Get to know what the locals pay because there are different rates that taxis like to charge for service. I had one taxi charge 1 million colones for a 10 minute taxi ride to playa hermosa and another one charged 1,000. A difference of $10. If you are charged in American prices, then negotiate hard. In the stores you can bargain down 10% easily. Ask if service is included in the prices at restaurants if it is not stated on the menu. This is not typical for locals, only at places frequented by tourists. Leave a Comment

Normal tipping ( 8 or 9 %)is also on your tab but if the service is better than normal please tip like you would in an US city. Tips are divided up between all servers. This is what they live off. I know because my son has a restaurant and I worked the books. Please give the servers extra if they do a good job, and I know they will. If not say good-bye and thanks for the service. They understand what customer satisfaction means-more money for them!! Leave a Comment

The people here are calm, quiet and gentle. Their stature, on average, is smaller and so are the incomes. There are very few women with shorter hair styles. They are very polite and do not like to stare. If you hear a local person say "desculpe" which means sorry, you should tell them "no problem" because that is what they would say for you.

One way to make friends with the local Tica's is to wear a soccer jersey from any country. Leave a Comment
