Costa Rica Luxury Review, Tortuguero, Monteverde, Night Hikes, Various Wildlife, Rain & Cloud Forest, Ocean Catamaran Sail

We most enjoyed spending time in nature and seeing animals, birds, etc. that we don't see back in the U.S.  Seeing the green turtles laying their eggs on the beach, taking night hikes to see the nocturnal animals in action, hiking in the cloud forest, and spending a day on a Catamaran on the ocean were some of our highlights.  We also liked seeing the variety of ecosystems and micro climates that each area provided.  We visited Manuel Antonio, Tortuguero, Monteverde and Arenal during our ten night stay.  We stayed busy most days but there was still some downtime to enjoy the pool and activities at the resorts.  We especially liked the hotel in Arenal and the hotel in Manuel Antonio. Having capuchin monkeys jumping around our cabins at the lodge in Tortuguero was cool since we were totally immersed in the rain forest environment!  The only means of transportation was by boat on the rivers/canals which was nice.
