Had a great time at the Hotel Punta Islita. It's SUPER remote and I'm sure there are prettier beaches elsewhere, but the jungle setting and included activities were a nice touch.

I've stayed at the guanacaste resort. It was nice. I'm not sure it was the best (haven't been to any other) but Costa Rica is awesome! Rent a car and go to the hot springs around mt. arenal

Same as EY1 - only been to 1, stayed at a Westin in Guanacaste. It was right on the beach, lunch options/food during the day left a lot to be desired, but I would stay there again
