving friends and at the airport they sell a coffe liquer that is good.. For more info on the Conchal write me [email protected] ....we spent a great week there a few years ago...loved the place

Probably the best all inclusive on the coast! You will love it. For shopping and an evening/afternoon out, go to Tamarindo, some great little restaurants and shops. If you want to see animals while floating up a river on a pontoon boat just ask at the front desk for the Palo verdi river tour. Try to book the first morning tour before the animals move back inland. I have some friends here that do this tour and this is their suggestion! Another great tour is sailing/fishing/snorkeling on The Shannon, moored in Flamingo. Mark is the captain and offer wonderful tours. Have fun!<BR>Michael<BR>[email protected]
