I've been to all but Hualalai, though only Nevis recently (earlier this Summer). The other two were a few years ago.
FSCR is well out onto Peninsula Papagayo, and had we not spent a fair amount of time traveling CR before our arrival, I probably would have felt trapped. I'm sure there are excursions available from there, but I cannot fathom using it as a base to properly explore Costa Rica.
FS Maui I did not at all like - felt too much like an incredibly busy hotel plopped down on a beach - and we enjoyed Nevis earlier this Summer. Hualalai is highly regarded here.
Based on personal experience and reviews here, I would expect to rank these as:
1) Hualalai
.
2) Nevis
3) CR

50) Maui
