It's all pretty sweet everywhere I've been so far, I just don't really prefer the beach for work/heat/distraction reasons, but I do visit whenever I can take a day or two off. There isn't really anywhere I wouldn't recommend outside of the Limon/Moin port area (I don't know any good port towns in the caribe, to be honest, too much drug traffic drama)... just keep in mind the further from the city you stray the further from good internet you're getting with the exception of certain places... Puerto Viejo, it's pretty far off for example but they're well connected enough

Tamarindo was sooo tourist oriented, you feel a bit like you’re a walking wallet - the vibe outside of town couldn’t be more different and it felt very manufactured and didn’t have much culture. Good place for people who like cruises. Very pretty though.
I find Tamarindo to have all the amenities, but also crowded and basic. Santa Theresa super overrated imo. Pretty sure they keep the roads dusty and rocky there to cultivate a certain vibe. Manuel Antonio mad touristy. Want to hit more Osa and Pavones next time.
My favorite spot was between there and Jaco.
How’s the pacific side? I heard the most party hardy crew is there.
San Jose was great, went to brunch in the Escalares or whatever. Good vibes, low key, girls looked nice and friendly, fairly safe, and fairly reasonable prices.
