Summary: Costa Rica was excellent, but Fodor's04 needs to be updated
Comment: My wife and I just returned from the Guanacaste Province, staying at NW Pacific resort. The vacation was great, but "Fodor's 04" was of little or no help. I thoroughly enjoy planning my vacation and activities well in advance of the actual trip, but was very much unable to do so with this book.
My impression of the book is that it has been slow to be updated, with the 04 version containing little beyond 2000. At the same time it seems to focus on travelers planning to tour Costa Rica staying at a different hotel/lodge/resort/camp each night. I realize that many of the natural attractions of this beautiful country are unchanged over the years, but a significant portion of a vacation includes items that do change, especially in a country such as Costa Rica where tourism is the leading industry, and is rapidly growing.

Summary: put together with care
Comment: I appreciate guide books that are put together with care, appreciate writing that is fun and interesting and highly informative. "Fodor's Costa Rica 2004" is an inexpensive book and a terrific one!
It was the best book on the country besides the considerably more pricey, "Costa Rica: The Last Country The Gods Made," a welcome addition to any library collection that will capture the interest of travelers, amateur geologists, students, and conservationists .

Summary: Just got back from Guanacaste...
Comment: ...and found the Fodors guide indispensible. Costa Rica is an amazing place, but a guidebook is definitely necessary. We stayed mostly in the Tamarindo area. Fodors writers really know their stuff as their recommendations were right on. We booked our activities (like sport fishing) with the recommended guides/programs were clearly the best. The restaurant reviews were also accurate. Probably the best advice comes in driving. Fodors recommends a 4WD auto if you rent - a great call! There are some exceptionally bad roads in CR! Enjoy your trip!
