My wife and I are planning our first trip to Costa Rica. Our main objective is to get in some down time from our jobs and just relax on a beach. After looking at both coasts, we've decided to try Tamarindo, on the Pacific side. We will take a few day trips toward the interior from there. Any suggestions on where to go to get a feel for CR away from the major tourist areas would be appreciaed. If all goes well, we will be back for a more in depth, due diligence trip to see if it is where we would like to retire.
