What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Playa Flamingo?

"In Playa Flamingo, it's important to avoid being overly direct or confrontational, as Ticos (Costa Ricans) value politeness and indirect communication. It's also considered rude to point with your fingers, instead use your whole hand or nod in the direction. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics, religion, or personal finances, as these are considered private matters. It's also considered impolite to refuse food or drink when offered by a host. Even if you're not hungry or thirsty, it's best to accept a small amount to show appreciation. Punctuality is not highly valued in Costa Rican culture, so don't be offended if locals are late to social gatherings. However, you should still strive to be on time for business meetings or formal events. Costa Ricans are very environmentally conscious, so avoid littering or showing disrespect towards nature. Lastly, while tipping is not mandatory in Costa Rica, it's appreciated, especially in the tourism industry. However, be aware that many restaurants automatically include a 10% service charge in the bill," remarked another expat who made the move to Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica.
