Free quote on Costa Rica Family Vacation All inclusive Packages. Stay in top Costa Rica resorts

Your family trip should be a vacation for everyone. All inclusive Costa Rica resorts and hotelsoffer planned activities for children, nightly entertainment and the security of knowing you won't go over your budget. That's why many families visiting Costa Rica frequently opt to include an all inclusive hotel or resort in their Costa Rica vacation.

Many of our Costa Rica vacation packages feature all inclusive Costa Rica resorts, mainly on the Pacific shores of Guanacaste. There are two types of all inclusive packages. The multi-night packages offered mainly in Tortuguero and Osa / Corcovado feature tours, meals and non-alcoholic drinks. The eco-friendly El Silencio Lodge in Bajos del Toro also offers this type of all inclusive package, which includes three meals daily and a guided hike through the rainforest.

The more traditional all inclusive resort packages feature open bars, programmed activities, multiple restaurants, and room service. The latter is available in renowned resorts like Paradisus, Allegro and Occidental. More recently, DoubleTree has started offering all inclusive services at their Puntarenas resort. These top Costa Rica all inclusive resorts offer great alternatives for families on a budget.

An all inclusive Costa Rica vacation is not for everyone. We recommend multi-night packages for guests visiting remote regions of the country since hotels tend to be isolated. For example, it is difficult to visit restaurants outside the resorts in Osa / Corcovado and Tortuguero. Packages enhance and simplify your family's stay.

With their scheduled activities and services geared specifically towards children, the all inclusive beach resorts make life easier for families on a Costa Rica vacation with kids. On the other hand, all inclusive Costa Rica resorts tend to be chain-like and large, lacking true Costa Rican charm and authenticity.

We encourage families on a Costa Rica vacation to visit at least two different regions of the country, mixing beaches with volcanoes, rainforests or cloud forests. Therefore, most of our featured all inclusive Costa Rica family vacation packages include a portion of the stay in a bed & breakfast, typically at the start of the vacation. However, our all inclusive Costa Rica vacation packages are designed to include at least a portion of the trip in a traditional all inclusive resort as well.

Please review the suggested packages and contact our Costa Rica travel experts to book or customize an itinerary featuring stays at all inclusive Costa Rica hotels or resorts in your family vacation.

When planning a vacation on a limited budget, families are faced with tough decisions. Should you allocate the largest portion of your resources towards better hotels, better tours and activities or more efficient transportation? The trick is to balance all categories, using cost-saving options efficiently.

For example, Costa Rica offers reliable, comfortable and safe shuttle surface between most tourist destinations. The price for two is typically 40 to 60% lower when using shared transfers than a private driver, and the savings increase exponentially when traveling with larger families or groups. While you are tied to a specific timetable and cannot request detours or unscheduled stops, the total travel time will probably be only 30 minutes more than when going with a private service. In some cases, you will need the driver to depart or arrive at a certain time, which requires a private service, but in others, if you are flexible, a shared transfer can offer substantial savings. For large groups, we can arrange private transportation at a considerable savings.

Costa Rica Vacation - Costa Rica Travel - Free Information: "f you are fortunate enough to land in San Jose Costa Rica during daylight hours you will see a large Central Valley surrounded by sleepy volcanoes, like silent watchmen waiting to awaken at the slightest provocation. We call this 'landing in a postcard'. It whets the appetite for the Costa Rica vacation to come.

Costa Rica is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places on earth to vacation in. Glide through a rainforest canopy in a floating gondola, go horseback riding on the beach, soak yourself in waters heated by an active volcano, hike through clouds in a mountaintop cloud forest, see the turquoise blue water-filled crater of a sleepy (but active) volcano, see pairs of Scarlet Macaws flying over crocodile infested rivers, watch rare sea turtles struggle to lay their eggs in protected places. All this and more await you in one of the world's last safe havens for wildlife."
