Arenal Volcano / La Fortuna Costa Rica Suggestions? [View all]
My husband and I got a great price on tickets yo San Jose, Costa Rica next month.
Anyone have ideas for La Fortuna/Arenal hotels?
Key Points -
1. We are renting a car. We both used to travel that way when we were single - a rental car/train pass - easy to carry luggage and go on the spirit's good humor! 
2. White Water rafting and super active things are not for me. Have A.S. and back is naturally fused so could cause a hospital visit. Really for adventure I'm looking for a hiking type tour around the volcano. But - maybe my husband can go get crazy with himself and I can do a hot springs/spa treatment? Want to compare those to the ones his mom took me to Calabria Italy last summer.
3. Arriving from San Jose Airport around noon on April 18th and then taking off for other parts on April 20th.
I'm also digging online and seeing that La Fortuna seems to be a cool little town. I'm wondering - do I just want a breakfast deal so that we won't feel tethered to the hotel for dinner at night?
We are thinking we'll leave there and head down to Jaco so we can do a day trip to Manuel Antonio. Then back up north the last day to just chill at an all inclusive.
