Not sure what your likes are. But Costa Rica is about flora and fauna. There are nature tours, volcano tours, zip lines. West coast area has many things to do. San Jose has a market area, museums close together. A couple of days there was enough for me. I liked staying at the El Presidente hotel, it was within walking distance to many things. Hopper airlines are the best way to travel. Short trip times vs bus rides on winding rough roads. But now there is a better road to the Jaco beach area. There are many Expat's that live in San Jose. And you will need to exchange dollars to Colons for purchases. But major CC are accepted .

SXM??? Wendell
