Costa Rica opened it’s borders to the entire World on November 1st 2020 and the guest uptick has got our spirits soaring. Furthermore, there is no negative COVID test required for entry so all you’ll need to get into Costa Rica is travel insurance (we recommend Sagicor) and fill out the Health Pass 48 hours before your departure flight. Even though Costa Rica has opened its boarders completely, there were only 36,044 arrivals by air in November 2020 as compared to 191,346 in November 2019. Regardless, it’s been amazing seeing familiar faces from the USA and Canada and we’ve maintained about 60% – 80% occupancy at our beachfront site which our guests have actually loved.
Quick Tip: Ask for room upgrades when you arrive to camp. Chances are we’ll have a some premium rooms available. We’ll happily hook you up.
