Two week itinerary suggestions for Costa Rica?
March 27th, 2010 | 
Author: I am in the initial planning phase for a 2 week trip to Costa Rica in February 2010. My vacation will start and end in Liberia and I would love to visit both the Caribbean and Pacific sides of the country. Do you think 3 or 4 days on the Caribbean side is doable for a 2 week trip? Any suggestions for itinerary possibilities? Or any recommendations on cities, hotels or restaurants…since I am at the beginning of my research, any recommendations (positive or negative) would be great. Thanks!

Ok, I’m not from CR, but, I had the pleasure of making my college practices there some years ago, and I spent the best 4 months ever!
Among my first recommendations would be to visit Heredia, specially "Monte de la Cruz" which is a mountain and I remember a nice and beautiful hotel called "La Condesa"….
Of course, you can’t miss "Isla Tortuga", you can arrange a one day trip that includes lunch on the beach and interesting activities like hiking.
Hope this helps…. (In San Jose I recommend you InterContinental hotel, it’s just some steps away from a big commercial mall)…
Have a great trip!

I think it is very doable. I have done three day weekend trips to Costa Rica from Los Angeles before and although I have been there probably 10 or 12 times I have never stayed more than a week so you have plenty of time to see this amazing but small country.
My recommendations/favorite places:
1. Grano De Oro Hotel in San Jose (at least eat a meal here)
2. Go to Arenal and get a cabina with a view of the volcano (stay two nights so you hopefully get a clear view)
3. Manuel Antonio has alot of tourists but well worth the visit
4. Check out the Dominical area for some off-the-beaten-path beaches
5. Corcovado National park
