Holidays & events

  • The Costa Rica MTSS feriados list lists no public holiday in February; the nearest are in January and March. US federal holidays that month (OPM): Washington's Birthday on February 15; those shape Omaha departures rather than anything in Guanacaste. Occupancy for February is not in our data; Ann hears it from the resorts.
