No. There is a bank in town that cashes traveler�s checks and/or US dollars. They charge more for this service than do the banks in San Jose or Limon. A word of caution: do not change money with the money exchangers in the streets in San Jose. The taxi drivers that transport you to your hotel at the airport will accept US currency. There is a currency exchange bank window at the airport as well. Almost all business in P.V. accept dollars.

The climate in our area is more or less 80 degrees year-round but can cool down in the evenings, so bring a lightweight sweater. Sometimes the humidity can build before a rain and it can get hot and sticky if you exert yourself on a hike. However, the trade winds on our side of Costa Rica tend to diminish this problem.
We supply all the linens, bedding, and towels.
