Now in its sixteenth edition, Exploring Costa Rica 2008/9 is the up-to-date repository of need-to-know travel and cultural information assembled by the staff and contributors of The Tico Times, Central America's leading English-language newspaper. Written by people who live and work in Costa Rica, Exploring Costa Rica 2008/9 is brimming with solid information, from laws that anyone contemplating retirement in Costa Rica must know to common real estate pitfalls to the best restaurants and hotels, recommended activities, and much more, categorized primarily by geographical zone and secondarily by price range. Colorful maps and photographs and an easy-to-use index round out this "must-have" for anyone looking to get the most out of a Costa Rican visit.

Book is an easy read with need to know information. The information is up-to-date and it is printed yearly. The book is compiled by residents to the country so pratical information is included. I liked the accomodation section divided by province, including prices.
I also think it is important to support the local paper with my purchase.

We stayed in one area for 11 days, so book was limited on that specific area, but next trip will be all over Costa Rica, and it will be an even better resource for different area interests. A bit more detailed and info on Mom 'n' Pop and off-the-beaten-path stuff than other books.
 did not meet my needs February 15, 2009

I was going with a tour group to Costa Rica and wanted a general guide with maps. If that is what you need/want, this is not the book for you. It appears to be geared to someone who is going without a tour or guide. I also thought it had too many ads. It just did not meet my needs.
