A very, very nice place. More than having no army, its foreign policy makes it like a Central American Switzerland. All of the nice things said about it above are true. It's a nice and safe country with something for most people, from the pre-Columbian gold artifacts magnificently displayed in a huge exhibit at the national bank to Gringo Gulch at 4:30 a.m. on a Saturday night, from the incredibly interesting Mercado Central in San Jose to the beaches at Jaco. Jungles, great food, macadamia and cashew nuts, pineapples, seafood, friendly people, it's a great destination for any vacation, whether for a family or a pack of pornographers. Like I said, something for everybody. (But it's really not an island. Nicagagua on one side, Panama on the other.)
