Yeah same. Went there, rented a car, drove from San Juan down to some national park in the south, stayed at a resort a few days, drove back. Nothing particularly notable, and no things did not seem expensive. Yeah there were some touts, but I've seen worse. I will say it was funny how beat to hell my rental car came. The check out sheet had multiple Xs drawn on every single panel for pre-existing damage.

For someone who's widely traveled I can't imagine you'd have any trouble with Costa Rica at all. It felt safe at least.
