When to go

The dry season (roughly December to April) is popular for Guanacaste beaches. The green season brings lush forest, fewer visitors and afternoon showers.

A classic pairing

Spend three or four nights near Arenal, then four or five on the Pacific coast.

Pacing

  • Leave at least one full day unplanned at each stop.
  • Book spa and dinner reservations ahead in high season.
  • Tell properties it is your honeymoon; many note the occasion, but never assume upgrades.
