Safe Travels: The Latest Costa Rica Covid Restrictions

While travelers continue to value their safety, convenience seems to have been put on the back burner since the start of the pandemic. Thankfully, all of that is finally starting to change! Recent updates to Costa Rica Covid restrictions are great news for travelers and while things are sure to go smoother as far as entering Costa Rica go, we know you still prioritize safety above all else.


All Inclusive Vacation Rentals VS All Inclusive Resorts


We know people are getting tired of Covid restrictions but travelers still want to make their vacations as safe as possible. That’s why choosing all inclusive vacation rentals in Costa Rica just makes more sense than staying at all inclusive resorts. Guests at Pura Vida House still have all the luxury and convenience of a resort without being surrounded by hundreds of strangers.


We offer 24-hour concierge services, meaning if you want to stay at the villa and get a massage, private yoga class, or even a home cooked meal by our private chef then you’re in luck! There is plenty to do at the luxury villa, including swimming in our beautiful pool, barbecues and dining al fresco under the palapa on our large outdoor terrace, Wifi and cable on our large screen televisions, and getting to experiencethat tropical feel under our outdoor shower with our botanical soaps, shampoos, and conditioners – all made right here in Costa Rica!

You can expect even more luxuries at the Hacienda Beach Club and Resort as a guest of Pura Vida House. Featuring an ocean view gym with free weekly yoga, spa, water sports center, restaurant, and a 160-foot lagoon style infinity swimming pool leading onto the white-sand Avellanas Beach, the Beach Club is a perk that is included exclusively with the rental of our luxury villas at Pura Vida House.


The Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club and Resort offers so much more to our guests, including surfing, tennis, pickleball, and an 18-hole golf course. You will definitely be kept busy while staying at Pura Vida House.


Why not take our golf cart or bicycles to get to the Beach Club and three nearby beaches of Avellanas, Langosta, or Mansita, or use them to explore the 4,600-acre gated community of Hacienda Pinilla? With howler monkeys, iguanas, and scarlet macaws on site you won’t be disappointed when you stay on this property!


Of course, we know you want to explore what makes the country of Costa Rica so special during your stay. That’s why we also offer a variety of tours that will get you out and exploring, includingziplining, horseback riding along the beach, hot springs, mud baths, volcano hikes, white water rafting, sunset sails, and much more!


It’s easy to stay safe and explore the beauty of Costa Rica at our luxury villas at Pura Vida House.


Update On Costa Rica Covid Restrictions


Costa Rica Covid restrictions are being phased out. The first restriction to be dropped was the sanitary driving restrictions in early March 2022. In place since the beginning of the pandemic, these restrictions were meant to encourage Costa Ricans to remain at home and slow down travel within the country. The cancellation of the driving restrictions means businesses that were affected by the midnight to 5 a.m. ban, such as bars and night clubs, can go back to their normal operation hours. 


The gradual and responsible roll back of Covid restrictions in Costa Rica coincides with a drop in new infections, seeing numbers fall by more than 2,300 over the past month, which is 41 percent of its previous peak in early February.


Are you ready to book the most memorable week of your life?


With the dropping rate of infection and a push back from the tourism industry, the government of Costa Rica decided to end the QR code mandate starting April 1, 2022. With the dropping of the QR code mandate, all businesses will be allowed to operate at 100 percent capacity once again – for the first time in two years!


Also starting April 1, foreign visitors will no longer have to fill out and provide the digital health pass, or pase de salud, to enter the country. This means you will not have to provide proof of vaccination to enter Costa Rica. Additionally, unvaccinated travelers no longer have to buy special Costa Rica Covid travel insurance to enter the country as of April 1. Those entering the country are still not required to provide a negative Covid test.


There are still some restrictions for returning home for many travelers. US travelers over the age of two must provide a negative Covid test within one calendar day of travel. This can be the viral test, or antigen test, which can get results out faster than the PCR test, required by Canadians returning home, who must have their PCR results within three calendar days of travel.
