What part of Costa Rica is best for honeymooners and is June a good month?
May 16th, 2010 | 
Author: My hubby and I aren’t into water sports or any of that. We like bars, beaches, spas, shopping, etc. Prefer lots of people to secluded area. Looking for an all inclusive resort. Don’t know what part of costa rica is best. Thanks.
Thanks for all of your input! Btw, we are both 33. So we don’t want to go where it’s all spring-breakish. How is July? Is July better than June?
Jaco is a wasteland of human garbage. The streets are lined with drug users (and dealers offering you stuff right out in the open). The humidity is at 100% all day and night. It’s like living inside an oven. It’s a very small dirty town that has been over developed (most abandoned during credit crunch of 2008-09).
For great weather and nice beaches, go to the Guanacaste area. I recommend Flamingo, Samara, Nosara. Lots of great hotel options.
If you want a really romantic semi-secluded honeymoon, try Montezuma (or Tambor). It is at the south end of the Nicoya Peninsula. The water is crystal clear. There’s less tourists and you can still do all the activities you want.
To get there you go from the airport to Puntarenas, and take a ferry across to the peninsula. It’s the most romantic spot in CR.

Btw, the resort that the previous poster mentioned is spectacular. I have friends who went there with girlfriends and they loved it. It’s a little pricey but it’s your honeymoon, you can save money when you get back.. haha

June is good. The temperature is always great, the only difference is the amount of rain. June is the "green season" (rainy season) but it usually rains in the late morning/early afternoon. So do your beach, and outdoor activities early and be inside getting to know each other better in the afternoon. Some days it doesn’t rain at all, some it rains for an hour or two and then clears up nicely, and rarely does it rain all day. And the rain is usually not heavy, you can be outside with umbrella, or just a poncho. I wouldn’t worry about the weather at all. I have been there over 30 times (my wife is from there) and rain has never really affected any of my plans.

Im Costa Rican!
Jaco Costa Ricans see as a place for old-fashioned, old, dirty and unsafe. this place has beautiful places, but they are all-inclusive hotels. the rest of the people is very corrupt, there protistucion and drugs. I recommend Santa Teresa Beach, the Barcelo Tambor Beach Hotel is Located in Playa Tambor, an All inclusive resort, from there you can move to many places. if looking for something nice and cheap real good I recommend the hotel santa teresa
