Catching Zzzzs
We created the catching zzzzs category for Moderately Adventurous to cover accommodation descriptions. When we planned the Costa Rica trip, I got lost in the insane number of options to stay. Do we stay in a tree house that would change our destination from La Fortuna to Monteverde? Do we want ocean views when staying in Playa Samara or a jungle retreat? What does the provided breakfast include or is there a coffee shop nearby? I did deep dives into the reviews to find out every single detail, which was exhausting. I developed “Moderately Adventurous” system of booking accommodations and happily share the places we stay in the catching zzzzs category.
Steps for Catching Zzzzs
First, I decide on the activities I want to do on the trip and research restaurants in the nearest town. If I don’t see many vegetarian options, then I will usually pick a place with a kitchen. With my budget of $150/night maximum, I look for places in the nearest town. Airbnb is my first go-to, then VRBO, then Hotels.com and TripAdvisor. It takes a little while to get a feel for the market in the, but I try to find the best value for safe, warm, and comfortable. I find adorable little gems with a bit of digging.
