Casa Luna Hotel & Spa
La Fortuna
Shana By the Beach Resort
Manuel Antonio

A little dated and not the best decore, but beautiful pool area and restaurant.. good location within walking distance to the beach.. it's built on a hill so if mobility is an issue this probably isn't the place for you.

Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco
Monteverde Costa Rica

Really wonderful hotel, super friendly staff.. the covered pool was a great place to lounge with beautiful bird views. The spa was great..had a wonderful massage and facial. The location was right across the street from a supermarket and close to downtown. Highly recommend this place! And the restaraunt (although a little pricey) had delicious food!

Tips for future travelers

Monteverde is a little cooler and has more rain/unpredictable weather.. it's a small town so 2-3 nights here was plenty to see all we hoped to!

Although our tour guide was very nice, the tour was not at all organized. It really dragged out and went over the time frame over an hour (and not in a good way)
