My boyfriend and I took a 10-day trip to Costa Rica in November.
1. Hotel Presidente
Hotel Presidente, San Jose, San Jose Metro
Check Rates ABS:HotelCheckRates-d296479?src=GoListDetail&fromServlet=GoListDetail&Action=QC_Button
Ave price: $122
2. Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Monteverde
Our opinions on Monteverde were mixed, but it was definitely an interesting experience. We spent 2 days here, which was enough for us. Important note: the roads there are much worse than we ever expected, so be prepared!
3. Tabacon Hot Springs
Tabacon Hot Springs, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Arenal Volcano National Park
This place is beautiful. I can't imagine what it's like in high season though... it could probably get a tad too crowded.
4. Arenal Hanging Bridges
Arenal Hanging Bridges, Arenal Volcano National Park, Province of Alajuela
Nice nature walk! Our guide Juan Carlos was great.
5. Sky Tram/Sky Trek Tour
Sky Adventure, La Fortuna de San Carlos, Arenal Volcano National Park
This group in La Fortuna/Arenal area was great. I admit I was a little scared when I saw how high some of the zip lines were. But it's not scary at all, and was very fun! You get to see some nice views when you're up there (as long as it's not rainy/foggy).
6. La Choza de Laurel, La Fortuna
Great local Tico food
7. Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort
Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort, Tamarindo, Province of Guanacaste
Check Rates ABS:HotelCheckRates-d293489?src=GoListDetail&fromServlet=GoListDetail&Action=QC_Button
Ave price: $176
I was afraid this place would be too touristy as the evil big beach resort. But the truth of the matter is it's a great place to stay after a week of traveling through the country. It's one of those places where you can just stroll outside your room, sit on a chair on the beautiful beach, and have a frozen drink. I think it's good for young people, as there's a lot of surfing and socializing at the beach (and bar). We were here for 3 days and we wanted one more day. :)
