10 years ago I couldn't believe the prices and would brag to my friends back home as to how cheap it was. Haven't done that for years now. Nicaragua is much cheaper now.Just spent a week in Tamarindo. Awesome locals, great food, great beaches, lots to do. What's not to love? The gringos seem to be driving the prices up a bit though. Not as cheap as I thought but still reasonable.

I just back from San Juan Del Sur Nicaragua. Beers are half the price as CR and overall things are 50% cheaper. Hotel room that used to be $12 a night is now $24 but that is possibly because they are filming Survivor San Juan Del Sur right now.It's funny you mention Nicaragua. I saw a lot of Nicaraguans in the sugar fields and they even had a baseball field set up. Their pay I guess is much higher in CR.
