re: Costa Rica help

My wife and I have been twice. Our first trip was to Mal Pais. We stayed at Casa Chameleon which was owned by one of the original Baywatch girls. She was there and we had a nice visit with her. To the south is Montezuma which was great. Very near Mal Pais is Santa Teresa. It is a fine place. We rented a car and drove everywhere. We flew into San Jose and took a commuter airline into Tambor where we picked up our rental car. The second trip was to Jaco. It is more developed and maybe a little more to do. We rode horses in the mountains and rented a side by side ATV one day. We thoroughly enjoyed it there but preferred Mal Pais.
