点评:I’ve been to several Central American beach cities - notably Cancun (twice), Porta Valletta, and Zihuantineo, and I found Playa del Coco a disappointment. The roads are terrible, traffic is heavy and chaotic, and the restaurants are expensive. In the tourist area, trash was noticeable everywhere. If I was interviewed by the mayor of this community, I’d tell them that for the 18% sales tax charged, you should put some it back into the community - fix your roads and clean up all the trash.
We did have a good experience with a family-owned boat operator- Marea Alta Ocean Adventures, who provided us with a nice halfway trip to some seaside caves, snorkeling, and sea turtle watching.
Friends who have visited Costa Rica have the told me it’s a beautiful country to visit. I’m heading up to the mountainous region (Arnal and Fortuna), and hope I have a better experience than the one I’ve had in Coco.
翻译:我去过中美洲的几个海滨城市——尤其是坎昆(两次)、波特瓦莱塔和西瓦蒂内奥。不过普拉亚德尔科科让我大失所望。那里的道路状况糟糕,交通拥挤又混乱,餐馆价格也贵得离谱。在旅游区,到处都能看到垃圾。如果能有机会与当地市长面谈,我会说:既然收取了18%的销售税,就应该将部分资金用于改善社区环境——修缮道路并清理垃圾。我们和一家家族经营的游船公司——Marea Alta Ocean Adventures——有着不错的体验。他们为我们安排了一次愉快的半日游,带我们游览了海边的洞穴、进行了浮潜,还让我们观赏到了海龟。
去过哥斯达黎加的朋友都告诉我,那是一个非常值得一游的美丽国度。我即将前往山地区域(阿纳尔和福图纳),希望这次的体验能比在科科岛时更好。
