Cost of an All-Inclusive Vacation to Costa Rica?
Calculating the cost of a n all-inclusive vacation to Costa Rica can be tricky.
Because Costa Rica is a developing country, some visitors are stunned by the fact that it's not a cheap vacation destination. This is due to a variety of factors, one of which is Costa Rica’s outstanding public health, education, and social security systems.
When attempting to decide your trip budget, here are some factors you need to consider:
Timing. This is the #1 variable that impacts the cost of a Costa Rica all-inclusive vacation. The difference in prices for both flights and lodging vary greatly based on time of year. It also helps massively if you plan more than 6 months in advance, as both airlines and hotels use dynamic pricing based on changes in demand. In general, the travel season breaks down as follows:
- Low Season: June, September, October
- Mid Season: May, July, August, November, early December
- High Season: late December, January, February, March, April
- Peak Season: Christmas, New Year, Spring Break, Easter
Lodging. Costa Rica has a wide range of lodging options, from hostels and value lodges to ultra-luxury, five-star hotels. We tend to categorize the lodging we offer as follows. Keep in mind that rates for lodging vary widely based on time of year.
- Value: from $169 per night
- Affordable: from $199 per night
- Moderate: from $259 per night
- Luxury: from $379 per night
- Wow: from $549 per night
Tours. Similar to lodging, tours and excursions can vary wildly by type, destination, and degree of quality. But for reference, a typical tour tends to cost around $99 per person. Fancier, more complex, or private tours can cost $199 per person or more.
Transportation. Varying modes of domestic transportation can have a significant impact on total trip cost. Taking a public bus is the cheapest way to get around. A small rental car can be a good value in some cases. Shared ground transportation is a good value for budget travelers. A private driver is perhaps the most expensive, but can also be the most relaxing and safest. In some cases taking a domestic flight may not be much more expensive than land transport. The most expensive way to get around is a private charter or for shorter routes, helicopter. Getting your transportation logistics dialed in is an essential part of a high quality, all-inclusive vacation package to Costa Rica.
Destinations. The more and farther you move around, the more it costs. It pays to familiarize yourself with a map of Costa Rica and get a feel for distances and driving times. Selecting the correct combination, order, and number of destinations is another key ingredient in designing an outstanding Costa Rica all-inclusive package.
International Flights. International flight ticket prices can be costly, so planning ahead counts. Check out our section on flights to Costa Rica for tips and tricks.
