You're absolutely right about the overdevelopment, especially on the Pacific Coast, it's tough to watch. It is getting harder and harder to have an authentic and cultural experience in Costa Rica. However, as you mentioned, the development trend isn't all bad. Many people are traveling to Costa Rica to participate in volunteer vacations which combine community service projects with homestays and adventure travel.
