Aloft on a Budget – Accommodation Choices
Finding affordable lodging is the first step toward a budget-conscious bash.
Shared Condos & Hostels
Search for shared condos or budget hostels within walking distance of the beach. Booking in blocks often leads to significant savings per person.
Group Villa Rentals
Split a villa with a kitchen, living room, and backyard—cost-effective when divided among friends. A private pool becomes a free hangout spot.
Off-Peak Season Benefits
Visit during the shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October). You’ll avoid crowds and capture great deals on accommodations and flights.
Affordable Adventures & Activities
Maximize fun with low-cost or free experiences.
Surf Lessons & Board Rentals
Surf lessons can be highly affordable with group rates. Renting all-day surfboards also offers endless water-time without high costs.
Group Hiking
Nearby trails like Cerro Chato or Carara National Park offer hikes with rich wildlife and ocean views—just entry fees, no guided cost.
Beach Games and Chill Zones
Bring or rent beach essentials: volleyball nets, frisbees, portable speakers. Spend the afternoon mixing sun-and-play at nearly zero cost.
Cost-Conscious Dining & Nightlife
Elevate the culinary and nightlife experience without overspending.
Street Food and Local Eateries
Try sodas (family-run cafés) for local dishes like casado or ceviche—tasty, authentic, and wallet-friendly.
Happy Hour & Daytime Deals
Scout bars offering afternoon drink specials and appetizer combos—extending evening energy without the evening price.
DIY Beach BBQs
Head to a local supermarket, stock up on meats and produce, and host a beachside cookout—no restaurant prices, high social payoff.
