Traveling Costa Rica Solo - Help!

[Verse]

I'm a young female going to Costa Rica in a week or so, on a really tight budget. I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some tips on rough areas, and where it's safer, but still on the cheaper side. I already know San Jose and Limon aren't the safest from experience.

I also have to go through Bataan, does anyone know if there's a decent hostel, or should I just try to avoid staying there?

Anyone heard anything about Tortuga Feliz or Montana Linda?

Approximate amount of money anyone spent daily there?

Thanks for any advice.
