San Jose - Puerto Viejo - La Fortuna

We went to Costa Rica for almost three weeks in 2015. We explored five different areas of the country and stayed in some stellar hotels! We took this trip *before* we starting filming each of our hotel rooms. So below is a list of our hotels and some recommendations with links to their websites. There is a select image gallery of our photos below.
