![]() When we were not enjoying our hotel, we booked one full-day trip and two half-day trips. Before our trip I showed our family a list of activities offered in the area and we talked about the ones that we found most exciting. There are day trips for whitewater rafting and all types of eco-adventures but we wanted to be sure we did ziplining, canyoning, La Fortuna Waterfall and the Mistico Hanging Bridges. What To Do on a Costa Rica Family Vacation A king-sized bed was in the middle of the room, elegantly draped with white netting dropped at turn down service to further emulate a camping experience. Our two daughters each had their own twin-sized day bed built into the room in nooks with windows allowing for a tropical view. The rooms are stunning with canvas-covered walls, ceilings and roofs. ![]() Those Luxurious TentsĪt Nayara Tented Camp, each private room is elevated on stilts and has a breathtaking volcano view that you can enjoy from your own private plunge pool (with water heated from the natural hot springs), all while surrounded by amazing rainforest flora and fauna. It’s made to feel like you are camping and listening to rain, birds and frogs… all while enjoying five-star luxury. You will find that once you get to your location, the hotels and all tour companies offer any transportation that you might need for day trips. It was not overly expensive and a great way to ease a challenge of traveling in a foreign country. However, the scenery is beautiful and you can watch the landscape change, from arid to more tropical, and see Lake Arenal and the volcano as you approach the hotel. We had a car service for airport and hotel transfers which I would highly recommend as it did not appear that many roads were clearly marked. I will warn you that the drive from Liberia airport to Nayara Tented Camp is not for the feint of heart. It was one of the most windy and curvy roads I have ever been on. As a mother of two motion-sick children, I would recommend being prepared with whatever usual precautions your family needs for a successful journey. There are two International airports in Costa Rica, one in Liberia (more northeast) and one in San Jose (more centrally located). Given Nayara Tented Camp is located 2.5 hours from both Liberia and San Jose we felt our best option was to fly in and out of Liberia as this airport was closer to our beach destination.

Our initial stop was designed with a built-in day for relaxation once we got to the hotel (or to buffer any travel day delays) before our full schedule of full and half-day fun trips commenced. Many people enjoy the central Caribbean coast, including the areas surrounding Quepos, the gateway to Manuel Antonio National Park, but our hearts became set on an adventure in the northern pacific coast of the country. When I started researching travel, I knew that we wanted to be able to see both the rain forest and enjoy a little sunshine at the beach in order to capture different aspects of this beautiful country.
