If you want to just relax, Aruba. If you want a bit of everything, adventure, beach, rain forecast, hot spring, hiking, etc...then Costa Rica.

Caribbean Islands/Aruba > CR

Puerto Rico has nice beaches and is cheaper

Aruba

Aruba is Dutch owned and the people/culture is interesting. Both are great water and overall similar tourist experiences. I make it a point to stay at a more local place everywhere and pay for the day passes at resorts. CR does not have that local vs owner (blonde blue-eyed) dynamic. Depends on what you’re into, but I would take CR if between the two.

Lots of fun things to do in Costa Rica. They do have thermal springs and mud baths. Zip lining and guided nature hikes (sloth spotting) are fun. There are some nice beaches. Tamarindo is a fun town but the beach is so-so. Check out Manuel Antonio. You can hang out on the beach with monkeys, macaws and maybe a sloth or two.

When’s the best time to go to CR? and any recs on which part?

Don’t go to Jaco is my recommendation
