My wife (who's from CR) and I are early in the process. We've decided that we'll likely look for something somewhere in Guanacaste because we want beach AND proximity to airport (LIR).
We go each August to visit her family. Last year we began testing different places by staying in Carrillo and Junquillal with day trips to a lot of other nearby beaches. That has informed us for this year's trip, and we'll be staying in Langosta/Tamarindo, Potrero/Flamingo, and Hermosa (Guanacaste not Jaco).
Of course, there are tons of beautiful places in CR, and the better climate (read: less hot) is found at higher elevations. Lots of people love the La Fortuna area. We've spent time near her parents in Atenas, and I especially like the Roca Verde community there.
I think we'll know a lot more about our direction after this year's trip. Our goal would be to buy something in the next 2-3 years. Would love to share info as we get it.
