Thank you all for your responses! We really wanted to see all 3 areas, Pappagayo, Areanl and Manuel Antonio in our 10 days. Do you all feel it is too much to cover? We would consider hiring a private driver so we could enjoy the scenery and stop along the way. I see there are also reasonably priced flights. Does anyone have input? In Arenal I was trying to book Nayara, however only their "adults only" springs property is available (may splurge anyway), in Manuel Antonio I am torn between Gaia and Tulemar. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
