Results for "Costa+|+66"

Je pense rejoindre le Costa Rica au mois de décembre et y séjourner un moment, J'ai pas mal de question qui me serait bien utile: 1) Ou peut-on trouver des hebergements à bon prix de préférence proche de la mer, quels sont les meilleurs spots? (camping, bengalow, cabinas, chez l'habitant, etc...) 2) Que pouvez me conseiller comme itinéraire de "visite découverte" sans passer par des tours operator? 3) y a t'il au Costa des possibilités de décrocher des petits boulots ou des activités en echange de repas et logement? 4) Quel est en moyenne le coût de la vie (bus, repas, visite, ...)? 6) La population est elle accueillante?

Merci d'avance et Pura Vida!😉

Bonjour,

Qui peut me suggèrer un itinéraire de 2 semaines (mer, plage, excursion tropical) au Costa Rica? Nous pensons louer un 4X4.

Merci beaucoup!

Bonjour 😎 je voudrais partir au costa rica mi juillet pour une durée de 15 jours. J'hésite entre un circuit aventure (15 participants maximum + tour opérator) avec visites des réserves par le biais de différentes activités : marche, VTT, rafting, cheval, parcours à la cime des arbres ... ou partir sans tour opérator et donc trouver un vol abordable + hébergement sur place + déplacement (bus locaux ou location de voiture ?). Nous serions 3 ou 4 personnes à partir mais nous ne parlons pas espagnol. Selon vous quelle est la formule la plus intéressante financièrement parlant ? Dans l'attente de vos conseils. Laurence

Quelqu'un(e) pourrait-il me donner l'adresse du bon hotel sympa ainsi qu'un loueur de 4X4 fiable à San Jose ?

Gracias

😉Bonjour tous,

C'est Christophe Colomb qui a, le premier, appellé ce pays Costa Rica tellement il trouvait la côte riche...côte étant féminin autant en français qu, en espagnol alors pourquoi dit-on LE Costa rica plutôt que LA Costa rica ???

Je n, ai jamais entendu parler de LE COSTA BRAVA NI LE COSTA DEL SOL....!!!!

Hello,

My husband, our two teens, and I are going on a cruise on the COSTA Esmeralda at the beginning of July. We’re thinking of exploring the ports on our own. Do any of you have recent experiences or tips to share? Are there shuttles between the port and the city center? Are they free? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Good evening, cruise friends! I’m planning my Japan cruise with Costa.

Is it more worthwhile to book excursions before departure? With MSC, yes, because you save 15%, but what about with Costa?

For those who’ve already done this cruise, do you have any tips or recommendations, please? We’re staying 1.5 days before and 3 days after in Hong Kong. Thanks in advance! Chantal Ports of call: Hong Kong - Keelung (Taiwan) - Japan (Naha - Kagoshima - Tokyo - Kobe - Nagasaki) - Busan (South Korea) - Hong Kong

Hi there,

We’re planning a trip to Central America and South America, but we’re still unsure about the destination. It’s for a trip in July 2025, so weather is definitely a factor. For Ecuador, the weather seems favorable, but my wife knows an Ecuadorian woman who told her that the security situation has really deteriorated, especially on the west side (beaches, etc.).

Has anyone traveled to Ecuador recently (in 2025) and could share their experience? (security situation, recommended itineraries)

In terms of things to see (typical villages, landscapes), weather, and prices, Ecuador seems more appealing to us than Costa Rica or Panama, which we’re also considering.

Hi, I’m going on a solo cruise from Marseille to Hamburg—13 nights, 4 days at sea on the Costa Favalosa. The stops are Genoa, Barcelona, Málaga, Cádiz, Porto, A Coruña, Le Havre, and Hamburg. I’ve booked a Costa excursion for Porto and Hamburg that ends at the airport. I plan to explore the other stops on my own (I’ve already visited Barcelona and Málaga). The stops should be pretty easy to do solo, but I’d love any tips on A Coruña. I’d also like to know if there’s a shuttle to get out of the port in Le Havre or go into the city center. Looking forward to exchanging ideas with others who might be doing this route! Best, Varoise

Hi everyone, I’m from Annecy and I’ve traveled quite a bit, thanks to VF and friends. I’m looking for someone to travel with for a month in December. I could add New Zealand and later Japan or Bali. I’ve traveled often, in backpacker style, but I also enjoy comfort. I’d prefer someone who doesn’t live too far from my area so we can meet beforehand. I’m 70 years old, I love walking, music, water, nature, and sometimes just listening to the silence... Looking forward to hearing from you. Cécile

Hi everyone, I’m restarting my travel reports with my 2023 trip that took me from Costa Rica to Suriname over a month and a half.

