A well-researched sustainability rating highlights lodgings that are active in protecting an environmental, economic, and cultural balance.

Indispensable Guide to Costa Rica
'The New Key to Costa Rica' is the best guide/travel book on this Central American country I've found yet. I'm contemplating moving to Costa Rica and am planning my first trip later this year. Beatrice apparently updates this guide every other year to keep it current. There is a great focus on eco-friendly traveling and she can personally help you design a trip to your specifications. This book is chock full of practical information on everything you could ever want to know about Costa Rica. Look no further if you want the best guide for this country.
A must read for CR relocators!
We have been to CR for a visit and are now considering the BIG move. This book covers every you would need to know and surprises you with information you didn't think of. We have even shared this information with our family that has lived there for 5 years and it has helped them. It also gave a brief but interesting history of Costa Rica as well as current government, economics and culture. Does a good job of explaining the cultural differences which are most important to the person considering a move anywhere! One thing I might stress... the author states several times that English is taught in the schools. This might lead you to believe that you will have little problem with communication. In our trip last year to the Central Valley and the Pacific Coast we did not meet one person that understood us or could speak to us in English. I highly advise, begin you Spanish Lessons before your anticipated trip!
Great Guide!
This guide was the better of the two I bought....and the other one was Fodor's. New Key was accurate, impartial, and covered lots of different kinds of stuff....
