My wife and I went for our honeymoon a year ago but we stayed closer to Jaco at Villa Caletas. It was awesome. Someone mentioned Manuel Antonio...definitely check that out if you like wildlife. Just be wary about douches when you start getting close to the park. They'll make you park really far away and will be really pushy about it. If someone with a telescope asks you if you want a tour, I'd do it. We saw animals that we wouldn't have otherwise been able to see.

We also did a zipline tour with Adventure Park. I cannot recommend this enough. The guides were awesome and it was an excellent experience. Easily my favorite part of the trip.

Also, the video I made of ziplining with my GoPro: LINK

it's like they trained and hid creatures is certain spots. pretty crazy. "Oh, I think there might be a highly poisonous brain-eating fuzzy spider under this leaf. Sure enough there he eeez!"

Manuel Antonio NF and the Naranjo are great (in addition to just chilling at the beach, surfing etc). My friend has two bungalows on a hill overlooking the beach and forest. I'd post a VRBO link but don't want to get in trouble. Terrific spot. I hate resorts, so it is heaven to me.

I was there last in rainy season--early Nov (May-Dec is rainy season). It rained some every day, but also got plenty of sunshine.

There were three murders in Quepos up the road while we were there, but whatevs. Manuel Antonio seemed much safer.
