It will be dry season -summer time- so we are hoping it will be sunny and between 75°F and 90°F in Guanacaste.

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.
