The thermal water pools were amazing, and our stay in general was pleasant. In retrospect, I wish we wouldn’t have stayed and paid so much for a night. Instead, I would’ve come for the day and stayed somewhere else.

Jaco is a fun beach town with plenty to do in a relaxed environment. The local energy is fun but not overbearing, letting you have as many or as few thrills as you like. The beach offers inviting waters and soft sands to enjoy while the local restaurants focus on local cuisine, emphasizing seafood since it is so close to the water.
When you visit Manuel Antonio, you'll find yourself in an incredible park that offers plenty of vibrant greenery to explore alongside an inviting beachfront. Hiking paths are available throughout the rainforest area, while the beaches are perfect for swimming and relaxing. Thanks to its crystal clear waters, you may also be interested in snorkeling and diving in some areas of the park.
San Jose is best known for its immense natural beauty in its urban environment. However, when you're not taking in the views, you can enjoy prominent coffee shops and craft microbreweries. Even vegan restaurants are available, making this city one of the most hip you'll find in all of Costa Rica. Don't forget to explore its numerous historical sites and buildings as well.
In Tamarindo, you'll find beachfront fun that's particularly popular with surfers. The waves here tend to be perfect for surfing, but that's just the beginning of the outdoor activities to enjoy.
