do i need an electric adapter?
Outlets are the same as U.S. No electric adapter/converter is needed!
will my cell phone work?
Check with your phone carrier but most phone providers offer a daily rate to use your phone while traveling internationally. Another option is you can turn off roaming and only use the phone when connected to a local wifi like at your hotel or an area restaurant. iPhones for example you can use Facetime and text without fees while connected to wifi.
are major cards accepted?
Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted in Costa Rica. A much smaller percentage of businesses accept American Express or Discover. You should contact your credit card company or bank prior to visiting Costa Rica as they may place a security block for unusual foreign transaction if not. Some credit card companies will charge a 1 – 2% international transaction fee. You can often avoid this by changing your plan in advance or using a different credit card that does not charge foreign transaction fees instead. ATM machines are available in most towns. You will have to contact your bank in advance as not all ATM cards are set up for foreign transactions. Similar to credit cards, there is a chance you could be charged a foreign transaction fee.
Most establishments accept USD, so currency conversion is possible, but not entirely necessary.
Do i need a passport?
Yes, a passport is mandatory and you must have a plane ticket showing you are leaving CR within 90 days.
