North Pacific section of the country.
Aside from planned activities, we have a day of free time and would like to get away from the resort and mingle with the local people and experience some local flavor…any suggestions on what we could do?
Thanks!
Cool! I’m going to conchal next week as well, with my family LOL, well you can go to bars or take the bus a go to the other beaches close to conchal (that’s what I love about guanacaste, a lot of beautiful beaches are next to each other!), you can also talk the local fishermen and they’ll take you to fish in their little boats…(not all of them do that but you can ask), mmm I don’t know…. surf is pretty popular here too, mmm… just walk around and I know you’ll find something to do, we are known for being very friendly with strangers so you won’t have a problem with meeting people, there are little towns around the beaches so you may want to go and visit them
brasilito is a nice little town/beach close to conchal, there is a nice restaurant next to the sea right in the sand, I went there last year , in a night, it was so beautiful and the food was great, I want to go to that restaurant next week haha)
you may also go to Tamarindo, is a beautiful beach (my favorite one) and is very developed commercially speaking.
If you want to see the most amazing sunset you’ve ever seen 
go to flamingo beach! (flamingo beach is a little far from conchal around mmm 40mins by car)
Bahia de los piratas is an amazing little beach, not too people know it (so don’t tell anyone sshh haha) , is really quite and the water is warm, there is this big rock in a shape of a pirate head that’s why it’s called bahia de los piratas (bay of pirates), you can climb that big rock, well is more like a tiny little island right next to the beach and take and awesome picture right next to where the waves crash!
I recommend you rent a car and get out of the resort and go to visit the other beaches (they’re about 20min from conchal, brasilito is right next to conchal) or if you can’t rent a car then go by bus but you have to know very well where you’re gonna go or you’ll just get lost!
if you have any other question or doubt or recommendation feel free to email me!I I’ll be happy to help you! Pura Vida! and welcome to Costa Rica!

Hotel Kamuk in Quepos offers rooms as low as $50.00 a night plus tax.
Are there any cheaper ones closer to the park?
Why not go look at www.dominical.biz there are hotels & rooms etc, usually you can choose by ratings, they group them according to accomodations levels….many nice inexpensive rooms/bungalows/cabins/ etc are of an abundance with a little searching you may find something perfect for you. Remember that seasonal rates will vary prices, right now is th high season it is dry & most holidays increase the costs. Costa Rica is predominently Catholic which means Catholic holidays influence bigtime. Easter is now approaching so watch your rates & compare to later in the year, many go half! Enjoy~ Consider Jaco as a place for inexpensive rates, it resembles Keywest style, surfer heaven…lots of inexpensive places to stay & still not too terribly far to visit Manuel Antonio. I would suggest some places we stayed, but we paid much more than the $ you speak of. Good luck! Enjoy~
do i need a authorization letter signed by my parents?
if im going to use a honduran passport, will i need to take out a visa?
if im going to use an american passport, can i just show up at the border and cross?
If you are an American citizen, you must have an American passport. See site below, choose the country you want to read about and click on it. Then read the section under "Entry Reauirements." you will see that you do not need a visa to visit any of these countries. Do be sure to read ALL of the info under "Entry Requirements." if you re under 18 and your parents are not traveling with you , you need a letter of permission signed by both parents and notarized.
A coworker of mine really wants to start a Starbucks in Costa Rica or other business like a Panda Express there or maybe another country. Does anyone know where i may be able to find some information for him? Please and Thank you.
Yeah, Starbucks doesnt franchise:

I’m pretty sure Panda Express franchises:

I suggest Dunkin’ Donuts. They’re easy to franchise and they’re popular cuz they’re joined with Baskin Robbins (ice cream shop). Here’s some info:

Join the ladies as they tour the nature-rich and adventure-filled country of Costa Rica. It’s a safe and fun destination for women travelers, and most importantly…cheap! Airfare to Costa Rica is affordable, the food is inexpensive, and reasonably-priced hotels abound.
Kim Mance & Katy Quissell do everything from leaping off of waterfalls, to taking surf lessons and relaxing with yoga at the beach. They also stop off at an indigenous village to see a little more of the countries heritage. Food editor Heather gets a cooking lesson at the RipJack, and Kim gets her nose pierced. It’s a good time had by all…
