Arenal is awesome. Stayed at the Arenal Observatory hotel and it's about as good of a view as you can get.

then use the remainder of days for beach and relaxing


AirBnB in Manuel Antonio (tons of great options from simple/very cheap to big houses with private pools; both with great views). Beaches in the park are great + tons of wildlife

We stayed here as well. It doesn't have AC, but the weather is pretty temperate there so that wasn't a problem. It's a gorgeous property with lots of hiking trails, free guided hikes, etc. But it is a really miserable drive down a very bad road. It takes about 20 minutes to go the short distance because the road is just full of potholes. Most roads in Costa Rica aren't this way! We were still glad we stayed here as we took advantage of most of the trails that were free.

Maybe the road is better than 3 years ago!

I second renting a house near Manuel Antonio. Took my kids (14 & 11 at the time). National park there is amazing with sloths & monkeys. Beach is great. Lots of good places to eat. We did a day doing a waterfall tour (jumping off waterfalls) that my girls still talk about.
