2 Nights: JW Marriott Guanacaste
Spent most of the time here on the hotel property, lounging at the large pool and beach. Hotel also had many activities on property - mountain biking, cocktail classes, and more. Restaurants on property were decently priced and free breaskfast was impressive. Left property for lunch one day at Lola's on the beach. Drove to dinner at El Sapo Ristopizza one night in Playa Longosta - highly recommend the Star Pizza there!
2 Nights: Hotel Punta Islita, Autograph Collection
Spent all of our time here on the hotel property. Absolutely incredible hotel, one of my favorites I have ever stayed at. Beautiful infintiy pool and many of the rooms have small private pools. The food at the restaurant was delicious and very reasonably priced. The pool bar had amazing cocktails. And the hotel includes SO many free activites - we did horse back riding, zip lining, monkey hike, and a cocktail class.
Been to Costa Rica and really enjoyed the Volcano National Park. I remember the strong smell of sulfur. Did you see any wildlife (sloths) while there?
