Frommer's Costa Rica 2007

by Eliot Greenspan

Completely updated every year (unlike most of the competition), "Frommer's Costa Rica" features gorgeous color photos of the lush rain forest, the amazing array of wildlife, and the spectacular beaches that await you. Personally researched by a longtime resident, it's the only truly up-to-date guide that gives you such in-depth coverage of this fast-changing country, with recommended accommodations in every price category. You'll visit rugged wilderness preserves and sleepy beach towns, spectacular orchid gardens and mineral hot springs at the foot of a steaming volcano. There are adventures here to suit all ages and abilities: swooping from treetop platform to treetop platform on a canopy tour, taking a dip in a jungle swimming hole, spotting playful spider monkeys as you hike through lush foliage, windsurfing on Lake Arenal, or watching endangered sea turtles nest on the beach. With Frommer's in hand, you'll experience the wonder of Costa Rica's amazing biodiversity, as we point out the best places to see hundreds of unique, colorful species of animals and plants. You'll even get a color fold-out map

I think this is the only tour book that actually lists the Marriott where the Fendell-Crawford wedding is, possibly because so many of these books are geared towards people on budgets and the Marriott is outside of a low budget range. In addition, it includes a map that seems slightly laminated. Plus it has a sample itinerary for a 3 day stint in San Jose which is about my time frame of free time there. And I like the Activities A-Z section.
