","blockElementTextAlign":"left","blockElementHeading1":"Frequently Asked Questions","id":"48340","__typename":"pageBuilder_headingBlock_BlockType"},{"typeHandle":"faqs","blockElementAccordion":[{"accordionTitle":"What airport should I fly into?","accordionDetails":"

To arrive in our Playa Gigante, Nicaragua location, either Managua (MGA) or Liberia, Costa Rica (LIR) are equal options to fly into. Flight Guidelines are here, but we will help each person find the best flight.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"Who picks each person up? Do they have to arrive at a certain time?","accordionDetails":"

Room to Roam transportation shuttles will pick up each person directly from the airport based on their arrival time. If people arrive within the same hour, we will wait to put in the same shuttle, but people do NOT need to worry about the shuttle schedule, we will handle that.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"What is the local currency? Is foreign currency necessary?","accordionDetails":"

The local currency is cordobas, where approximately 35 cordobas= $1USD. There is no need to get currency ahead of time, USD are accepted everywhere. Credit cards can also be used and ATM’s are accessible if necessary.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"What are the details about a traveler’s visa?","accordionDetails":"

For US travelers, you simply pay on arrival for a 90-day tourist visa that costs $13. No forms or advance planning is required. A passport MUST BE valid for 6 months AFTER travel date. For non US travelers, we can look into things on a case-by case basis.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"What is flying into Liberia like? How about the border crossing process?","accordionDetails":"

Liberia is a very Americanized experience that will feel fairly familiar for airport experiences. After you book with us, you will receive details on the entire process and preparation for each person. A Room to Roam driver will pick you up directly from the airport for about an hour and a half drive to the Penas Blancas border. The drive is beautiful and tropical. With our packages, we have a person assist you with the border crossing process of showing your passport and either negative PCR covid test or proof of vaccination, clearing baggage and completing payment to enter Nicaragua. You then meet with another R2R driver on the Nica side for just over an hour drive to our hotel.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"What is flying into Managua like?","accordionDetails":"

In a sense, Managua is easier as there is no border crossing process, so you land and then take a 2-2.5 hr shuttle direct to the hotel. This airport is not as Americanized, so it may feel a little more unfamiliar, but as long as you have your passport, proof of vaccination OR negative PCR Covid test, and $10 USD, Managua is pretty easy.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"Is Nicaragua safe?","accordionDetails":"

Like many countries, Nicaragua has some political conflict and some differing internal opinions, however that does not make Nicaragua unsafe for travel. In the Southern beach communities, it truly is a vibrant, friendly, and peaceful experience that is separated from any large, populated cites. All of our Room to Roam team of drivers and staff have been strongly vetted for professionalism + safety, and our hotel has overnight security 7 days a week. Despite feeling very safe in our community of Playa Gigante, we place high value on guest safety and comfort. By exercising general safety and caution recommendations and avoiding any political activity or protests, you can also do your part by being a smart + savvy traveler.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"Do I need to be vaccinated to enter Nicaragua or Costa Rica?","accordionDetails":"

You do NOT need to be vaccinated to enter either Costa Rica or Nicaragua, however if you are vaccinated you DO NOT need a covid test to enter.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"Do I need a Covid test to enter Nicaragua or Costa Rica?","accordionDetails":"

If you are vaccinated, you DO NOT need a covid test to enter Nicaragua. If you are unvaccinated, you will need a negative RT-PCR covid test taken no more than 72 hours prior to your entry into Nicaragua. There are NO restrictions for traveling through Costa Rica.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"How are tourists treated in Nicaragua?","accordionDetails":"

Very well. Our community is a friendly, local + expat blend of people who all enjoy the simple, beachy life and exist in harmony. Americans are not targeted or disliked, everything is mellow and cool.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"Is there a hospital/medical care nearby in case anything happens?","accordionDetails":"

Yes, there is a Roberto Clemente Health Clinic 15 min away, and a very nice private hospital in Managua if something serious were to happen.

","__typename":"blockElementAccordion_accordionItem_BlockType"},{"accordionTitle":"Can other activities be arranged onsite?","accordionDetails":"
