I’d like to do a family trip next summer to Costa Rica. Our youngest will be 10 by then so it seems like we’re finally at a decent spot to enjoy most of what it has to offer.
I was thinking about ~10 nights split between La Fortuna, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio area, but after reading this thread I’m second guessing the hops. A few specific concerns/questions:
Driving: I liked the idea of having a rental, but there’s no way I can fit everyone in one car (I think). We will have 6 people - 3 adults - and I only really trust myself to navigate tricky roads so don’t want to get 2 cars. How feasible is it to get around when you stay at places like Tulemar or a vacation rental around La Fortuna?
Tulemar: After learning about it on this thread and checking out their properties, it seems like a winner. It seems like it’s 1 week rentals only though - would I miss out on a lot for a first time trip staying there for a week?
