Sleeping with the Toucans -- A Fantastic Guidebook September 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Read this wonderful book before you visit Costa Rica; more importantly, carry it while you're in country. Costa Rica residents and world travelers, Chris and Alison bring a unique and entertaining perspective to the art of getting off the "Hilton circuit" and onto the trail of the "real" Costa Rica. Sleeping with the Toucans offers a trove of crisply written, beautifully photographed options for comfortable accommodations, tasty dining and more. Whether you're seeking a massage, world class birding, boating or beachcombing or butterfly watching, or simply a good night's rest - Sleeping with the Toucans has it all. And if you can't visit Costa Rica, read this book; it's the next best thing to being there!
The guide to get with Fodors or Moon Guides September 18, 2007

First as a disclaimer, our hotel - the Pura Vida Hotel, Alajuela, Costa Rica - is featured in this guidebook. I want to comment on this book however as it is a pretty special addition to the 15 or so current guides available for Costa Rica.
Sleeping with the Toucans provides details on the hotels the authors liked staying at. It is very personal, it is very detailed and we have used it ourselves when planning trips inside the country. Apparently we have similar tastes in good food and accommodations. This guide won't help you find your way to the best rain forest canopy walk or the best most secluded beach in Costa Rica - for that we'd recommend a number of different guide books that fit your taste or budget. But if you are buying a new copy of Fodors or the Moon Guide or maybe the New Key to Costa Rica and you like to stay in interesting places then this guide is a must.
