Christmas is a fantastic time to visit Costa Rica, the weather is hot and crisp, it barely rains and it still doesn’t lose that sense of festivity that graces many other places across the world. By late November Christmas goodies are already making there way onto the shelves and the Costa Ricans like nothing more than to embrace the whole period and get fully involved.

“Some of the decorations here are outstanding, they really put a lot of thought and effort into the Christmas themes here” says Richard Bexon, a consultant for Costa Rica Holiday, “At first it can be a very odd feeling, you see the lights, you see the decorated trees and you really do pick up that Christmas time vibe from all the locals, but the weird thing is, is that you’re experiencing it in shorts and t-shirts!”

As odd as the feeling is, it is definitely not a bad feeling and there are many places throughout the whole of Costa Rica where the Christmas period can be thoroughly enjoyed. Starting from Manuel Antonio and Puntarenas along the Pacific coast, through the central Costa Rica in San Jose and Arenal, all the way across to the Caribbean side in Limon and Puerto Vieja, there are many simply outstanding places to stay to make your Christmas holiday a once in a lifetime experience.

However, hotels and resorts are booking up fast. Costa Rica is fast becoming more and more popular every year with proof coming from Canatur (the tourism board for Costa Rica) reported earlier by Costa Rica Holiday here.

“It’s quite unbelievable how Christmas bookings take off around the September/October” explained a hotel partner. “You get a few throughout the year, then August picks up, then by the end of October you can easily become fully booked. Just like that.”

It is one of the more favored times of the calendar by hotel owners as it brings tourists looking to relax, chill and really enjoy their Christmas holiday period. “The mood is always a lot lighter, people seem happier, I think it’s just generally that Christmas spirit that’s in the air.” Explains Richard Bexon.