First stop: Costa Rica. I arrived in late September in San José, a city I know well and never linger in. As soon as I got off the early-morning flight, I headed to the domestic airport—just a 5-minute walk away—to catch a 45-minute flight to Puerto Limón on the Caribbean coast. The 40-minute flight in a small Cessna was fun, especially since we landed on a tiny airstrip right by the sea—it felt like landing on the beach, which immediately set the mood. Plus, I wasn’t keen on enduring the 4–5-hour bus ride to Cahuita, especially since large sections of the road were under renovation. In Cahuita (where I’ve been going every year since 2015), I stayed at Kenaki Lodge on Playa Grande. It’s a great lodge, about a 45-minute walk from Cahuita’s center, but you’re just 50 meters from the beach and usually have it all to yourself. The lodge is run by Béa, a Frenchwoman, and depending on the season, you can help release baby turtles on the beach. The room was 55 €, very spacious, and you can use the outdoor kitchen. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for peace and quiet and a private beach.

After 5 days there, I flew to Cartagena but didn’t stay overnight. Instead, I headed straight to Rincón del Mar, a 3-hour bus ride from CTG. I’d mostly heard about it from a friend who lives there and runs El Ché, a beachfront restaurant. Rincón del Mar is a tiny seaside village, very peaceful, with a pretty nice beach. There are lots of small hotels and restaurants, and it’s a spot that’s likely to grow quickly in the coming years. Note: there’s no ATM there, so you’ll need to withdraw cash in San Onofre, about 30 minutes away by moto-taxi. The round trip costs around 25,000 COP. That’s also where you catch the bus to Cartagena. For accommodations, rooms were roughly 70,000–90,000 COP, with a so-so value for the price. As for things to do, I’d recommend the tour that takes you to watch the sunset in front of Bird Island, followed by a swim in a lagoon with bioluminescent plankton. The excursion (if I remember correctly) cost around 90,000 COP.

After a week in Rincón del Mar, I headed back to Cartagena and decided to fly to Yopal to visit the Río Meta. In Yopal, you’ll need to go to the bus terminal (10 minutes by taxi from the airport). From there, I took a bus to Orocué (50,000 COP) for about a 4-hour trip—it felt endless because the road was in terrible condition. Orocué is a tiny town on the banks of the Río Meta, but it has all the essentials (hotels, restaurants, ATMs). It’s lovely to stroll along the river at sunset. There are a few small bars, the area is very natural, the sunsets are stunning, and when there are distant storms, it’s just breathtaking. For lodging, I stayed at Hotel Brisas de San Miguel. It wasn’t bad—fan-cooled room for 70,000 COP. There were quite a few mosquitoes. I spent 3 days in Orocué. If you want to swim, head to the bridge (the only one), Cano San Miguel, and on the right, there’s a swimming spot. With the heat, it’s a great way to cool off.

From Orocué, I took a fast *lancha* (boat) up the Río Meta to Puerto Carreño, in the Vichada department at the far end of Colombia. This brings you to the majestic Orinoco River, right across from Venezuela. The boat ride is long—10 hours—and costs about 60 €. We left around 6 AM, with a few stops for bathroom breaks and meals along the way. But you *must* book your spot 1–2 days in advance. To do that, go to the small square above the dock—there’s a "navigation office" there. The trip was long but enjoyable. I never get tired of river journeys.

I was happy to finally arrive in Puerto Carreño, a small border town with Venezuela. No surprise that half the population was Venezuelan. In Puerto Carreño, I stayed at Hotel Delfines del Orinoco. The room was 80,000 COP, decent, with A/C, and the best part was the pool. I spent 2 nights there. One thing you *must* do—morning and evening—is hike to the top of Cerro de la Bandera (the *cerros* are huge rock formations typical of the Orinoco region, and there are many in the area). From the summit, you get amazing 360° views of the savanna and jungle. Sunrise is especially incredible. The trail is well-marked—from downtown Puerto Carreño, it takes about 20 minutes.

Next, I spent 3 nights at Rancho Barú. About an hour by boat from Puerto Carreño, you get off at Casuarito, and someone from the lodge picks you up by motorcycle for a 30-minute ride. The ranch is in the middle of the savanna, with a river/rapids beach just a 5-minute walk away. You can also fish—bites come quickly. For the lodge, one night (room or hammock) with shared bathrooms, three meals included, one excursion, plus the round-trip motorcycle ride costs 245,000 COP. An extra night without an excursion is around 100,000 COP, but you need to let the lodge know in advance so they can prepare enough food—there’s absolutely nothing for miles around.

