    Money

    Arrival in Costa Rica has ATMs at airports.

    Wifi & Cell Service

    Depending on your service provider, cell service is available in Costa Rica. If desired, contact your service provider to set up an international calling plan ahead of your trip, to avoid large roaming overages. Wifi is available at our hotel, in common areas and rooms. Some cafes on the island also have wifi. Please note that we strive to keep our common spaces free for centering, relaxing, and socializing. Consider this an opportunity to let your digital devices go to sleep, so you can wake up!

    Power Adaptor

    Electrical outlets are standard European two-prong socket, ‘C adapter’. All rooms have hair dryers.

    Yoga Mats & Props

    Our yoga room is fully stocked with mats. If you are very particular about a certain mat, and you have room in your luggage, we advise bringing only a thin travel mat to lay over the studio mat.

    Villa Amenities

    Your room will have an en-suite bath, a hairdryer, a private balcony. Bathrobe, slippers, and pool towels are offered in the room. You may want to bring your own favorite small shampoo, soap & conditioner, but both hotels have their own special amenities they supply for your daily needs.

    Tips & Gratuities

    As a courtesy, we strongly encourage tipping your Tour Hero guide who will be with you from start to finish, local tour guides, and your driver. While it is not mandatory, It is highly recommended. When on your own, please note Costa Rica does not have a strong tipping culture, so most times it is not expected. When dining, for great service you may want to leave a little extra in a tip jar or for a server. For a server, make sure it is not already added to the bill and leave cash, as some servers may not receive a tip you leave on the credit card. You may also round up to the nearest Euro for a taxi driver or offer a Euro or two to a driver or porter who carried your bags.

  • Will  the operator take care of my visa (if applicable)?
    Travelers are responsible for researching visa requirements and obtaining a visa if needed. Please check government websites to ensure you have the necessary documents, along with passport requirements, before your departure date. This includes necessary transit visas, permits, and vaccinations required prior to travel and any required reciprocity fees for the destination. We will provide a booking confirmation document after purchase, which may be needed to obtain a visa. If your visa is denied for any reason, TourHero will issue a refund based on the cancellation policy. However, we are unable to provide a refund after the cancellation due date has passed.

    Do I need a passport for this trip?
    A full and valid passport is required for all persons traveling to any destination outside of one’s home country. Most international tours require a passport that's valid for at least six (6) months beyond the scheduled end of your Itinerary.  Refunds will not be issued based on passport issues such as renewals or lost passports.
