Traveling to Costa Rica

• raiderbuck

  ...for vacation.
  
  Anyone ever been? I'm looking to plan a vacation with my lady friend, and CR happened to pop into our heads. I've only been out of the country twice, and she's been all over the world. But never to CR. Most likely going to stay a 5-7 days down there. However, I know nothing about the area haha. Definitely looking for an all inclusive experience. I don't want to have to worry about spending money on food and drinks and stuff.
  
  Also open to Cabo...would Cabo be the better bet?

  Fab, did you look at any other resorts before booking the Dreams in DR? It looks really nice from the pictures.

  I hear that there are a couple of islands (Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna) off the coast that are pretty interesting. Used to be owned by a company called InGen. I believe that they are off limits, though.

  The wife went to CR for school and fell in love with it. I know other people who have as well. Pull the trigger.

  My brother is taking 25 inner city Cleveland kids there for Spring Break. It looks awesome--especially the zip line through the rain forest.

  Was there in '06, the Papagayo Peninsula is popular, several all-inclusive resorts as well as the Four Seasons are there. Short trips to Arenal, the jungle, ziplining, river tours, etc. You fly into Liberia (there's a direct from Newark). The dry season is March - May and the wet season is October-December. Relatively inexpensive and the locals are very friendly.
