Question

Should I bring cash?

Answer

Normally when traveling I don't bring much cash with me, and instead plan to take money out via ATMs at my destination (because it's the best exchange rate). In this case, I'd recommend bringing cash with you as there is no ATM in the arrivals terminal at the airport. You can exchange it to Costa Rican Colones in in advance, or many places accept US dollars and credit cards. There is an ATM in Manuel Antonio as well if needed, but I wouldn't rely too heavily on it. Bring $20 bills or smaller (larger denominations are harder to spend because there problems with counterfeit 50s and 100s).
