Hollywood film stars, television actors and a famous pop singer were among the celebrities who chose Costa Rica as their getaway destination during the end-of-year holidays.

According to a news report filed by Kimberly Herrera Salazar of daily newspaper La Prensa Libre, the Directorate of Immigration confirmed the arrival of various celebrities right after Christmas and just before New Year’s Day.

As has been reported by The Costa Rica Star in recent days, the controversial actress Lindsay Lohan celebrated New Year’s Eve in Bahia Salinas, province of Guanacaste, even though she has geotagged some of her Instagram updates as being in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Pop singer Selena Gomez landed at the Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) on December 28th; she arrived with family members but without her current romantic interest Niall Horan of European boy band One Direction. Like Miss Lohan, Miss Gomez arrived at SJO but stayed in Guanacaste, specifically Playas del Coco.

Hours before Miss Gomez arrived, British actor Jude Law landed at the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in Liberia (LIR). Mr. Law celebrated his birthday in Costa Rica. Another actor who landed at LIR was Norman Reedus, who plays the character of Daryl Dixon in the acclaimed television series The Walking Dead, which unfolds around a zombie apocalypse plot.

Another television star that spent part of her holidays in Costa Rica was Troian Bellisario, a young actress who is best known for her work in the ABC Family mystery series Pretty Little Liars.

Miss Bellisario spent Christmas in our country; she visited Jaco Beach, Playa Herradura and Puriscal along with her romantic partner Patrick J. Adams, a Canadian actor whose work includes the USA Network series Suits. Miss Bellisario is the daughter of Donald Bellisario and Deborah Pratt, whose production credits include television classics such as Quantum Leap and Magnum, P.I.
