A typical Costa Rica package holiday from Charter Travel includes return flights, internal transfers, and accommodation across the regions you'd like to visit — from rainforest lodges and volcano-view hotels to an all-inclusive beach resort. Every itinerary is tailor-made, so you choose how much time you spend touring versus relaxing on the coast.
Yes. We can arrange a Costa Rica all-inclusive holiday with flights included from the UK, combining international flights with a stay at an all-inclusive beach resort such as Hotel Riu Guanacaste, Occidental Papagayo Resort, or Dreams Las Mareas — either as a standalone beach holiday or as part of a longer tour.
Yes - Costa Rica has beaches on both its Pacific and Caribbean coasts, from the surf beaches of Tamarindo and Jacó to the turtle-nesting shores of Tortuguero. Guanacaste Province, on the Pacific coast, is home to most of the 5* all-inclusive resorts and is a popular choice for a dedicated Costa Rica beach holiday.
Absolutely — this is one of our most popular ways to visit Costa Rica. A typical Costa Rica tour with beach holiday combines several days exploring volcanoes, cloud forest and wildlife with a stay at an all-inclusive beach resort at the end of the trip, so you get adventure and relaxation in one package.
There are direct options seasonally from the UK with British Airways as well as indirect options via the US or Europe with airlines including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Delta, United and American Airlines.
Most of our clients travel for 9–15 nights, which allows enough time to see two or three regions — such as Arenal, Monteverde and a beach resort in Guanacaste — without feeling rushed. Shorter trips of around a week tend to focus on one region plus a beach stay.
The dry season, from December to April, offers the most sunshine and the least rainfall, making it a popular time for a Costa Rica beach holiday. The green season (May–November) is quieter and lusher, with more affordable rates, though afternoon showers are more likely.
Costa Rica isn't the cheapest destination in Central America, but package holidays that bundle flights, transfers and hotels together — rather than booking everything separately — typically offer better value and remove a lot of the planning stress. Our team can also tailor the itinerary to fit a range of budgets.
Offering worldwide destinations from budget-friendly trips to luxurious getaways, we know that every holiday is special.
