Holidays & events

  • November carries no public holiday on the Costa Rica MTSS feriados list, which usually means steadier resort pricing than October or December. US federal holidays that month (OPM): Veterans Day on November 11; those shape Omaha departures rather than anything in Guanacaste. November crowd levels: no source, so left out.
