If you like nature I would recommend Monteverde. It is in the "cloud forest". Real neat area along the continental divide. The beaches in CR are not the greatest but it is a beautiful place. Make sure your cell phone is unlocked. I bought a Costa Rican SIM card and enough data and minutes for my trip for around $25 USD. I had a Costa Rican phone number and was able to use WAZE. Addresses in Costa Rica are not real great so WAZE helps. There are many locations such as "Tamagringo" that are popular with tourists. You can go there or any of the smaller communities will have more of a Costa Rican flavor. I would recommend eating Gallo Pinto in the mornings. I have been trying to make some here but I cannot replicate it. Have fun.

if so, GREAT place. absolutely beautiful place . i think it's on herradura bay. close to alot of things to do in jaco. we swam in a pool with scarlet parrots eating figs 20 feet away. green parakeets eating out the window at first light.
best thing was the bakery that i went to every morning and got a kolache. grocery store down the street has alot of typical american items(monster energy drink). sushi resturant, fish place, walk to the beaches.
wish i was able to go back this year.
