Cuba to Costa Rica: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Cuba to Costa Rica? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.

Both Cuba and Costa Rica use Type A/B plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.

The voltage and frequency in Costa Rica (120V, 60Hz) are close to Cuba (110V, 60Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Costa Rica hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.
