Today the topic will be a Costa Rica Vacation versus a Mexico Vacation. We will list this in a simple bullet point going over a few of the main differences. We don’t plan to assign a winner because it just depends on what type of family vacation you might be looking for.

 

Mexico Vacations

Mexico Pros:

• More Resort Options
• Better Snorkeling
• Mexican Food has more spice

• Large Crowds
• Dry Terrain
• Not much wildlife
• The water can give you the runs!

Costa Rica Vacations

Costa Rica Pros:

• More diverse in it’s natural beauties
• Smaller Eco-vibe
• Not as touristy (yet some parts are getting there)

Costa Rica Cons:

• Slightly farther away
• Snorkeling is nothing to get too excited about
