    I have lived in Costa Rica for almost two years. If you are looking for the least expensive country to move to or vacation in. It ain't CR. Not that CR is expensive, no but there are cheaper places.
    We live in the Central Valley. San Jose is maybe the most expensive. Yet if you are a good shopper there are still deals. Beach towns Well DUH, they can be pricey. There are still some great bars and fantastic food. We make a beach run every 5 or 6 weeks. Jaco, Manual Antonio, and Playa del Coco are our favorites. They are on the Pacific side. Porta Viejo on the Caribbean side is Ok also.
    The country is beautiful, the people are great and year-round you can't top the weather.

    Hello I am a tico add some advice for anyone who wants to visit Costa Rica or any other country for that matter if you want to experience the food and culture of where you're visiting avoid the really fancy places or the places that look nice and like it's from a first world country because the food will be far more expensive and will be more for the foreigners you want to go where the locals go not were the foreigners go and feel free to ask any Costa Rican about their favorite places to go and things to do locally because that is the best way for you to find out what is fun and were to go

I went to see the spheres down in Palmar Norte, stopped for an early dinner there, beef filet dinner, a boneless chicken breast in a cream sauce, and big BBQ pork ribs, all with great sides, 3 big fruit smoothies. Total bill: $27,000 colones ($41 USD or $52.00 Cdn)

      I neglected to add that this meal was for 3 adults. 3 full meals with a large fruit drink for $14 each, is not much, but that depends on your income level I would assume. Things have increased here since then, simply because the recent lose of the value of the US, or any other currency to the strength of the Costa Rican Colon.
