Thanks to everyone for posting comments,links, etc. Very much appreciated. The Allegro Resort Papagayo is on the Gulf of Papagayo on Manzanillo Beach 25 minutes west from the airport and approx. 30 minutes west of Liberia. The resort was built in 2000 and has 300 rooms. Rates fairly reasonable.

Are there guided tours in the eco-forests? Wouldn't want to take on any snakes or spiders (g). The resort charges $US105. each for a tour to the Monteverde Cloud Forest (MCF), while someone at work who was there last year said renting a car and driving to MCF was the way to go. If there was a guide there, I would rent and drive.

He also recommended a trip to Guanacaste to see many waterfalls and great beaches. Don't know where place is in relation to resort.

Leaning to take just a week this time. Hope to take a ski vacation to the Eastern Townships of Quebec in March (hope they have some snow - none here in southern Ontario).

Also, do you require inoculations before flying to Costa Rica?

Thanks again everyone.

Dave
