Travel Tips
I know that everybody who has been in Costa Rica will send you to the Pacific area (Guanacaste), however the Caribbean is exquisite too. I'll recommend you to go to Puerto Viejo, Limon.

Puerto Viejo is a small to medium sized Caribbean village on the Atantic coast of Costa Rica, south of Puerto Limon. Famed for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and rich mix of latino, Afro-Caribbean, and Bribri indiginous culture, Puerto Viejo is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination.

The town of Puerto Viejo is rustic and charming. The only paved road is the main highway which runs along the coast from Limon to Manzanillo. The rest of the streets are dirt-paved, lined with hotels, restaurants, shops, and Caribbean style dwellings. The people of Puerto Viejo are open and friendly to tourists, and know how to show visitors a good time.

Puerto Viejo has an exciting night-life, with several discos, nightclubs, hotels, restaurants and bars which do a lively business. If you're looking for drinks and dancing, or just a place to relax and enjoy a good meal, Puerto Viejo is the place to go.

Puerto Viejo is renowned for its beautiful beaches. The famous Salsa Brava beach in Puerto Viejo is an excellent surfing spot (experts only!). The harbor after which Puerto Viejo is named is calm and peaceful, with beautiful still blue waters and inviting shores. The harbor usually has a few local fishing boats docked there, but is not used as a major marina. Several bars and discos are located right on the beach, making this a great spot to hang out at night.

Tourists come here from all over the world, and Puerto Viejo is a great place to meet international travelers from many exotic countries.

Dispite the recent rise in the tourist trade, Puerto Viejo has managed to maintain its small-town atmosphere and rustic local appeal. Most of the businesses in town are small and operated by the owners. In the streets, local artists and artisans sell their wares. The atmosphere is laid back and slow paced. Puerto Viejo is a great place to relax on the beautiful Caribbean shores of Costa Rica. Come and join us here in paradise! Pura Vida!

Now if you are looking for a 5 star hotel you should go to Conchal Beach (in Guanacaste) and stay at the Paradisus Playa Conchal, its the most beautiful hotel in Costa Rica Source(s): I am from Costa Rica

Other Travel Tips
of course, best is subjective and it depends on what else you are wanting - touristy or rustic?- I liked the beaches in Nosara, on the pacific side up north in the Guanacaste region. Kind of rustic - no 4-5 star hotels there.

Manual Antonio, the big national park that everyone talks about in Costa Rica, is beautiful, too.

I would avoid Jaco - dirty little town, dirty beaches, but some good surfing...
lived there from 1999-2004
Manuel Antonio is the best. The al fresco eating is great, and the street vending. They have their little back-beaches, and it's not very populated. you can get a hotel right on the beach. You just climb over your balcony and run to the shore. it's great.
Junquillal and Avellanas in Guanacaste....
amazing sites, great pubs, great restaurants (Picassos Burgers), beautiful nature, surfing...
