We were there, but it would depend which area you are looking at.

Yes and it was amazing!!! My husband and I travel a lot and my CR trip was by far one of my favorites!
One of the best parts about the whole thing for me was that we stayed on a cattle ranch that also had a hotel type thing in the back, and we started every single day with horseback riding (free). We did rappelling, atv-ing, zip-lining, white water rafting, hiking in the rain forest, doca (coffee plantation), hiked at the volcano, and then we spent shabbos in san juan (stunning shul btw!! you just need to send them your passports ahead of time and let them know you are coming) at the aish rabbi's house. We brought an entire suitcase of food, which did not go bad at all-- even with a long flight from the east coast, stopover in miami, and then the travel to where we were staying. Brought a George Forman and sandwich maker with us and had hot dogs/hamburgers/salami for dinner, pb&j or tuna sandwiches for lunch, and pancakes or oatmeal for breakfast. It's a great trip for someone not expecting a five star vacation and to be pampered, sleep late, and eat out. We didn't go to any of the beaches but there are also some stunning beaches there.
Have a great time!

Just in case this may be of any help to you, I'll relate as much as I can remember. We stayed in the Quepos area, and rented a private villa on top of a mountain, which was a gated community. Our landlords also had a villa on the mountain and were very helpful in planning our trips.
We did not bring much food. Mostly snacks and non-perishables. Our first stop from the airport was to a kosher butcher/bakery, where we bought chicken, bread and pastries for a few days. We also stopped at a supermarket for fresh fruits and vegetables, potatoes, eggs, etc. The downside to this was that we had to start cooking or grilling after a long day of outings, and that's something we would probably avoid next time we go. We'd likely try to bring boxed or frozen meals for some of the days.
Most tourist attractions in our area offered free pickup/dropoff, so we used that, plus taxi drivers recommended by our landlords, to get around.
