Before you go, be sure to visit the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website for additional travel tips: TSA Travel Tips

1. Reusable Water Bottle with Filter: We will have filtered water at Lua Villas but having a water bottle with a built-in filter can be especially handy in Costa Rica. It helps reduce plastic waste and ensures you have access to safe drinking water.
    
2. Sandals or Water Shoes: In addition to flip flops, you could pack a pair of sandals or water shoes suitable for activities like walking on rocky shores or exploring tide pools.
    
3. Reusable Tote Bag: A foldable, reusable tote bag can come in handy for carrying groceries, souvenirs, or beach essentials during your stay.
    
4. Earplugs and Eye Mask: These can be useful for a good night’s sleep, especially if you’re sharing accommodations with others or if you’re sensitive to noise and light.
    
5. First Aid Kit: Consider packing a small first aid kit with essentials like adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any personal medications you might need.
    
6. Cash in Local Currency: While credit/debit cards are handy, having some local currency in cash can be useful for small purchases or places that may not accept cards.
    
7. Dry Bag: If you plan on taking your phone, camera, or other valuables to the beach or on water excursions, a waterproof dry bag can protect them from water and sand. *We do not recommend taking any valuables to the beach if you are not going to be watching it.
    
8. Power Bank: To keep your electronic devices charged for taking photos, staying connected, or using apps during your trip.
9. Travel Adapter: When living in the United States of America you don’t need a power plug adapter in Costa Rica. Your power plugs fit.
10. Make up remover towelettes. The towels are white at LUA and they will charge if the towels are stained with make up.
