Costa Rica on a budget recommendations?

[waterwabbit]

Hi! We are going to Costa Rica for a week in March. Does anyone have recommendations for economical (meaning cheap) places to stay and dive?
Thanks!!!

Villas Sol Hotel & Beach Resort is $49 (U.S.) per night/per person.

I can't personally tell you about this hotel as I have not been there. But it seems like it would fall into the category your looking for.

Welcome to Scubaboard. You'll find lots of info & advice here. You might want to try a search on Costa Rica, on the boards. It will pull up all kinds of info for you.

Take care.

This is on rumor but I hear that there are dive operations at Drake's Bay (a really cool place and not a rumor - have visited and loved it but in pre-diving days). They would likely go out to Caño Island. There are some spendy all inclusives, but I hear that there are smaller dive ops in the area. I'm looking into it for next year's Jan/Feb dive trip.

Anybody got more info on cheaper digs in Drake's Bay?