After those 3 great days at the ranch, I took a canoe to cross into Venezuela, since Casuarito is right across from Puerto Ayacucho. The crossing costs 10,000 COP, but I got shaken down by Venezuelan immigration, who invented a violation and made me pay $40 USD. Puerto Ayacucho didn’t inspire me much. The city felt sketchy, with many hotels closed. Dealing with currency exchange was the hardest part—you *must* bring cash (USD or Colombian pesos), know the exchange rate, and find someone with enough money to exchange with you. It took me at least 2 hours. I stayed in a decent hotel downtown for $20 USD a night, but I’ll admit that going out at night—even in Puerto Ayacucho—felt pretty dodgy. All the buildings have bars on the windows, and there weren’t many people outside. I didn’t linger and found my plans to continue south too complicated. The next day, I took a bus across the country to the Brazilian border at Santa Elena de Uairén. The trip took a day and a night, with countless military checkpoints where they made everyone get off, unload all the luggage, etc. Not exactly a fun ride.

Hello, Looking forward to a beautiful transatlantic crossing on December 6th. Anyone from the forum going?

Bonjour, Quels conseils pour une croisière en fauteuil manuel ? Choix du restaurant ? Excursions aux escales : Barcelone, Palma, Palerme, Civitavecchia, Savone ? Accès aux animations et soirées ? Toutes ces questions car c'est ma première croisière !! Merci pour vos réponses

bonjour, Est ce que certains d'entre -vous ont pris connaissance de la situation concernant le Costa Diadema qui est vendu sur le site Costa pour la Transat vers les Emirats au départ de Marseille le 26/09/2020 et également le même bateau aux mêmes dates sur le site TMR pour des croisères JAZZ en méditerranée. Costa répond sans hésitation que la transat est maintenue avec le Diadema.........TMR maintient ses affirmations relatives à leurs croisières Jazz. Merci de me renseigner si vous avez des échos sur cette situation. Bonne journée. Très sincèrement .

Bonjour à tous

Les dates sont du 19 au 26 septembre

Déjà pensez vous que les navires auront repris les croisières ? Selon le site de costa c’est bon

On veux prendre une cabine avec balcon en total confort. On hésite avec samsara, qu’en pensez vous ?

Sinon vous conseillez de réserver par Costa où quelqu’un d’autre ?

Avec vous des conseils ?

Merci d’avance 🙏

Bonjour à tous, Nous avons réservé la croisière sur Magica (4j) au départ de Marseille le 13/04, quelqu'un serait il dans le même cas? Nous n'avons aucune nouvelle de Costa malgré les coups de tél et les messages par mail. Il va sans dire que cette croisière sera annulée. Etes vous dans ce cas? Merci de vos réponses

Bonjour, Quelqu'un a t il de nouvelles de la croisière du costa diadena départ 05 avril savone vers italie et espagne Merci Bon après midi

Bonjour, Je cherche des gens qui comme moi partent en croisière au départ le Venise le 28 mars prochain sur le Costa Victoria avec escales à Bari et Dubrovnik.

Nous avons décidé de ne pas annulé cette croisière malgré le risque et je voulais savoir si d'autres personnes avaient pris la même décision.

Costa nous a communiqué toutes les informations quant au déroulement de l'embarquement et en cas de fièvre ou doutent, si nous ne pouvons pas embarquer ils remboursent la totalité du voyage ainsi que le vol retour à notre domicile.

Au plaisir de vous lire et j'ai hâte de faire cette croisière.

Magali

Hello, We’ve just returned from our cruise on the Smeralda. There were four of us in balcony cabin 17001—a nice cabin with a large balcony and a very practical bathroom, though storage was a bit tight for four (small wardrobe and small shelf). Our assigned restaurant, El Meneghino, served good and hearty meals. The buffet was fine—since it’s a large ship, we always found free tables at different times, whether for breakfast or lunch. The food was good but not very varied. Be sure to check the daily program for meal times, as they change every day with different options: either buffet, fixed-menu restaurant, or both. The pools and jacuzzis were very small and crowded, and despite the nice weather that week, we never saw the aquapark open. There are plenty of bars where you can easily find a spot to enjoy a drink in peace or with music. The theater was very small and had unusual hours. Over the week, we only managed to see two shows live—the rest were on TV in the cabin. We did two Costa excursions: one in Rome with the express train, which was very pleasant, and the other in Pisa, which was well-organized for independent exploration. Overall, we were quite satisfied with our trip, but we still prefer MSC. Have a nice Sunday.

Bonjour à tous. Nous envisageons cette croisière, malgré les soucis du corona..... La croisière se termine par un transfert de Savone à l'aéroport de Nice en bus, sans qu'une heure précise d'arrivee à l'aéroport soit indiquée par Costa si ce n'est que le débarquement débute a 8h à Savone. Quelqu'un a t'il fait l'expérience? Merci de la partager.

Bonjour, je recherche des croisiéristes français pour partager taxi lors des escales notamment à Sainte Lucie. D'après mes recherches, il faut compter 160 dollars US pour 4 personnes pour une visite des principaux sites de l'île. Nous sommes deux. Merci😉
