Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

It will be dry season -summer time- so we are hoping it will be sunny and between 80°F and 95°F in Guanacaste. If you're planning on seeing more of Costa Rica after the wedding weekend, the weather will be different depending on where you're going.

Question

Will I need cash in Costa Rica?

Answer

They will accept your credit card almost everywhere you go in Costa Rica. Getting some colones (the CR currency) could be useful to get an ice cream at the beach or pay at the few places where they don't accept cards. Be mindful of the exchange rate: if you end up not using your colones, you'll lose a big percentage exchanging them back to dollars.

Question

is tipping a thing in costa rica?

Answer

Service fees are already included in your bill at restaurants, so tipping is not expected. You could tip some services like porters, guest attendants at the hotel or shuttle drivers.
