Hi FT experts,

Leaving on a honeymoon to Costa Rica in a few days and would love some feedback as I firm up this itinerary.

The current plan is:

Land in SJO
Stay 1 night in SJO (hotel?)
Stay 2 nights at Arenal Paraiso
Stay 2 nights in Monteverde (hotel?)
Stay 2 nights in Guanacaste (hotel?)
Depart from LIR

I'd love feedback on the general itinerary and on specific hotels. For hotels, we're looking for nice places but not ritzy - Arenal Paraiso would be a good example, as that's the one that I've figured out so far for the Arenal area part of the trip (it's about 100-125 USD per night, and relatively upscale-feeling, from what I've read).

In Guanacaste, something with a beach on the property is highly desirable.

In Monteverde, no particular preferences but we'd definitely like to do a night hike, zip lining, and all the usual things.

San Jose is the one I'm really not sure about - we land there mid-day, and we'd like to see a coffee plantation tour if there's one nearby. Not quite sure what else there is to do here though.

Thanks in advance! This site as an amazing resource and I'm very grateful for everything I've already learned here.

Thanks! Coffee plantation tour is definitely on the agenda and now I'll consider Poas/La Paz as well.

Any recommendations for hotels in Monteverde, Guanacaste or San Jose? Help would be very much appreciated!
