There are several hardships that can be faced in planning an international vacation. One of these hardships, and usually the most prevalent, is that of the language barrier. This can be hardest when booking beach rentals in Costa Rica because of the fact that some rentals will be rented through individuals, instead of companies like with hotels, who know little or no English. This problem can be handled with a little planning. Lucky for English-speaking travelers, many Costa Ricans do speak at least some English, and if they do not, there is usually someone nearby who can translate. However, it is very important to book rentals in advance, this way language barriers can be dealt with and still have time to spare. It is important when traveling internationally to plan ahead for things such as language barriers to make vacations as pleasant as possible for both the traveler and the natives of the host country.
