Luxury Costa Rica Travel Review:Arenal, Arenal Volcano, San José, Puerto Jimenez, Corcovado National Park, Zip Lining, Kayaking

Go to Lapa Rios first then go to Nayara because Nayara is a more pampering type of place so nice to go to that after Lapa Rios. If you go to Tabacon hot springs do it at night. We were there during the day after hiking the volcano. Who wants to sit in hot water when you have been sweating. ha ha ha. Oh and definitely bring water shoes! We forgot ours. The hotel seems to favor Tabacon, but Tabacon brings in big tour buses. I have a feeling that Eco Termales would have been a better choice in that it would have been less touristy. It was beautiful though. I would have liked to have been able to get a hopper flight from the Arenal area to Osa, but it couldn't be worked out. Also, I was a little disappointed that the excursion to the Corcovado National Park from Lapa Rios was so expensive. I guess I thought going to Corcovado would have been a simpler thing. Also, if you stay at Lapa Rios ask for a room with a low number, like 1-7. Ours was 12 and is was quite the hike. Don't get me wrong Lapa Rios was a very cool place.
