MiChelee Michele Markey Post Count: 1 Msg: #1 183 days ago, January 24th 2008 | Hi Everyone! | My boyfriend and I will be in the country from February 16- February 23. My thoughts, so far: Fly in on Sat. to San Jose and drive up to Arenal for the night. Any ideas where to stay to view the volcano, hit a hot tub and relax with a good meal? Sunday:Explore (maybe some canyoneering during the day and hiking?) and then hit the hot springs at night. I guess stay in the same place Monday: Zip line Monteverde area? Drive over and around to the Nicoya Peninsula and down to Santa Teresa Spend Monday Night-Friday night down there: would like to have surf lesson, beach relaxing, dancing, drinks, music, snorkeling on a boat trip- just experience the slow life. Sat. AM: boat across the Peninsula to Puntarenas and head up to San Jose? We live in Manhattan and want to wind-down but not drop a TON of cash. Our airfare was really $$$ Is this a good itinerary AND WHERE SHOULD WE LODGE??? Want romantic, secluded and NOT touristy.

For a ggod place to stay in Arenal try La Pradera it has Cabins at about $80 per night and has great views of the Volcano. Bladi Hot Springs are great for chilling out and have a swim up cocktail bar. When you are in Monteverde you have to eat at Morphos in the centre of town, they have the best food. have a great trip Katharine Michael 143 Michael Smith Post Count: 30 Msg: #3 153 days ago, February 24th 2008 | Monteverde has a 1KM Zip Line. Very nice. I like the Zip Lines in Arenal because of the view. I have lived here for 2 years and must say the zip lines was the biggest rush I have ever done. | Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 3 | |||||||||||
