Truth

Don't be on the streets at night, especially if you are a gringo without good Spanish.
It is mostly safe if you take commonsense precautions.
It is beautiful, but it isn't the US so don't expect that it should be. |

I've never used a mosquito net and have never even considered it. You'll want bug spray & sunscreen for the day though. And a camera. Those are the only "must haves" I consider when I go to CR. |

Only if your planning on sleeping next to a mangrove you should bring a mosquito netting.
Usually it´s not a problem but if you are going to out of the way places near water it wouldn´t hurt to bring one, like if your planning on camping.
Bring suntan lotion a towel, bthing suit and a good attitude and you´ll have a great time.
