Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a destination with lots of interesting things to do - hiking, biking and ziplining through rainforests, birdwatching, surfing, snorkeling, fishing, yoga and spas with relaxing hot thermal springs.  Lots of beautiful resorts, my favorite Nayara Springs; a boutique hotel near the Arenal  Volcano and Rio Perdido, another small boutique hotel.  For larger hotels, The Hilton and the Marriott Guanacaste are good choices.
