The official currency of Costa Rica is the Costa Rican Colon. However, most places in the tourist areas take U.S. dollars, and you can even withdraw U.S. dollars at most of the ATMs in Puerto Limon. There isn’t an ATM in the cruise terminal, but there are several in the city of Puerto Limon. Look for a bank and there will usually be an ATM by it.

Tipping is not expected in Costa Rica since a 10% service charge is already added to the bill in restaurants. However, if service was exceptional, it is acceptable to tip an additional 5% to 10%. Likewise, taxi drivers don’t expect a tip but it is appreciated. Generally, a tip of $1 to $5 is offered for longer drives.
